Afore Announces InterPort

InterPort Carrier Grade Ethernet
AFORE’s InterPort Carrier Grade Ethernet modules address the wide range of capabilities required for robust and manageable Ethernet implementations. Through the utilization of technologies such as MAC in MAC, Q in Q, PBT, QoS, OAM and Ring protection InterPort allows Ethernet to scale and meet the operational requirements of transport networks.

InterPort Pseudowire (PWE3) Services
AFORE’s InterPort Pseudowire modules enable next generation platforms to fully support existing network applications such as ATM, TDM, Frame Relay and PPP / ML-PPP with flexible Any Service Any Port (ASAP) provisioning. Fundamental to the InterPort solution is its robust support for native protocols such as OAM, QoS, Structured and Unstructured modes and network timing and synchronization.

"InterPort enables cost-effective development of networking platforms for the new generation of networks", said Jonathan Reeves, Chief Strategy Officer at AFORE. "InterPort is the missing link in the ATCA food chain making it possible for ATCA, MicroTCA and network silicon vendors to include feature rich Carrier Grade Ethernet, Pseudowire and PBT in their portfolios and address the lucrative access, metro and wireless backhaul markets."
