Keymile Goes to Futurecom

HANOVER, Germany -- KEYMILE will be on stand C70 at the Futurecom in São Paulo (October 27 - 30, 2008). The company will show its Multi-Service Access Node MileGate that helps telecommunications companies to expand their networks so they are future proof.

KEYMILE, a leading manufacturer and supplier of Next-Generation Access systems, will be taking part as an exhibitor in this year's Futurecom. The event is considered the most important event of the Telecom and IT sectors in Latin America.

In São Paulo, KEYMILE will present new functions featured in its IP-MSAN MileGate. The new integrated CESoP functionality allows for transmission of TDM voice and data services via packet networks (CESoP = Circuit Emulation Services over Packet), which makes network migration to All-IP significantly easier. SHDSL-EFM functions have also been extended to implement symmetrical Ethernet fixed line network connections for business customer services.

To network operators, the CESOP functionality means that they can now for the first time carry out a complete migration of the access network to an All-IP network, not just for voice, but also for data services. Even if data transmission in the core network is carried out via Ethernet/IP, operators can in the future provide existing TDM services to end customers in the usual quality and at the same level of reliability.

With the EFM card (Ethernet in the First Mile,) network operators can now use Ethernet from the exchange to the end customer. The EFM card uses Ethernet on the subscriber line and therefore standardises the transmission between subscriber and core network. This saves operating costs and makes launching new services more economical. SHDSL-EFM transmission means that services like symmetrical Ethernet fixed line network connections; broadband Internet and video conferencing can be provided.

The MileGate access platform has also benefited from numerous further enhancements, for instance in expanded multicasting for IPTV and improved QoS functionality for triple-play applications.
