CALABASAS, Calif. -- Furthering its commitment to providing a comprehensive range of cost-effective IP networking solutions, Alcatel (NYSE: ALA - News; Paris: CGEP.PA - News) today announced a new family of wide area network (WAN) routers that offer exceptional performance, comprehensive security and other value-added features at a significantly lower price compared to existing solutions available on the market.

Alcatel's new OmniAccess WAN products ensure that users across multiple locations have high-speed and secure access to IT and communications resources from anywhere within the organization, which is critical in today's application-rich, multimedia environments.

The new T1/E1 WAN routers include the one-port Alcatel OmniAccess 601 and the two-port Alcatel OmniAccess 602 for branch office networks, and the four- port Alcatel OmniAccess 604 for large branch offices or network aggregation. Also available is the Alcatel OmniAccess 625 chassis solution for larger aggregation requirements, which can be configured for up to 16 T1/E1 ports or two T3/E3 ports.

The Alcatel OmniAccess WAN products provide full wire-speed performance under heavy loads, even with multiple services enabled. All multi-port versions of the OmniAccess WAN family have the ability to bond multiple T1/E1s or multiple T3/E3s into a single logical circuit to provide aggregated bandwidth of up to 24 or 90 Mbps, respectively. This considerably improves bandwidth availability and provides end-users in branch offices with a faster and more secure experience when accessing applications -- from any location.

Additionally, the Alcatel OmniAccess 600 routers provide an ideal solution for server-based IP telephony deployments, such as those based on Alcatel's OmniPCX Enterprise platform with Alcatel IP Touch phones.

"There's a dramatic increase in market demand for higher speed WAN deployments that provide secure access to applications," said Tom Burns, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Alcatel's enterprise network infrastructure activities. "Our new OmniAccess WAN solutions address this demand and are generating great customer interest due to its low cost, exceptional performance, and broad feature set."

"As an Alcatel data networking reseller, we use what we sell to customers so that we can show them first-hand how the equipment will function in their network," said Angie Witham, president and CEO of Dugdale Communications. "Alcatel's OmniAccess 600 WAN products are an attractive addition to Alcatel's voice and data products since they address edge security concerns, are priced to fit well into most budgets, and include numerous routing and security services as standard features."
