PETALUMA, Calif. -- Advanced Fibre Communications®, Inc. (AFC®) (Nasdaq: AFCI - News), an industry-leading designer and manufacturer of next-generation edge access equipment and multiservice broadband solutions for the telecommunications industry, today announced a series of generally available enhancements to its Telliant(TM) 5000 Central Office Multiservice Platform. Building upon its unprecedented DSL and ATM aggregation capabilities, Telliant's new enhancements include:
Integrated IP BRAS (broadband remote access server) supporting subscriber management and user authentication services
Static and Dynamic IP Routing with OSPFv2 protocol support
New PPE (packet processing engine) option that enables Layer 3 IP-based services for Telliant interface modules
High-density ATM aggregation with a new 24-port T1/E1 UNI/IMA module supporting up to a class-leading 456 T1/E1 ports per chassis
High-speed trunking and aggregation with three new optical OC-12c/STM4 ATM modules with up to 19 active and 19 protection ports in a chassis
Eliminating costly one-box, one-application approaches -- which ultimately result in expensive, inefficient and unscalable networks -- Telliant's new features immediately help service providers reduce their capital (CapEx) and operational (OpEx) expenditures when deploying advanced broadband services, such as high-speed Internet and video over DSL.Advanced Fibre Communications Inc.
