| Tasman Networks Introduces 3120 Converged Services Router Tasman Networks, the world's leading supplier of high-performance, converged services routers, introduced the industry's most efficient and economical router. The Tasman 3120's simple and scalable architecture beats competing products on both price and performance, offering two to four times the throughput (at wire speed), of competitors' products at the lowest price per port. In a separate announcement issued today, Tasman released the results of third-party tests by The Tolly Group. The results indicate that the Tasman 3120 far surpassed routers from Cisco and Adtran, providing maximum throughput and performance, particularly when transmitting high volumes of small packets, even with security and Quality of Service (QoS) features enabled. The Tasman 3120 performed as much as four times better for the more difficult small packet sizes -- significant because high-demand applications such as VoIP depend on rapid transmission of large volumes of small packets. As with all the company's products, the Tasman 3120 was built to converge a variety of network services while simplifying the user experience and eliminating unnecessary complexity that impedes the performance of many competitive products. Built from the ground up to deliver high performance, wire speed, and maximum flexibility in a modular architecture, the Tasman 3120 offers an efficient form factor and full VPN integration. Customers can configure the router using several different line cards, and they can easily assign ports based on their changing application requirements. Modules available for the Tasman 3120 include: -- 4 port or 8 port T1/E1 Medium Module -- 2 port or 4 port Universal Serial Interface Medium Module -- 1 port DS3 Clear Channel T3 Medium Module The Tasman 3120 integrates services in a modular configuration and is simple to configure and deploy. It offers significant performance advantages for packets ranging from 64 to 1400 bytes, with advanced services enabled. Its virtual Ethernet-enabled router technology supports transparent LAN service for high security and performance commonly required in backhaul and T1/E1 aggregation. The Tasman 3120 also supports Quality of Service for prioritization in critical applications like VoIP, fax, and video running in Layer 2 or Layer 3 configurations. "Organizations are adding more features to their networks with security, VPN, filtering and more, " said Michael Kennedy, co-founder and managing partner, Network Strategy Partners. "Tasman's new 3120 Converged Services router can handle the demands of additional services, while maintaining full wire speed and performance. Additional services also result in a higher level of complexity -- another challenge that Tasman has successfully addressed with routers that are simple to deploy and use. This is an important issue for enterprises at the branch level, where IT resources are often minimal." "With the introduction of the 3120 router, Tasman is once again setting a new industry performance standard and demonstrating that innovative companies and best-of-breed technology can successfully compete with, and even outdo, industry leaders, " said Paul Smith, president and CEO of Tasman. "Our record results and a 68 percent increase in customer sales last year are concrete evidence that Tasman routers are capturing the attention of a significant portion of the market and are favored by a growing list of carriers, OEMs and enterprises."
