| ARRIS' Touchstone CSM 470 T1/E1 MTA Solution is Available ARRIS and Resolute Networks Ltd. have announced the general availability of the ARRIS Touchstone Commercial Services Modem (CSM) 470 T1/E1 MTA, an integrated end-to-end solution enabling Multi-Service Operators (MSOs) to provision T1/E1 services over standard HFC DOCSIS infrastructure. The solution is based on ARRIS' DOCSIS technology implementation and Resolute's standards-compliant CES technology. This solution was developed based on a grant from the BIRD Foundation. According to Kagan Research, this increased level of activity will lead to the availability of cable-based commercial services to 54% of U.S. businesses by 2007. The joint ARRIS-Resolute solution will be marketed by ARRIS to key MSOs, allowing them to deliver T1 voice, frame relay, and leased line services in the U.S., and similar E1-based services worldwide, over standard DOCSIS infrastructure. The customer premises part of the solution consists of the ARRIS Touchstone CSM 470 Commercial Services Modem with one T1/E1 port, in addition to a standard 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. With Resolute CES module technology, standard T1/E1 connectivity is provided without the need to replace or reconfigure the T1/E1-based PBX, frame relay access, router or other equipment already installed at the customer premises. The head-end solution includes a dedicated pseudo-wire CES aggregator based on Resolute module technology, and is designed to minimize rack space and power consumption, while supporting scalability through a range of aggregation density options for handoff of T1/E1 traffic to the carrier TDM network. The Commercial Service Modem solution was developed to comply with the guidelines of Integrated DOCSIS Access Device (IDAD) RFI published by CableLabs in November 2004. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
