ACE Overview Presented by: CBNetworks Technical Support Email : support.technique@cbnetworks.fr
Agenda • Introduction • RAD ATM Products • Typical Applications • Key Features • Summary - Worldwide References
ATM Market Trends • ATM still remains a major data transport network technology for incumbent carriers • Carriers can use ATM to generate new revenue using existing infrastructures • Deployment of 3G cellular networks • Continuing growth in DSL leads to increased investments in ATM
Important Benefits of ATM • Proven reliability • Allows flexible multiservice traffic adaptation • Scalability based on existing infrastructure • QoS assurance based on the OAM functionality • Traffic Management - allows network bandwidth utilization • New services based on GbE/MPLS infrastructure are emerging but ATM is still more widespread
Common ATM Applications • Native ATM • Legacy services emulation (LAN, TDM, FR etc.) • VLAN applications over ATM • DSL service concentrator • Cellular backhauling Legacy services Existing CPE’s New services & CPE’s IP, LAN ATM Access Concentrator Ethernet Switch Ethernet NTU PBX-Voice
