Turin Networks Launches Carrier-Grade Converged Services Access Gateway

Turin Networks (News - Alert), a provider of carrier Ethernet, converged services and wireless backhaul solutions for wireline and wireless network operators, has introduced new features that upgrade its Adit 600 platform.

 

Turin has added new advanced IP routing and IP service delivery capabilities to Audit 600 that optimizes the product line to facilitate the migration to VoIP, the delivery of Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) services as well as managed IP VPNs for small to medium businesses (SMB).

 

The new upgrades of Audit 600 will help Turin which is also supported by research results of In-Stat (News - Alert) that concluded that the market for Multi-Service Business Gateway (MSBG) devices is poised for high growth. In-Stat defines MSBGs as a class of products, which integrate multiple voice, data, and video communication functions into a single device and are purpose-built for SMB applications.

 

"Going forward, it is clear that MSBGs will be the means by which new IP communications technologies and applications are adopted at the small, medium and branch office," said Keith Nissen, Principal Analyst at In-Stat. "As a result, we expect the worldwide MSBG market will generate over $2.7 billion annually by 2012."

 

The Adit 600, which is deployed by seven Local Exchange Carriers in the U.S., is considered as the flagship of Turin's iConnect for Converged Services portfolio.

 

The new Adit release features the MultiService Router card (MSR) which enables the integration of advanced IP routing and IP service delivery capabilities into Turin's modular Adit 600 Converged Services Access Gateway (News - Alert) platform. Configured with the MSR card, the Adit 600 works as carrier-grade, multiservice platform for the customer premises.

 

It enables service providers to deliver new revenue-generating IP-services to SMBs, such as Session Initiation Protocol (News - Alert) (SIP)-based voice over IP (VoIP), Dedicated Internet Access and managed IP VPNs, and traditional TDM data and voice services.  

 

Turin's Adit 600 has fully modular architecture that supports hot-swappable service cards. Unlike other devices which only support fixed configurations, Adit 600 provides greater flexibility, system reliability, and a longer product lifecycle.

 

Additionally, the Adit 600 does not require fans for cooling, further increasing the reliability of this NEBS Level 3-certified platform.

 

 

The Adit 3000 Series comprises the Adit 3104 Converged Services Line-Side Gateway for enabling VoIP communications with analog telephones and fax machines, the Adit 3500 Converged Services Trunking Gateway for enabling VoIP communications with legacy PBXs, and the Adit 3200 Converged Services Access Router.

 

"The Adit product line is an important component of Turin's overall product portfolio and the cornerstone of our iConnect for Converged Services solution," said Henry Wasik (News - Alert), President and CEO of Turin Networks. "In addition to complementing our iConnect for Carrier Ethernet and Wireless Backhaul solutions that focus on reducing customers' OpEx and CapEx, our Converged Services Adit solutions enable our service provider customers to grow their top line revenues. This significantly increases Turin's value within our customers' networks."
