Telco Systems to Support ATMC's 3G Wireless Backhaul NetworkOct 31, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Telco Systems, a provider of Carrier Ethernet access solutions, announced that ATMC Wireless has installed the Company's T-Metro 200 multi-service platform with OC3 aggregation and T-Marc 254 demarcation devices to backhaul 3G cell traffic over their Metro Ethernet packet-based network. The T-Metro can emulate 84 T1 unstructured channels multiplexed on a single OC-3 interface. The T-Marc 254 offers four T1 ports that support circuit emulation technology. Circuit emulation represents a cost effective option which enables providers to reduce capital expenditures by leveraging existing circuit-based investments to provide a migration to packet based networks. By backhauling multiple T1 onto Ethernet, providers can also cut operating costs while by minimizing leased line services. "Telco Systems' Circuit Emulation over Ethernet backhaul solution enables ATMC to quickly deliver both TDM and Ethernet feeds to cell sites, while meeting the stringent quality requirements of backhauling voice traffic," said Clint Berry, VP of Network Operations at ATMC. "This solution enabled us to leverage our Metro Ethernet network at a fraction of the cost of SONET and other alternatives." "ATMC is an example of how a carrier can secure new business utilizing CES," said Steven Curtis, senior VP of sale and service at Telco Systems. "We look forward to addressing the needs of customers like ATMC, which will continue to shape our wireless backhaul strategy going forward."
