[November 05, 2009] Zhone Releases ETHX 3100 Series with Pseudo-Wire Tweet Nov 05, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Zhone Technologies, Inc., a provider of network access solutions, announced the introduction of its ETHX 3100 Series platforms with Pseudo-wire Edge-to-Edge Emulation (PWE3) enabling operators to migrate TDM applications onto a converged packet network for simpler network management and immediate OPEX savings. The 3100 series Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) provide Virtual LAN support with Quality of Service (QoS) for the most latency sensitive voice and video services, making it ideal for 3G/4G mobile backhaul and T1/E1 leased line applications. Designed for deployment at the user site, the 3100 series with PWE preserves existing PBX and TDM equipment investments and is cost optimized to provide operators return on investment. MEF18 certified and based on the latest IEEE 802.3ah EFM standard for SHDSL, the 3100 series enables up to 48 Mbps over four copper pairs and supports IP, MPLS and MEF encapsulation. The ETHX 3100s support a variety of clock recovery techniques (Adaptive, Synchronous, and Differential) and comply with the stringent clock accuracy requirements defined by the ITU-T G.8261 specification. Zhone also introduced the ETHX-3140, a four port EAD without pseudowire emulation for pure IP environments. The ETHX-3100 and 3140 can be configured and managed via Zhone's ZMS, or a simple web interface for point and click configuration.
