Press ReleaseCeterus Networks Debuts New Product in Universal Transport System FamilyAllen, TX, May 17, 2005UTS1530 Is Optimized for Converged Data and Voice Transport for 3G Cell Tower Backhaul or Ethernet Services to Distributed Enterprises Ceterus Networks, a provider of flexible transport solutions, today announced the release of the UTS1530 multiservice delivery platform, the latest addition to the Ceterus Universal Transport System product family. As carriers face increasing demand for advanced packet-based Ethernet services, Ceterus' Universal Transport System enables them to sustain existing circuit-based TDM voice, Frame Relay and other revenue-generating legacy services while also seamlessly introducing Ethernet services over a common transport infrastructure. The UTS1530 is specifically optimized for two key applications: aggregation and backhaul of both voice traffic and 3G data traffic from cell towers, and delivery of Ethernet and TDM service bundles to large distributed enterprises. This is accomplished without requiring expensive and time-consuming new fiber overlays. In these critical applications, the UTS1530 transports Ethernet and legacy services over existing DS3 access circuits, employing International Telecommunications Union (ITU) circuit bonding standards to aggregate multiple individual circuits into a single, larger connection. “Legacy private line, frame relay, and ATM services are the most abundant today, but we are in the beginning of a long period of moving to Ethernet services,” said Michael Howard, Principal Analyst at Infonetics Research. “Ceterus Networks designed its products to help carriers achieve smooth operations during this transition period. Ceterus' adoption of ITU circuit bonding adds a flexibility that enterprises and mobile wireless operators need as they add new bandwidth, while allowing them to use the same OAM&P procedures that they've been using for the circuit network.” Based on the ITU's standards for virtual concatenation of copper circuits, the circuit bonding approach of the UTS1530 allows highly efficient and extremely flexible transport of services over multiple DS3s. Because it uses the underlying circuit network, the entire Ceterus product family retains the operational procedures most familiar to carriers. “The ability to deploy one platform that adapts to a next-generation service like Ethernet–based data or packetized voice as well as any existing TDM service allows carriers to decrease the cost of deploying new services,” said Dave Stehlin, President and CEO of Ceterus. “Carriers can trust the UTS1530 to service mission-critical applications for their most important customers, while still controlling the cost of service delivery.” About Ceterus Networks Ceterus Networks provides flexible transport solutions that enable Ethernet as well as legacy service delivery to any location, over copper or fiber. By transforming existing wireline and wireless networks to carry flexible packet-based Ethernet as well as TDM services, Ceterus products enable providers and enterprises to deliver these high-bandwidth, high-QoS managed services to every location, while minimizing access cost and capital expense. Ceterus Networks is a privately-held company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Allen, Texas. For more information, visit the company's web site at www.ceterus.com. Contacts: Tony Katsulos |
