Press ReleaseNew Product News: Ceterus UTS810 for Ethernet over NxT1Allen, TX, October 24, 2005Ceterus Networks' UTS810 Expands Reach for Service Providers' Ethernet Services UTS810 allows cost effective Ethernet coverage to schools, distributed enterprises and cell towers over ubiquitous T1/E1 access facilities. Ceterus Networks, a provider of flexible transport solutions, today announced the release of the UTS810 Ethernet Access Platform, the latest addition to the Ceterus Universal Transport System product family. The UTS810, with its circuit bonding capabilities, enables low cost delivery of dedicated Ethernet services over copper to customers in the critical 5 to 10 Mbps segment. Carriers recognize the growing demand for Ethernet with schools, medical centers and other distributed enterprises, and need ways to deliver these services cost-effectively. Using the robust and ubiquitous T1 network allows carriers to deliver Ethernet services quickly in an inexpensive and flexible manner to reach every customer on the copper network. The UTS810 bonds multiple T1s into a single “virtual pipe” using the ITU's new standards for circuit bonding over copper. This bandwidth-efficient technology means hat carriers can better utilize their assets, and enterprises can receive new Ethernet connectivity with the high quality / low jitter and latency they expect. “Millions of dollars are spent unnecessarily by carriers to deliver lower-speed Ethernet services over new fiber when they could use their existing, nearly ubiquitous T1 nettwork. Extending the reach of Ethernet to all locations in a cost-effective manner is critical to carriers as they extend their Ethernet services,” said Michael Howard, Principal Analyst at Infonetics Research. “The non-ubiquitous fiber footprint today artificially limits Ethernet services adoption, so products like the Ceterus UTS810 give carriers useful, pragmatic tools to expand their Ethernet access. Carriers gain additional savings when using T1 circuits, in that the OAM&P procedures are in place and familiar." “The UTS810 affords service providers an extremely cost-effective option for those locations that require an Ethernet-only solution,” said Jim Tindall, Vice President of Product Management at Ceterus Networks. “Our product family now meets the carriers' requirements to reach all locations including those with both Ethernet & TDM-based services, as they continue to migrate toward an all-packet environment, as well as those that have already moved to a pure packet infrastructure.” Designed for delivery of enterprise Ethernet services as well as for cell tower/WiMAX backhaul, the UTS810 is NEBS 3 certified, and hardened for outside plant applications. Its feature set matches other Universal Transport System products, allowing rich VLAN- or portbased prioritization, multiple class of service queues, and SNMP, TL1 or GUI-based management. The UTS810 can be deployed point-to-point, and is also fully integrated with the UTX8212 multi-service cross-connect for point-to-multipoint applications. Ceterus Networks is displaying the UTS810 Ethernet Access Platform at Telecom '05, in the Venetian Convention Center, Las Vegas, October 24-27th. About Ceterus Networks Contacts: Tony Katsulos |
