ATLANTA, GA, -- Aura Networks, Inc., a leading supplier of optical Ethernet solutions for the metropolitan area, announced today its FirstLight initiative to incorporate time division multiplexing (TDM) and optical packet-based network access systems into a unified, manageable carrier offering. The solution will allow service providers to simplify metropolitan voice and data networks while decreasing equipment and deployment costs. Products in the family are expected to enter beta testing in late 2001. The FirstLight architecture consists of four main elements:
Carrier-class, fault-tolerant access, switching, concentration and management architecture
Extensive management advantages of the patent pending Stealth IP(TM) technology for TDM
Integrated TDM and packet-based network traffic to minimize complex QoS management OSS nd OAM&P attributes
The FirstLight architecture specifically addresses the preferences of end-user customers to have their voice and high-speed data services delivered by a single service provider. It also allows the new breed of carrier that is delivering broadband optical Ethernet services to compete for the revenue-generating TDM services (i.e., voice and video) without major investments in a costly voice infrastructure.
