Turin Networks Announces New Family of Economical Multiservice Ethernet Access Products Jointly Developed with Motorola

New solutions optimized for delivering both TDM and carrier-class Ethernet services to small and medium-sized businesses

ATLANTA (SUPERCOMM) - June 2, 2003
- Turin Networks, Inc., a leading developer and supplier of multiservice transport platforms today introduced a new family of multiservice Ethernet access products designed to enable service providers to deliver both traditional TDM and next-generation broadband Ethernet services more cost-effectively to small and medium sized business (SMB) customers. Co-developed by Turin Networks and Motorola in an endeavor that builds upon the successful OEM relationship established between the two companies in May of 2002, the new Multiservice Enterprise Access (MEA) product family includes flexible products for the customer premises as well as headend facilities.

Built with simplicity and cost-effectiveness in mind, the MEA product family complements Turin's flagship Traverse® Multiservice Transport Platform by extending the ability to combine voice and data on the same fiber at the network edge, and thereby eliminating the need to aggregate different traffic types using separate access platforms.

"The MEA product family is the first in the industry optimized for both T1/E1 TDM access and carrier grade Ethernet services" said John Webley, CEO and founder, Turin Networks. "With Motorola as our partner, we expect the leading price points of the MEA to drive the deployment of carrier class Ethernet services in the first mile (EFM)."

Showcased by Turin for the first time at SUPERCOMM 2003 (June 2-5 Georgia World Congress Center, Booth #12441), the MEA product family ranges from a low cost multiservice CPE device, the MEA 120, to a scalable service aggregation solution using either the MEA 240, or the Traverse Multiservice Transport Platform.
