Turin's Traverse® 2000 Enables International
Gateway and Ethernet Transport Services at the telx SuperNodeSM
NEW YORK, NY AND PETALUMA, CA., April 23, 2004 - Turin Networks, a leading developer and supplier of multiservice
transport platforms for telecommunications carriers, and telx,
New York's first and largest core interconnection facility,
announced today the addition of two new offerings to the telx
suite of network interconnection services, enabled by the telx
Brilliant PlatformSM. These expanded capabilities, combining
Turin's Traverse® 2000 Multiservice Transport Platform
with telx's interconnection expertise and carrier reach, make
the process of managing global broadband traffic easier and
more affordable for service providers.
First, the telx Brilliant Platform provides international gateway
services specifically tailored to international service providers
and those wanting to extend their reach globally. This Platform
provides seamless translation of a wide range of international
synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) interfaces to the North
American synchronous optical network (SONET) counterpart, and
vice versa. Bi-directional interface conversions supported include
Optical Carrier-48 (OC-48) to Synchronous Transfer Mode-16 (STM-16),
OC-12 to STM-4, OC-3 to STM-1, and DS3 to E3. Also available
as an optional service are bi-directional virtual cross-connecting
and mapping of SONET STS-1/Nc framed payloads to SDH VC-3 or
VC-4 structures as well as VT1.5/2 to VC-11/12.
Second, the telx Brilliant Platform's ethernet transport services
are ideally suited for service providers and large enterprises
requiring carrier-class, IP-centric connectivity for applications
such as Ethernet-based private lines, transparent LAN services
and Internet access, as well as applications with more stringent
latency and QoS requirements such as VoIP and IP Video. Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections are available up to
full wire-speed rates. As a carrier-class offering, the telx
Brilliant Platform services are designed to support the highest
levels of reliability, manageability and bandwidth efficiency.
"The Brilliant Platform is truly a global multiservice
transport and switching platform - the only one of its kind
in the industry" said Hunter Newby, telx's Chief Strategy Officer.
"This technology is part of telx's continuing effort to create
and provide the highest quality innovations in interconnection
technology to drive our customers' business."
"Turin
helps industry thought leaders like telx simplify complex transport
networks and deliver both new and traditional services more
efficiently" said John Webley, president and CEO, Turin Networks.
"We are pleased to partner with telx to improve their ability
to offer new International Gateway and Ethernet Transport services."
