RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – Hatteras Networks,
the global leader in multi-service Ethernet solutions for enterprise
access services and next-generation mobile backhaul, announced today
its new HN500 Series customer premise equipment (CPE) for enabling
high-performance, reliable and cost-effective Ethernet over Time
Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Ethernet over NxT1/E1 services. With
the carrier-class HN500 Series, carriers can quickly bond up to
eight T1/E1 signals over a single Ethernet connection and provide
services of up to 12 and 16 Mbps respectively.
“Carriers need to be able to
expand the types of services they can offer or customers they can
support without the complexity of operating systems from multiple
vendors transporting their various Ethernet service offerings,” said
Erin Dunne, Director of Research Services, Vertical Systems Group.
“They are under tremendous competitive and cost pressure to slash
time to service and deliver a dependable, high-performance service
that minimizes operational deployment costs.”
“With the HN500 Series, we responded to the requests
of carriers who told us that they gain a significant ROI with the
deployment model of our HN400 Ethernet over Copper solution and want
the same advanced functionality and benefits in a product for
Ethernet over TDM services,” said Vijay Raman, Vice-President of
Marketing and Product Management at Hatteras Networks. “With our
new, fully modular, multi-service HN6100 and an expanded, flexible
suite of CPE which includes the HN500 Series, carriers can deploy a
sophisticated, single-vendor solution for all of their Ethernet
access requirements.”
