Turin Networks Launches the Traverse PacketEdge™ 1200, a New Entry
into the Rapidly Growing Ethernet over Copper Market
Yahoo! Finance
05/08/07
Turin Networks, a global provider of metro service edge equipment
for wireline, wireless, MSO and private networks, today announced
the release of the Traverse PacketEdge(TM) 1200 (TPE-1200), a
carrier-class service edge aggregation platform that enables the
delivery of Ethernet VPN services over existing copper access
networks....
According to leading market research firm Vertical
Systems Group, fiber access currently extends to less than 14% of
bus iness
sites in the US.
This "last mile" of the carrier network is dominated by copper
access, and T1 is the most widely used access network technology for
business data connectivity. Using Turin's Traverse PacketEdge 1200,
service providers are able to leverage existing T1 facilities to
deliver new revenue generating Ethernet VPN services to business
customers at rates of up to 12 Mbps.
"The market for sub-10 Mbps Ethernet services over
copper is growing rapidly as businesses increasingly migrate from
legacy Frame Relay and ATM services to Ethernet for data
connectivity," said Rosemary Cochran, principal of Vertical Systems
Group. "We expect the cumulative revenue for sub-10 Mbps Ethernet
services over copper in the US to total $5 billion from 2006-2010.
Versatile, next-generation products like Turin's TPE-1200 make it
possible for service providers to address this large and vastly
underserved market opportunity."
