Allied Telesyn Chooses Zarlink CESoP Technology For Multiservice Access Platform Powering "IP Triple Play" Rollout24 October 2005
Zarlink Semiconductor (NYSE/TSX:ZL) today announced that Seattle-based Allied Telesyn is using its CESoP (Circuit Emulation Services over Packet) processor in a multiservice access platform supporting "IP triple play" services.
Allied Telesyn's end-to-end access solution allows network operators to support IP triple play voice, video and data as well as enhanced services, such as VoIP (voice-over-IP), IP video, video-on-demand and business VPNs (virtual private networks), over copper and fiber networks. Using the ZL50110 processor in its iMAP 9700 and miniMAP 9100 platforms, Allied Telesyn's access platform can seamlessly tunnel circuit-switched traffic over an Ethernet network.
For example, faced with cable competitors introducing VoIP services, local exchange carriers can deliver television and interactive applications alongside traditional voice services over an Ethernet infrastructure. In under- serviced areas, municipalities and public utility companies are offering complete residential and T1/E1 business communication services over their own FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) network.
"Network operators are demanding access technologies that fit with their existing infrastructure and have the capability to support today's applications and grow as services evolve," said Jim Holland, vice president, engineering, Allied Telesyn, a global provider of Ethernet/IP access solutions. "During the extended transition to an all-IP infrastructure, Zarlink's CESoP technology, as part of our iMAP platform, allows operators to employ cost-effective Ethernet networks without endangering valued services or requiring end customers to upgrade their equipment."
To address timing and service quality issues, the ZL50110 processor employs hardware and software techniques to ensure sub-millisecond latencies through the device, coupled with highly accurate clock recovery and synchronization. Advanced, on-chip queuing mechanisms minimize the effects of network latency by giving priority to time-sensitive voice and video packets over data traffic in processing queues.
"Operators are moving to a converged packet network, but continued customer demand for revenue-generating circuit-switched services cannot be overlooked," said Bruce Ernhofer, product marketing manager, Zarlink Semiconductor. "As part of Allied Telesyn's access solution, our CESoP technology ensures all traffic types can be supported as part of a complete, carrier-class IP triple play offering."
