Service Providers Connect Markets with Low Cost Leased Lines
VANCOUVER, B.C.—November , 2003—Nebula Manufacturing Inc., supplier of advanced optical access equipment for Ethernet services, today introduced the VFAST™ Interconnect product family, which includes the VFAST DS3 Ethernet Converter and the VFAST OC3 Ethernet Converter products that provide a low cost interconnection solution for competitive telecommunications service providers.
“While service providers are rapidly covering metro areas with fiber, many business customers are located out of fiber reach,” said Parker Moore, Telus engineering. “Nebula’s Interconnect product gives service providers a way to offer those customers the same cost effective, high bandwidth IP services.”
“As new service providers race to offer competitive local access in Canada, they want to
offer end-to-end Ethernet services to their demanding business customers” said Peter
Schmelcher. “We are excited to be able to help them reach new markets, or off-net
customers with our new, low cost VFAST Interconnect products.”
The VFAST DS3 Ethernet Converter delivers 100 Mbps Ethernet over DS3, providing 45 Mbps data rates over DS3 facilities. The VFAST OC3 Ethernet Converter delivers 100 Mbps Ethernet over OC3, providing 155 Mbps data rates over OC3 facilities. Both products use Nebula’s proven VFAST fiber transport platform and offer
- Highly reliable communication links,
- Integrated management using dedicated management port allows link statusmonitoring,
- Plug and play architecture for non-intrusive deployment, and
- Incremental provisioning for profitable growth.
The VFAST DS3 Converter also offers two levels of prioritization for Quality of Service (QoS) and low latency support voice and video applications.
