T-Metro

Modular, Cost-Effective TDM/IP Convergence Solution for Metro Ethernet Rings

Competitive service providers have been successfully delivering Ethernet-based services to their enterprise and residential subscribers for years. The challenge has been, delivering reliable data as well as voice services over an Ethernet-based network. 

Increased bandwidth requirements and integrated voice and specialized services have pushed the industry to respond with residential and enterprise VoIP triple play solutions. While there are many CPE choices available; reliable, economical, and scalable options for metro Ethernet rings are less competitive. 

Telco Systems' T-Metro, modular Gigabit Ethernet metro Ethernet ring solution, was designed for service providers who need the reliability of traditional SONET devices, with switch recovery times as low as 15ms, guaranteed <50ms, and the flexibility to deliver T1/E1 circuits along with Ethernet. 

This carrier-class device offers advanced MPLS/HVPLS enabling emerging and incumbent service providers to protect their existing investments while easily migrating to next-gen services. 

T-Metro delivers features such as uncompromised security, QoS, MPLS/HVPLS, and TDM backhaul with circuit emulation (CES). Its reliable, non-blocking architecture and redundancy features ensure maximum uptime.
