Atoga Systems' OAR 5i optimized for packet and TDM services

May 7, 2001
May 7, 2001--Atoga Systems, Inc., a provider of intelligent wave division multiplexing (WDM) solutions using tunable lasers, announced an upgrade on its first product, Optical Application Router 5 (OAR 5), that enables service providers to simultaneously provision routed Internet Protocol (IP), Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and tunable optical wavelength services.

Atoga Systems, Inc., a provider of intelligent wave division multiplexing (WDM) solutions using tunable lasers, announced an upgrade on its first product, Optical Application Router 5 (OAR 5), that enables service providers to simultaneously provision routed Internet Protocol (IP), Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and tunable optical wavelength services. Additional high-speed TDM interfaces give the OAR 5i a more robust suite of offerings for the carrier network. Atoga's OAR 5i enables carriers to reap immediate benefits from legacy TDM bandwidth services while gaining a seamless migration path to margin-rich, IP-based services as well as next-generation, dynamic wavelength services.

Atoga's OAR 5i delivers a single IP- and TDM-optimized optical switching platform that permits rapid and converged provisioning of routed IP services, legacy TDM bandwidth services and tunable DWDM wavelength services. This solution eliminates the complexities of multi-box provisioning by tightly integrating the IP, SONET and WDM layers. Its support for "cut-through" provisioning eliminates the single greatest threat to service-provider revenues and profitability -- customer-provisioning delays.

Atoga's applications-aware architecture provides carriers with a migration path from the current predefined, static paths to the dynamic, flexible bandwidth on demand needed for the future. This radically changes the economics of the network and high-bandwidth applications delivery. OAR 5i enables a move from bandwidth as a product towards bandwidth as a parameter for more profitable service offerings.

Among its many features, the OAR 5i provides full equipment and facilities protection, via SONET Unidirectional Path Switched Ring (UPSR) protection at the transport layer and tunable lasers at the DWDM layer. Designed with fault-tolerant data and control paths, the OAR 5i supports carrier-class network availability.

The OAR 5i is scheduled for general availability in the third quarter of this calendar year.
