Additionally, the company said the Telliant 5000 also has been made a little more dense, supporting up to 456 T1/E1 ports and including three new OC-12c/STM4 ATM modules.
The addition of support for layer 3 services comes as a direct result of the company’s acquisition of AccessLAN, said Ryan Koontz, director of marketing for AFC.
In the next few months, the company will begin moving toward a DSL video solution geared toward its traditional independent telco market. Though AFC isn’t tipping its hand just yet, the company likely will take an approach that emphasizes a decentralized architecture.
“A centralized approach really won’t scale when it comes to deploying new services,” Koontz said.
