Redux To Demo Converged TDM And Ethernet Over G.SHDSL.bis

Redux Communications will be showing a demonstration of converged TDM and Ethernet over G.SHDSL.bis, powered by Metalink, Nov. 3-7 at NGN 2003 in Boston, booth #216. Redux's CM-160, Legacy over Packet evaluation and ODM system, will be connected to Metalink's Ethernet over G.SHDSL.bis evaluation module. The demonstration will combine, Redux's RS-160, the world's most cost-effective single-chip solution for transporting both E1/T1 and Ethernet services over an Ethernet/IP network, and Metalink's market leading G.SHDSL chip set.

Metalink is a global provider and developer of high performance wireline and wireless broadband communication silicon solutions. Metalink's flexible EoSHDSL architecture allows carrying data rates from 192 Kb per second and up to 3.3 Mb per second over a single copper pair reaching rates of more than 10 Mb per second symmetric by using multi-pairs. Metalink's products comply with G.SHDSL.bis enhanced features of high bit rates support, packetized services enca per secondulation and bonding of multi-pairs.

Redux's RS-160 is a special-purpose wire-speed TDM over Packet traffic processor that enables a single high-speed packet link to be used to transport both data services and circuit-based services thereby eliminating the cost of a dedicated TDM line. The RS-160 is designed for rapid integration into any networking or telephony-switching device, optimizing it for the broadband access market.

Redux's CM-160, can be used for evaluation of the RS-160 or as an ODM system allowing a rapid time-to-market solution for OEM's worldwide.

"As Ethernet based networks and services become a major trend in delivery of business applications, parallel delivery of legacy TDM voice and data applications over the same infrastructure is key for smooth migration towards the all Ethernet paradigm," said Daniel Manor, vice president of marketing for Metalink. "The combination of Metalink's Ethernet over xDSL delivery platforms and Redux's TDM over packet solution provide an ideal solution for system vendors addressing this growing market."

"We are proud to demonstrate the first converged TDM and Ethernet over G.SHDSL.bis solution, with Metalink" states Kobi Samboursky, vice president of business development at Redux. "We believe that the simplicity of this joint solution will provide OEM's world wide with a rapid and low investment solution in a new breed of xDSL access devices that support both Ethernet and legacy equipment."
