The ATM
metropolitan area networks that have served as the test beds for the ADEPT project include the Stanford Cardinal Testbed, BAGNet (Bay Area Gigabit Network) and the Sprint Silicon Valley Test Track (SVTT).
The IEEE 802 Local and
Metropolitan Area Networks Standards Corn mittee (LMSC), at its 11-15 March plenary, approved the formation of a new technical advisory group (TAG) dedicated to addressing radio regulations as they impact the committee's groups developing wireless standards.
Whether connecting two buildings across a parking lot or deploying a complex wireless
metropolitan area network, SPEEDLAN 9000 provides the features needed in a single affordable package.
Metropolitan area networks (MANs)--the link between enterprise networks and long-haul networks, however, remain a bottleneck.
The highly integrated ARROW-2xGE will be used in
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) transport equipment, including Multi Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPP) and add/drop multiplexers.
The IPS device, when strategically deployed, enables the consolidation of traffic from SCSI storage arrays and a Fibre Channel SAN in the branch office and the translation of the combined data streams across a Gigabit Ethernet link to a router that connects to the high speed
Metropolitan Area Network. At the destination, another IPS device enables the data stream to be translated from Gigabit Ethernet to Fibre Channel or SCSI to drive the tape silo.
Enterasys Networks, a provider of enterprise networking solutions, has become a charter principal member of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Alliance (10 GEA), an association formed to both promote 10 Gigabit Ethernet for local area network (LAN),
metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide area network (WAN) markets as well as to support the IEEE 802.3 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards process.
The Cisco/Brocade agreement will facilitate the interconnection of islands of SANs over IP-based
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructures.
tw telecom said that its Business Ethernet service lets businesses take advantage of the same Ethernet technology they use in their Local Area Network and extends it to their
Metropolitan Area Network. Business Ethernet utilises technology that is familiar, flexible and has the ability to combine Quality of Service, restoration and high bandwidth into a single scalable, cost-effective
Metropolitan Area Network solution.
The strong market interest in a low-cost, high-bandwidth technology is leading to a strong inclination of multiple vendors to implement 10 Gigabit Ethernet in enterprise backbone and
metropolitan area network routers and switches.
Demonstrating the growing acceptance of Ethernet as the technology for broadband communications, Extreme Networks' (Nasdaq: EXTR) Gigabit Ethernet switching solutions are powering an innovative
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) that enables Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Internet Content Providers (ICPs) to transmit local Internet traffic at increased speeds and lower costs.
