Research and Markets: 2006 Research Available on Alcatel, Ericsson, Huawei and Other Digital Loop Carrier Products

Business Wire, Nov 30, 2006

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of Digital Loop Carrier product research to their offerings. These reports, written by an objective 3rd party, contain insight and analysis of the product or service strengths and weaknesses, lists buying criteria and how the product or service fares in each category, and a comprehensive table of product or service metrics and specifications. These reports are useful for purchasers who need to evaluate products or as a source of competitive intelligence for vendors.

The following reports are now available:

Alcatel Litespan 1540 (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c46258)

Alcatel's Litespan 1540 is now IP/Ethernet- enabled and ready for triple play, with a new release sporting a 20 Gbps point-to-point non-blocking Ethernet bus and a 24 Gbps switch fabric. Its multiservice features are now much more attractive.

Ericsson Access Hub (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reportinfo.asp?r=354980)

Marconi's Access Hub is a high-density MSAN that has been attractive to alternative network operators, but it failed to catch on in the company's biggest customer, BT, and Marconi has since been acquired by Ericsson, which has a DSLAM of its own.

Huawei HONET UA5000 (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reportinfo.asp?r=354981)

Huawei's HONET UA5000 has evolved from a narrowband access node serving the Chinese market into the leading MSAP in the ETSI region. Growth is continuing despite average port capacity, lingering perception issues, and dwindling cost advantages.

KEYMILE UMUX 1500/1200 (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reportinfo.asp?r=354956)

KEYMILE's UMUX product is a competitive multiservice access platform for ETSI markets, where it has developed a loyal installed base over several years. But in the future, customers will look to its newer IP-based MILEGATE platform.
