The new AT-iMG646BD provides efficient delivery of IP Triple Play Services
Allied Telesyn, the global end-to-end networking solutions vendor, today announced the availability of its intelligent Multiservice Gateway, the AT-iMG646BD, which offers unique IP/Ethernet networking features to optimise operators’ delivery of interactive multi-media services to customers.
With a bi-directional optical interface over a single fibre connection, the AT-iMG646BD allows efficient use of fibre for new infrastructure and doubling of capacity for existing dual fibre installations. The increase in density of fibre at aggregation points delivers economies of scale in cabinet space and cost of deployment. Quality of Service (QoS) is provided within the AT-iMG646BD through ISO layer 2 and 3 prioritisation techniques including priority tagging with IEEE 802.1p as well as Type of Service (ToS).
“The AT-iMG646BD ‘snoops’ IGMP packets in-transit, thus allowing simultaneous delivery of different multicast transmissions such as different movies or TV channels. This results in high quality, high-bandwidth multiple video streaming without impacting Internet browsing or IP Telephony, whilst delivering the fast channel change that users expect from video services. MPEG video service management and diagnosis is possible using troubleshooting techniques. Furthermore, video quality can be monitored using the unique MPEG stream monitoring tool,” said Jason Phoon, Senior Manager for Product Marketing with Allied Telesyn.
The AT-iMG646BD offers a 4 FXS interface leveraging Voice over IP (VoIP) protocols such as H.323, SIP and MGCP and offering the greatest number of FXS ports of Allied Telesyn’s entire iMG range to date. VoIP interoperability has been established with major softswitch vendors. The AT-iMG646BD allows the connection of modems and faxes to voice interfaces for other business applications in SoHo environments. Providing extensive support for per-port rate-limiting that enables service providers to deliver tiered data services catering for the wide spectrum of end-customer profiles, the AT-iMG646BD also has an integral Stateful Inspection Firewall with NAT, Denial of Service (DoS) and an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) with blocking for protecting end-customer networks.
Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) has never been easier than with the AT-iMG646BD. For installers and builders, a complete fibre splicing kit with a passive faceplate for hiding the fibre termination is available to allow for easy installation, maintenance and replacement using Plug & Play optical connections. User intervention is limited to simply sliding in the gateway in the pre-installed slot containing the terminated fibre.
With the Zero Touch Configurator (ZTC) software platform, the Allied Telesyn AT-iMG646BD can be provisioned and managed remotely. The Zero Touch Configurator is a distributed configuration system based on the industry’s standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) database architecture. This provides secure authentication and registration plus intelligent, automatic configuration of remote iMG units. Its XML-based structure enables seamless integration with service providers’ existing Operations Support Systems (OSS) platforms.
The Allied Telesyn AT-iMG646BD is available for order now at all Allied Telesyn’s distributors and resellers (www.alliedtelesyn.sg/en-sg/corpinfo/reseller.asp)
