IP DSLAM

The importance of Broadband IP Access has been demonstrated by the year-after-year increase of new and innovative Internet, Voice, and Video applications. The adoption of IP gives service providers much more flexibility and efficiency than traditional networks comprised of various technologies such as frame relay, ATM, and TDM.

IP DSLAMs offer advantages over traditional technologies such as increased efficiency, faster speeds, and improved management. For example, they reduce the complexity of data format conversion, solve traffic congestion problems with high-speed, non-blocking Ethernet switching technology, and also provide a good mechanism for video multicasting applications, such as IGMP snooping. Thus, by eliminating protocol transformation over the access network, Telco operators have an alternative method to deploy a more cost effective Ethernet infrastructure from metro to core networks.

ZyXEL's IP Express IP-based DSLAMs terminate and convert ATM traffic directly into an Ethernet environment. The IP Express® family covers a wide range of Central and Remote IP DSLAMs well suited for services with different deployment scales and requirements.
