Multi-service capabilities from a single platform.

•Lowers your cost per port through increased hardware integration

•Shrinks the equipment footprint by more than 33% over previous Stinger solutions (50% versus other vendors’ solutions)

•Reduces the need to subtend multiple DSLAMs, translating to fewer ports in the aggregation network

Lightning-fast switching capacity—Traffic speed is critically important to the quality delivery of your business and consumer-oriented multimedia services. By providing the bandwidth needed to support increased subscriber densities, the Stinger FS+ more than quadruples its previous performance levels to real data forwarding throughput up to 7.2 Gbps. With Gigabit Ethernet and OC- 12 bandwidth to the backbone and enhancements such as IP multicast, the new Stinger solution enables you to offer high-speed video and data delivery over DSL.

Some DSL vendors promote backplane capacity figures as a measure of their DSLAM’s performance. In reality, switching performance is a factor by which consumable bandwidth should be measured, since this is the true determinant of how fast the platform can forward traffic. The Stinger FS+ utilizes multiple high performance, minimum delay, redundant ATM and IP switching fabrics for supporting the highest speed network application requirements of today. Streaming media applications such as video and audio require constant data flow, greatly upping the performance ante for edge aggregation devices. The FS+ high speed switching fabric is up to the task-built to handle the requirements of next generation, high performance services over DSL.

New, intelligent IP Services modules—Stinger now offers intelligent IP services capabilities and a complement of end-to-end subscriber solutions. By utilizing the latest in Stinger’s advanced ATM capabilities and intelligent IP services, you can cost-effectively and efficiently deploy more business class and residential multimedia services. You can offer your customers everything from broadband voice and data to broadcast and on-demand video capabilities today.

IP intelligence at the network edge also simplifies subscriber VC management and reduces the number of network elements. It enables you to:

•Better utilize your WAN links via edge routing

•Improve network robustness with distributed routing

•Increase your network security

•Add to your network design flexibility

QoS and reliability from blending IP and ATM—By bringing together both IP and ATM switching on all ports, the Stinger FS+ enhances the overall QoS by enabling the fastest local switching between subscriber ports. Also, high-performancetrunk-to-trunk switching means you can star and/or daisy-chain subtending multiple systems in support for over 31,000 xDSL ports in a single switching group. As a result, the Stinger FS+ enables not only migration from traditional telephony, but the highest performance, most redundant interconnections (whether through gigabit or ATM interfaces) for local and long distance data, voice and video services. This level of built-in redundancy and reliability means that you can now offer advanced IP services, including VPN and interactive multimedia services, with complete confidence.
