AES-100 User’s Guide

1.2.2ISP Application

The AES-100 can also be used by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) as an IP DSLAM. The AES-100 terminates all of the ADSL ATM circuits and converts the traffic to IP packets. All IP traffic goes directly to the ISP’s internal Ethernet network, before being routed to the Internet.

1.2.3Compact Design for Limited Space

The AES-100 occupies only 1.5 U of standard Telco rack space. Its compactness is perfect for collocation (installation in a central office) and basement installation. Because the AES-100 has built-in POTS splitters, service providers do not have to allocate extra space for POTS splitter shelves.

1.2.4Scalable Platform for Future Expansion

The flexible design of the AES-100 series allows service providers to start with minimum cost. As the number of users and applications increases additional AES-100s can be added to provide greater bandwidth.
