Patton Ships 8-Mbps Bonded T1/E1 Inverse Mux for Next-Generation Networks over TDM
August 14, 2007
Employing T1/E1 bonding with large/jumbo Ethernet frames, the IPLink™ Model 2888 Inverse Mux creates a protocol-transparent, 8-Mbps Ethernet-over-T1/E1 link, that leverages existing TDM lines to build NGNs for high-speed services.

GAITHERSBURG, MD: Patton Electronics–the industry leader in business-class network access, connectivity, and Voice-over-IP equipment–is now shipping their 8-Mbps Ethernet-over-T1/E1 Inverse Multiplexer that uses T1/E1 bonding with large/jumbo frames to prolong the useful life of existing TDM infrastructure and accelerate transition to next-generation networks (NGNs).
Featuring dual gigabit Ethernet ports that support large/jumbo Ethernet frames, the IPLink™ Model 2888 Inverse Mux– announced 12 June–bonds up to 4 T1/E1s for a protocol-transparent channel of up to 8 Mbps.
“Forget the fiber,” said Joseph Gomez, product manager. “Why make costly infrastructure upgrades when you can use today’s TDM network to deliver tomorrow’s high-speed services?”
The IPLink™ Model 2888 addresses key challenges that face carriers and service providers in the migration to NGNs. Patton’s Inverse Mux leverages existing TDM circuits to:
- Seamlessly interconnect MPLS/VPLS next-generation networks (NGNs), while avoiding the security issues associated with MPLS.
- Transparently backhaul broadband traffic from remote POPs (wiMAX base stations, IpDSLAMs) and network peering points (MPLS routers).
- Deliver high-speed next-generation network access for such bandwidth-hungry subscriber applications as streaming music and IPTV.
“Our solution decouples the infrastructure from the transport technology,” Gomez added.” All the next-generation protocols—including MPLS with stacked labels—can surf transparently across the old TDM network. We’re the only manufacturer with the right recipe. Plus, it’s extremely cost-effective.”
Patton’s inverse mux delivers 1.5 to 8 Mbps over 1 to 4 fractional nx64 T1/E1s along with a unique mix of high-end features that includes VLAN-based active QoS, and CORBA management plane.
The Model 2888 employs self-healing multi-link PPP to deliver a resilient, load-balanced connection that stays up – even with multiple failures in the underlying TDM circuits.
Dual gig-Ethernet ports support jumbo Ethernet frames for complete transparency of all (bridged or routed) protocols.
Two-packs of the 4-E1 version list for just $3970. Now through 15 October 2007, Patton's Prime Mover Advantage Promotion offers 30% off any IPLink™ Inverse Mux order.
