ATM - Fiber to the Building/Curb

For integration of TDM voice, LAN and data services at the building level, RAD's ACE-2002, multiservice access concentrators and ATM NTUs, deployed in the building POP, provides standard Circuit Emulation Services (CES) for up to 12E1/T1 lines (up to 20 E1/T1 lines by mid-2002) for multiple office PBX connectivity. The ACE-2002 multiservice access concentrators and ATM NTUs connect the building's ATM switch to the carrier's network over an STM-1/OC-3 or STM-4/OC-12 fiber link.
