Zyxel AES 100

Zyxel AES 100 ... traditional ATM infrastructure. New advances in IP networking technologies have been introduced, that have change the landscape of broadband service offerings. ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is the hottest technology for Internet access, it provides broadband data service over existing copper wires without affecting the conventional voice service. Using DMT line coding, the AES-100 supports up to 8M/1.5Mbps downstream, which is more than 140 times faster than an analog modem and 1M/512kbps upstream for Full-Rate/G.lite standard. This asymmetrical performance makes it ideal for bandwidth consuming Internet applications where the downstream traffic is typically much higher than the upstream traffic.

The AES-100 is a powerful and innovative IP-based DSLAM with ADSL ports with a built-in POTS splitter, and it uses an Ethernet port for uplink to a Layer 2/3 switch or a broadband router. The compact design makes the AES-100 a perfect solution for both central office collocation and various MTU (Multiple Tenant Unit) markets. The AES-100 also offers service providers extensive management capabilities. The entire AES-100 is managed using ZyXEL's NetaVista, an element management system (EMS). The information, concerning configuration control, system status, performance index and alarm trap, is forwarded from the AES-100 to the NetaVista, which delivers service providers a "Comprehensive Service Results" report, thus minimizing daily operation costs. The new advances in the AES-100 enable service providers to turn on broadband service to more customers quickly, and at a lower cost than previously possible.
