Bayly Communications' OMNIRoute Smooths Transition from Circuit-Based to Packet-Based Technologies

increased bandwidth demands, manage hybrid networks while reducing costs ~

TORONTO, ON - December 10, 2003 - Bayly Communications Inc. (bayly.com), a leading manufacturer of network access and transmission products for worldwide telecommunications markets, has released its OMNIRoute Multi-scalable Router, designed to help network operators handle increased bandwidth demands without incurring additional costs.

Available now, OMNIRoute provides 1 to 4 T1 or E1 WAN ports with a unique add/drop capability. The number of WAN ports can be scaled to support both the current application and future expansion needs. Additional hardware is not needed when WAN ports are added. The add/drop capability is used to support hybrid IP and TDM networks. Both technologies can share the same T1/E1 facilities, enabling legacy TDM networks to carry IP traffic.

"By offering router products, Bayly can address the shift from circuit-based to packet-based technologies and help network operators respond to ever-increasing demands to transport higher volumes of data," says Gary Johnson, Bayly's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "At the same time, we can help them lower costs by utilizing existing network infrastructure more effectively."

Networks have traditionally been built using Time Division Multiplex (TDM) technology (TDM is a circuit-based technology that, while good for voice transmission, is not efficient for data transmission). Voice networks are now emerging to take advantage of the efficiencies of packet-based Voice over IP (VoIP).

"Network operators need to support increasing bandwidth requirements, while at the same time maintaining or reducing bandwidth costs," adds Johnson. "They are also continuing to run hybrid networks as they support legacy equipment."

OMNIRoute features up to four software-keyed T1/E1 WAN ports to provide seamless expansion and a small footprint for flexible deployment options.

OMNIRoute's Rich Operating System offers sophisticated capabilities including NxT1 or E1 bonding, advanced routing, NAT, DHCP and VLAN forwarding. Industry-recognized Command Line Interface provides a familiar configuration and troubleshooting environment. Integrated CSU/DSU lowers operating costs and facilitates deployment.
