The T-Metro is a feature-rich multiservice access device, designed to increase service provider revenues and deliver a complete portfolio of voice data and video services. The T-Metro family of products supports a wide variety of technologies including Ethernet, Circuit Emulation (CES), MPLS, OAM (operations, administration and maintenance) tools and Hierarchical QoS (H-QoS). The T-Metro provides access to advanced data services such as virtual private LAN services (VPLS), virtual private wire services (VPWS) and IP virtual private network (IP-VPN) services.

In addition, the T-Metro product line enables service providers to carry T1/E1, DS3, and OC-3/STM-1 traffic transparently across the packet switched network (PSN), using various circuit emulation techniques. The TDM traffic is encapsulated in Ethernet or IP frames to emulate the functionality of a TDM circuit, ensuring that all original feature-set is preserved.

The T-Metro’s unique combination of features, technologies and manageability allow service providers to extend the service intelligence to the customer edge. Doing so, the T-Metro allows service providers to offer and maintain advanced SLA offerings to their customers, thus providing them competitive advantage.
