ISA Ethernet 10/100/1000 Access modules together with ISA Packet Ring empower
OMSN portfolio to offer telecom carriers and service providers – be established on new
entrants - the powerful solution to build IP-enabled optical networks.
OMSN’s integrated TDM and Packet capabilities enable Service Providers to achieve
the optimal balance between new competitive service offerings and traditional revenue-
generating services.
By only incremental investments OMSN enhance transport networks with new data
service support functions to augment overall network utility. World-class Metro
Ethernet service delivery can be therefore realized by leveraging on the existing
dominant SDH transport infrastructure at minimal
cost..
