| Allied Telesyn's Newest Media Converters Enable Routerless
LAN to WAN Connectivity
Network extenders create a new way to derive point-to-point connections over the traditional telco service network easily and economically February 27, 2001- Allied Telesyn International (www.alliedtelesyn.com), a worldwide leader in simplifying IP networking for businesses of all sizes, today announced its innovative solution to the remote access challenge - a complement of network extenders that allow simple, easy point-to-point connectivity across DS3, T1, ISDN and copper lines. Starting at as little as $349, Allied Telesyn's new LAN extenders come in 12 variations for configuration flexibility, and four point-to-point starter kits that combine both provider and subscriber side units in one box. "Allied Telesyn's new family of network extenders brings a simpler way to create site-to-site, point-to-point links over DS3, T1, ISDN, and copper lines," said Jim Berthot, Allied Telesyn's Head of the Americas and Senior Vice-President. "By eliminating the need for costly routers, they streamline the connection, speed-up installation and significantly reduce the cost of implementation." The ease of use and cost-effectiveness of Allied Telesyn's network extenders make them a perfect alternative for branch office, district-wide and cross-campus connectivity. They provide a great solution for corporate to remote branch connection via T1 or ISDN; for front-ending an Allied Telesyn Rapier 24 or other Layer 3 switch's Ethernet ports across a T1 or DS3 circuit; or for remote connectivity to buildings connected by a single pair of copper wires. All of the members of the new extender family are IPacket Technology compliant1 and therefore optimized for IP services. Available now, the extenders carry US list prices from
$349 to $8995; the subscriber/provider kits are $695 to
$2995. The multi-port models are configured in standard
or -48v DC power supply. They all carry Allied Telesyn's
1-year warranty.
