Wallingford, CT (USA) – DNE Technologies, a provider of voice and data communication solutions, announces the release of its new TAC-200 and TAC-300 Tactical ATM Concentrators, which economically concentrate voice, data, and video onto an ATM network. Both models offer a unique selection of tactical ATM interfaces, including a Serial WAN interface, and a TRI-TAC CDI/Serial Interface. In addition, secure compressed voice interfaces are being developed for these units. Both the TAC-200 and TAC-300 models offer a broad selection of standard interfaces, including LAN, video, Ethernet, PBX, Native ATM, and circuit emulation. The TAC-200 outputs at T1/E1 speeds, and the TAC-300 offers speeds up to OC-3/STM-1. The Serial WAN interface version, offering serial data rates up to 8,192 kbps, will be the first tactical interface to be incorporated, and will be available for beta testing in June, 2000.
The TAC-200 and TAC-300 ATM Concentrators are designed to allow "legacy" Department of Defense (DoD) equipment access to today's modern networks. They permit an affordable transition toward end-to-end ATM networking while retaining critical application features. The T1/E1 TAC-200 can easily be upgraded in the field to a TAC-300 unit with
OC-3/STM-1 rates by installing a new software configuration and high-speed interface cards.
The DNE TAC-200 and TAC-300 feature native ATM cell switching, PVC/ S-PVC/ SVC connection flexibility, analog and digital voice support, virtual LAN access, and data router access. They also support Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Constant Bit Rate (CBR) ATM Services. Custom circuits can be configured to pass AAL5 traffic at speeds approaching 100 Mbps.
Option cards for the TAC-200 and TAC-300 include a broad set of commercial interfaces, plus DNE's unique tactical option cards, which include Serial WAN Interface, which will be available shortly, and a TRI-TAC CDI/Serial Interface, which is expected to be available in November. The secure compressed voice cards, which are currently in development, will compress encrypted voice and will be available in digital T1, E1, or analog POTS formats.
DNE Technologies, Inc. Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Charles F. Reese, said, "For the past few years, the DoD has been migrating towards COTS technologies, while still using a large amount of unique legacy equipment. The TAC-200 and TAC-300 are designed to interface the legacy tactical equipment with the new technologies, allowing an economical use of existing hardware, communication at serial, T1/E1 or OC-3/STM-1 speeds, and access to an ATM network."
Product Marketing Manager Peter Gladis added, "DNE's new tactical interfaces provide a great deal of flexibility to the user and will enhance the use of ATM in the tactical environment." He added, "A wide variety of tactical traffic, including CDI and compressed secure communications, will now be able to be transmitted efficiently over existing ATM networks."
Both the TAC-200 and TAC-300 are fully compatible with DNE's AN/FCC-100 multiplexers and can address numerous remote data access applications. They can also be used in conjunction with DNE's CV2048 NRZ/CDI Converter line, and the DNE ISDN family of products.
