Packet processors meet latest TDM specs
The ZL50111 family of TDM-over-IP packet processors are the first devices to meet the protocols outlined in the industry's newest recommendation for TDM circuit transmission over packet networks.
Packet processors unite US and Korean designs
Four equipment manufacturers in the USA and Korea are developing a range of networking equipment based on the ZL50111 family of TDM-over-IP packet processors.
The three-chip ZL50111 series is standards-compliant and allows TDM-to-IP/Ethernet access systems to have improved performance and reduced cost, size, and power consumption too.
Thanks to the rising volumes of IP data traffic, service providers are stepping up investments in metro Ethernet packet networks, which often feature high-speed IP/Ethernet links to customer sites.
Consequently, there's growing demand for a new class of network edge equipment with TDM-to-IP/Ethernet conversion capabilities, or CESoP, which lowers costs by allowing less expensive Ethernet networks
