Iceland Telecom has signed up Fore Systems to build a national ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network aimed at businesses throughout the country. Fore will piggy-back the service on the existing fibre-optic-based frame relay network which already...
Frame relay and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) are complementary rather than competitive technologies, according to a panel of experts at the Frame Relay Forum at Supercomm '99 in Atlanta. The research predicts the frame relay services market...
The first phase of the installation will be to replace the analogue video network at 180 stations and replace it with a digital system from CellStack, formerly K-Net R&D, based entirely on asynchronous transfer mode (ATM).
We might ask: 'Could you leave any mention of ATM [asynchronous transfer mode] out of this research? It's long been rumoured that some apparently independent analysts are less than impartial when it comes to writing about the vendors who pay for...
In short, this pipe is fat, fast and cheap, leading to rumors that it may be the packet protocol to push Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and its circuit-switched cronies out of their exclusive oasis they call the WAN.
Are we on the verge of a step-change in the quality of networking, a change that will put what we've come to expect from the likes of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Frame Relay and all-IP to shame?
