Marconi Plays Key Role in ATM-Over-Satellite Experimental Network

Overview At the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C., electronics engineers were given the assignment of developing a satellite communications network that offers small-deck vessels at sea the same access to important military data that large-deck combatants already have. Small-deck vessels include frigates, destroyers and submarines with limited space for communications antennas. In Pittsburgh, Marconi, recognized as the first company to commercialize ATM technology, increased its ASX ATM backbone switching capacity to 622 Mbps over an OC-12c terrestrial network.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: The right technology for the right job

Power cables are not physically symmetrical and are therefore very effective antennas. Extensive laboratory trials have proven this technology, and testing with customers is at an early stage. They radiate energy from high-speed data signals which...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
