Berkeley specialises in Gigabit Ethernet switching technology, the up-and-coming competitor to ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) in the backbone. ATM equipment vendor, Fore Systems, has acquired Berkeley Networks in a deal worth an estimated £250m.
With an eye on the convergence of voice, data and video, the Prudential has turned to K-Net for an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) network. Another key reason why the company chose to migrate from token ring to a multimedia ATM environment was to...
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).
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.
However, few people have the necessary fibre-optics to their home or office, and service providers have so far based their networks on the rival ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) protocol. Will they continue the traditional rollout of ATM-based ADSL...
Internet reliability might not be perfect but it is good enough for most purposes, Gartner said, citing research showing 89 per cent of organisations that have switched from frame relay or ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) to IP links were...
