AAC Product Family Overview

Please Note: As of June 30th, 2007, the complete AAC product line has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase. Please see your sales representative concerning any questions.

AAC Multi-service Access Concentrators simplify networks and minimize recurring WAN access costs. AAC concentrators aggregate services by statistically multiplexing voice, video, and data on a single network connection. In an enterprise with a mid-sized WAN, this can reduce network service expenditures by as much as 30% and deliver a return on investment within six months.

The AAC family offers a flexible, modular architecture, allowing you to choose the most cost-effective service for each application and manage everything from a single platform. Each access concentrator contains slots for Protocol Modules (PM) that determine the traffic type-ATM, Frame Relay, or Ethernet-and Physical Layer Modules (PLM) that determine the physical interface. The broad array of available Protocol and Physical Layer Modules, meets the needs of a variety of customers, including enterprise, service providers, government, and military.

The AAC family consists of three models to deliver a full range of access options at a variety of price points, plus a graphical management application for ease of configuration and maintenance.

AAC-3®

The AAC-3 offers the highest levels of connectivity and scalability, supporting speeds ranging from T1/E1 to OC-3/STM-1. Its modular 8-slot chassis makes it an ideal hubbing device for enterprise networks or a port fan-out device for service distribution.

AAC-2™

The AAC-2 provides economical integration of services over public and private networks at speeds ranging from T1/E1 to OC-3/STM-1. Its smaller 4-slot chassis makes it suitable for mid-sized locations that need to connect voice, video, and data traffic with the WAN.

CellSMART™ 200

The CellSMART 200 is ideal for mid- to high-speed data applications, offering NxT1/E1 access using Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA). The series includes options for V.35, HSSI, Ethernet, and OC-3 user ports. It uses the same 4-slot chassis as the AAC-2.
