Enhancement of Titan Family and New Contract in Uruguay
BATM is pleased to announce that it has enhanced the
functionality of its Titan T4 and T5 switches using
software originally intended only for the T6. The new
software allows telecom operators ('telcos') to deploy
these switches to provide their customers IP channels of
varying bandwidth depending upon the tariff they agree to
pay. These features of bandwidth provisioning and
dynamic bandwidth allocation are in increasing demand
from telcos' customers.
BATM is also pleased to announce that it has won its
first significant contract from a telco in Latin America.
The contract, with an initial value of $850,000, is to
provide a telco in Uruguay with T4 routing (layer 3)
switches offering variable bandwidth. Shipment will
begin in 2000, with the majority being supplied next
year. The equipment will be used to provide the
switching for a broadband microwave distribution system
(LMDS) in Montevideo providing fast voice/data lines for
businesses and SOHOs. This contract is also noteworthy
as being the first time BATM's switches are to be used
for a fixed radio system.
Dr Zvi Marom, Chief Executive of BATM, said: 'We are
delighted to be extending our reach both geographically
and in capability. The Uruguay contract builds on our
recent success in adapting the Titan family as switches
for mobile IP systems. It is also encouraging to see
such early take-up of the new Titan functionality. We
believe that our product line will prove attractive for
other service providers using wireless transmission,
particularly LMDS.'
