Press ReleaseZhone Announces Newest Member of the IMACS Product Family, the IMACS 200Integrated Solution for Advanced Voice and Data Applications
Oakland, CA — June 22, 2006 —
Zhone Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZHNE), the first company dedicated to
building total-delivery solutions for voice, data and content services
worldwide, announced today the introduction of the IMACS 200 to it’s existing
IMACS product line.
Optimized for the unique needs of electric utilities, the IMACS 200 system
supports a wide range of specialty traffic, including transmission line
protection control (EIA-232 electrical and IEEE C37.94 optical), SCADA,
surveillance video, substation automation and alarms, radio, Ethernet and
telephony.
The IMACS 200 system offers a powerful array of integrated network diagnostic
and fault isolation capabilities. These include Bit Error Rate Testers, test
tone and signaling state generation, digital and analog loop back-support, and
remote configuration and control. IMACS 200 meets stringent standards
criteria, such as IEEE 1613, RoHS, and CE, which means it can be deployed
anywhere in the network.
Optimized for electrical utility sub-station applications, the IMACS 200
supports the latest IEEE C37.94 standard for data over fiber that is so
critical to the secure operation of the electrical grid. Zhone's IMACS 200
can be deployed in harsh environments where conventional communications
devices would not survive. Its smaller size and lower price points establish a
new competitive benchmark. And its commonality with the Zhone IMACS family
means minimal training and familiarization for existing IMACS customers.
"The concept of an integrated one box solution for advanced voice and
data applications began with the introduction of the IMACS," said Joe
Fortin, associate vice president of Zhone's TDM products group. "With
more than 80,000 systems deployed worldwide, the IMACS is an established
leader in the access marketplace. The IMACS 200 extends that tradition with an
integrated solution optimized to economically address smaller port size
applications."
An array of the most popular interfaces and features from the IMACS has been
bundled into a small 2U chassis providing the ultimate in ease of
installation. However, small in size, does not mean small in feature content.
Interfaces ranging from legacy RS-232, V.35, plus 2 and 4 wire analog voice,
as well as the more modern Ethernet and C37.94 optical are all supported from
the same access device, along with a flexible cross connect fabric for maximum
use of existing T1 facilities.
Reliable communications are vital to any organization. The IMACS 200 addresses
this need while providing compact size, low cost, and a high level of voice
and data integration. This makes it an ideal choice for providing a variety of
services to small end points and remote locations in any modern
telecommunications network. Related Information About Zhone Technologies
