ACC Offers Complete Access Solution with New Channelized T1/E1 Interface

ACC challenges the competition with the most aggressively priced

T1/E1 regional office internetworking product available in the market
today

Santa Barbara, Calif. (OCTOBER 23, 1995) -- Advanced Computer
Communications, Inc. (ACC), the worldwide leader in internetworking access
solutions, today expanded its solution set for users seeking T1/E1
connectivity with the introduction of a channelized T1/E1 interface for
its Amazon regional office access router. This new mode of operation
provides channelized support for either T1 (1.544 Mbps) or E1 (2.048
Mbps), and fractional T1/E1 applications.

Channelized T1/E1 provides a cost-effective method of connecting a large
number of remote sites into a central site using leased lines in
situations where they are less expensive than Frame Relay or other
switched access services, such as in urban areas. The Channelized T1/E1
interface reduces the amount of network equipment required at the host
site and increases the reliability of the network. Network managers can
save time and money by having only one device to manage.

"Our Internet connection is our lifeline," explains Mel Marcus, president
of Reliable Data who uses the Amazon with the channelized T1 mode of
operation. "A significant percentage of our user community is on the
Internet, and we need to provide them with cost-effective access to
services. As an Internet provider, the channelized mode of operation is
perfect since we are able to bring new customers on line fast without
additional equipment costs."

Channelized T1/E1 Interface Decreases Network Equipment Costs

The channelized mode of operation uses the same hardware as the ISDN PRI
card announced in late March, 1995. When the channelized mode is selected,
the circuits are permanent and no switching occurs. Each circuit behaves
as a leased line. Circuits can be configured for 56 Kbps, 64 Kbps, or
multiples of 56/64 Kbps operation. ACC's exclusive Express Queuing and
Data Compression algorithms allow up to 256 Kbps of data to be sent across
each B-channel, maximizing throughput.

The Amazon can connect up to 24 (US T1) sites or up to 32 (European E1)
sites through a T1/E1 circuit and a single Primary Rate Interface (PRI)
card. Up to three PRI cards can be housed in a single Amazon supporting up
to 72 (US) or 96 (European) remote sites.

The new channelized T1/E1 interface for the popular Amazon extends ACC's
comprehensive list of connectivity options and provides another avenue of
expansion into the wide area. This interface allows users to expand into
the T1 or E1 market while maintaining the benefits of ACC's exclusive
Bandwidth Optimization features. The channelized T1/E1 interface is SNMP
compatible and is managed in accordance with RFC 1406.

Pricing and Availability

ACC's channelized T1/E1 interface for the Amazon product line is priced at
$3995 and is available now.
