Iskra Sistemi Announces Its New SparkLight ADM16 Access Product Family

ROSEVILLE, Calif., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Iskra Sistemi, a developer and provider of process automation, communications and security products announced a new product - the SparkLight ADM16 Next Generation SDH Add/Drop Multiplexer.  

The SparkLight ADM-16 is a compact, high-density STM-16/4/1 next-generation access multiplexer which supports high-speed communications services. By providing a wide variety of interfaces on one common platform, Iskra's SparkLight ADM16 family of products allows service providers to build an effective, flexible, user-friendly communications network. Extremely powerful EoS tools enable a smooth migration from TDM to packet services. VCAT is used to provide flexible bandwidth assignment from 2Mbps to 1000Mbps. LCAS allows for reliable bandwidth-efficient transport of many different packet services. An OTU2 blade allows for OTU2 and STM-64 line interfaces, utilizing P-OTN (Packet Optical Transport Network) technology.

Iskra selected Arrive Technologies' AT4848 System-on-a-Chip as a key component in its new SparkLight ADM16 family of products. Arrive Technologies' AT4848 is a highly integrated and scalable OC-48/STM-16, OC-12/STM-4 or OC-3/STM-1 Multiservice Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) on a chip. "Arrive is proud and excited to partner with Iskra Sistemi in their development efforts of advanced networking products," said Giovanni Cintorrino, Director of Worldwide Sales at Arrive Technologies.
