Allied Telesis unveils AT-x900-48FS switch

DQC News Bureau

Bangalore: Allied Telesis has announced the launch of the AT-x900-48FS, a new
advanced layer 3 switch. The high-density device with a low cost per port is
suited for both Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) and Fiber-To-The-Desk (FTTD)
applications and comes with features, including 48 100FX SFP ports and 4 1000FX
SFP uplinks, next generation switching core for wirespeed IPv4 and IPv6 routing.
AT-x900-48FS is delivered with Quality of Service (QoS) features operating at
wirespeed. Along with twin-rate three-level metering, these include flow-based
traffic management with full classification, prioritization, traffic shaping and
minimum/maximum bandwidth profiles.

With front-to-back cooling, Allied AT-x900-48FS switch is only one rack unit
high, making it suitable for demanding, high-density environments where space is
at a premium. Further space savings are provided by the dual hot swappable power
supplies, which eliminate the need for an external redundant power supply. With
support for Ethernet Protected Switched Ring (EPSR), the device provides rapid
failover in ring-based network topologies.

The AT-x900-48FS switch features four hot swappable Gigabit Ethernet uplink
ports that can be aggregated to deliver 4Gbps of bandwidth.

To support the AT-x900-48FS, Allied Telesis is also launching the AT
SPFXBD-LC-13 and AT-SPFXBD-LC-15 100Mbps Bi-Directional SFP modules with
Transmit=1310nm and Receive =1550nm (and visa versa).
