Telco Systems to Power ATMC’s 3G Wireless Backhaul Network

FOXBORO, MA — October 27, 2009 — Telco Systems a BATM company (LSE: BVC) and a leading provider of Carrier Ethernet access solutions, has announced that ATMC Wireless has installed the Company’s T-Metro 200 multi-service platform with OC3 aggregation and T-Marc 254 demarcation devices to backhaul 3G cell traffic over their Metro Ethernet packet-based network.

The T-Metro can emulate 84 T1 unstructured channels multiplexed on a single OC-3 interface. The T-Marc 254 offers four T1 ports that support circuit emulation technology. Circuit emulation represents a cost effective option which enables providers to reduce capital expenditures by leveraging existing circuit-based investments to provide a migration to emerging packet based networks. By backhauling multiple T1 onto Ethernet, providers can also cut operating costs while by minimizing leased line services.

“Telco Systems’ Circuit Emulation over Ethernet backhaul solution enables ATMC to quickly deliver both TDM and Ethernet feeds to cell sites, while meeting the stringent quality requirements of backhauling voice traffic. This solution enabled us to leverage our Metro Ethernet network at a fraction of the cost of SONET and other alternatives”, said Clint Berry, VP of Network Operations at ATMC.

"ATMC is an excellent example of how a carrier can secure new business utilizing CES," stated Steven Curtis, senior vice president of sale and service at Telco Systems. "We look forward to addressing the unique needs of customers like ATMC, which will continue to shape our wireless backhaul strategy going forward.”
