General DataComm Brings Its Energy Saving Technology to Its New Low Cost NEBS Certified Dynamic Router

General DataComm, Inc. (GNRD) announced today that it
has released a NEBS Level 3 Certified, extremely low cost router for
use in Carrier, Enterprise and Government networks.
   The New SpectraComm IP Mini Router (SCIP-MR) blade extends the
users' IP networks to remote locations where routed IP networks are
required. SCIP-MR provides connectivity via an integral T1 WAN port,
and provides full dynamic routing capability with support for standard
RIP and OSPF protocols. Enhanced security is supported with secure
shell (SSH) and MD5 authenticated dynamic routing at a fraction of the
cost of typical solutions and uses less than 6 watts of power.
   The SCIP-MR is a rack-mount blade that can be installed in
existing NEBS Level 3 certified SpectraComm 5000 shelf (16 slot) or
2000 (2 slot) shelf. For CPE applications the single slot SpectraComm
1001 or 1002 enclosures are available.
   Remote SCIP-MRs can be managed via IP connection and SMART CLI, an
interactive command line interface that will feel familiar to field
personnel. Added features include auto-prompting for command
arguments, recognition of abbreviated commands, online help and
command line recall. SCIP-MR also supports a File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) Server for downloading upgrades.
   "General DataComm has long been a major supplier of high-quality
access and broadband products for use in Carrier, Enterprise and
Government networks. GDC delivers products that support the most
recent implementations of ADSL2/2+, VoIP, power over Ethernet (PoE),
WiFi, MPLS and Network Security. The new SpectraComm SCIP-MR blade is
the lowest cost dynamic router with extremely low power consumption
for use in carrier central offices, where NEBS Level 3 certification
is required," said George Best, vice president for sales and marketing
at General DataComm.
   Available now, SpectraComm SCIP-MR is another example of General
DataComm's commitment to enhancing its flagship SpectraComm product
line based on application requirements of our service provider and
carrier customers.
