The company is developing a carrier-class access architecture for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON). The new funding closes a Series B round of $22.1 million and brings the total investment in Salira to $29.1 million. http://www.salira.com/news/releases/020227.html 27-Feb-02 Key features of Salira's architecture for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs) will include Service Level Agreement (SLA) management, real time Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) and remote service creation and subscriber management. The Salira Architecture will support clear channel T1/E1 network access in addition to IP-centric network access at Fast Ethernet speed. The architecture will accommodate any combination of ATM, Frame Relay or TDM voice, each in their native protocol. Salira will also leverage a service abstraction layer in its architecture to support the delivery of premium classes of service, IP VPNs, transparent LANs and MPLS. Further product details on the EPON platform will be disclosed at a later date. Salira's management team includes Dave House (chairman); Herbert Martin (CEO); and Wei Gao (CTO), who is credited with being one of the developers of Nortel Networks' first OC-192/SONET products. The company's technical team also includes Dr. Jian Song, formerly with Nortel's Bell Northern Research unit, and Rick Li, formerly a key architect of Cisco's MGX8850 ATM platform.   No video on this topic yet.. contact us to present your views.
