This chapter introduces the JetFusion
™ 2004, 2008, 2104, and 2108 integrated 
access devices (IADs) and describes their hardware and software.
As competition in the telecommunications market intensifies, carriers find 
themselves under growing pressure to reduce network costs and deliver 
differentiated, highly competitive services. In response to this challenge, 
Paradyne provides a family of IADs that incorporates the capabilities of 
multiple networking devices capable of supporting ATM and multiple 
applications such as the integration of voice/data and high-speed internet 
access. By consolidating multiple network devices, converging multiple 
services, and moving intelligence to the network’s edge, JetFusion IADs 
lower requirements for capital equipment, minimize operational expenditures, 
and maximize carriers’ profits. Using JetFusion IADs to integrate legacy 
networks into evolving infrastructures, service providers can now also enable 
budget-constrained customers to leverage the power of wide-area 
communications for competitive advantage. In particular, these new services 
allow SMBs, often lacking the resources to install and manage multiple 
communications devices, to compete effectively with their larger counterparts 
in the global marketplace.
The JetFusion IADs are access devices that terminate a DSL-based service, 
and provide the end user with the ability to send and receive both voice calls 
and data transmissions via a single connection. The connection may be either 
ADSL or G.SHDSL. Models are equipped with up to eight voice ports and an 
Ethernet interface with integrated routing protocols and functionality. 
Two versions of these IADs are offered: a base version that provides support 
for VoATM only and an “s” version that provides all the features of the base 
model plus support for MGCP and SIP. The built-in flexibility of the 
JetFusion IADs, supporting emerging protocols such as MGCP and SIP, 
enables the IAD to evolve with the network, and provides an easily managed, 
cost-effective migration to VoIP.
 
The “s” version of the JetFusion 2004, 2008, 
2104, or 2108 provides a single unit solution that can support VoATM and 
VoIP applications in a single unit. This provides the user with CPE 
investment protection, reduced inventory and training requirements, as well as 
a built-in migration path from VoATM to VoIP by a simple reconfiguration of 
the unit. No costly truck rolls or forklift upgrades are required.
