In late 1996 Cisco Systems introduced the Cisco 3600 series

family of modular, cost-effective, and high-performance dial

access routers targeted at regional and branch office and

small to medium-sized Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Over

the next two years, the Cisco 3600 series announced further

extensions to the platform with support for Fast Ethernet,

voice/fax over IP, internal digital and analog modems,

high-density asynchronous dial, ATM25/ADSL, and

High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), adding multifunction

capabilities to the initial dial-access solutions.

Now, with the announcement of three new versions of

ATM OC-3 network modules, the Cisco 3600 series further

expands its flexibility as a multifunctional branch office

solution for service provider and enterprise customers. These

new modules add to the broad portfolio of Cisco ATM

Customer Provided Equipment (CPE) and central office

products, that allow branch offices to take advantage of the

higher bandwidth and quality of service (QoS) available with

ATM services. High-speed ATM access on the Cisco 3600

provides cost-effective, value-added, high-speed managed

router services to both enterprise and service provider

customers.

The new ATM OC-3 network modules address the

growing demand for improved ATM QoS features, combined

with the advanced Layer 3 class of service (CoS) capabilities

provided by a router. Users now have the ability with the

Cisco 3600 series to provide robust QoS mechanisms for

prioritization of traffic from legacy and high-speed LANs

over an ATM network. These new network modules allow

the Cisco 3600 series to enter the high-speed ATM access

market by providing solutions that enable ATM broadband

services to fit into many companies communications budgets,

not just the very large corporations. Managers can now

cost-effectively terminate high-speed ATM on the Cisco

3600, providing robust QoS features for applications at the

branch-office LAN such as videoconferencing, distance

learning, video broadcast, and voice/fax over IP over ATM

applications.

The OC-3 ATM network modules developed for the

Cisco 3600 modular access routers provides a single-port

SONET and SDH-based OC-3c/STM-1 interface for

worldwide use. These modules are designed to support the

convergence of data, voice, and video services that allow

customers to migrate existing voice and video traffic onto a

corporate data network for substantial cost savings.
