Integrated Photonics Technology (Ipitek) has added the HBR-2502 Digital Transport Multiplexer – built to provide a cost-effective, total converged solution for video, voice and data by managing and expanding a customer’s broadband network – to its Internet Media Transport (IMTRAN) product line.
The HBR-2502 is an optical fiber multiplexing platform that handles both analog and digital video; DS1, DS3 and SONET; and Ethernet and asynchronous data. It maximizes signal flow, eliminating wasted bits to utilize only the amount of required bandwidth for the signal to be transported, the company said.
“How you manage your bandwidth can determine whether or not you make your budgets; whether or not you can provide top quality, reliable services to your customers effectively and efficiently,” said Michael Salour, chairman and CEO of Ipitek. “With video accounting for a 60 percent share of all Internet traffic today, Ipitek’s HBR-2502 is built to ensure that you are fully prepared for the video communications revolution.”
