  • Juniper Networks' E-series edge routers are ASIC-driven platforms for deploying IP services at the carrier edge. Four E-series models are currently available, with switch fabric options that operate at 5, 10, or 40 Gbps and a range of interfaces.

  • In January 2003, Lucent Technologies was awarded a multi-year contract to supply broadband access equipment in Bell Canada's networks. The deal includes the deployment of Lucent's AnyMedia Access System to enable Bell Canada to expand the availability of its DSL service and wireline voice networks throughout Ontario and Quebec.
