Path 1 Network Technologies and Axiowave Networks have formed a strategic partnership to enable service providers to offer ATM-Grade, point-to-point and extremely low worst-case latency and jitter guarantees to their customers under all network traffic conditions. The companies will collaborate on marketing and sales activities.
Path 1 offers a Video over IP gateways featuring the ability to seamlessly switch between transmission and reception of video using the same unit. This reduces the equipment needed to implement two-way compressed or uncompressed video movement by a factor of two, while ensuring very low latency.
Axiowave Networks supplies core/metro network routers designed for services such as Toll-Quality VoIP, ATM-Grade IP-VPNs and ATM-Grade transit. http://www.axiowave.comhttp://www.path1.com
- Path 1's Cx1000 Video Gateway uses embedded processors and patent-pending algorithms to shield the video signals from severe network impairments and preserve the broadcast-quality video at standard definition, High Definition and uncompressed video at speeds up to 270 Mbps. The gateway handles issues like significant delay, jitter, packet loss, out-of-order packets and error recovery.
- Axiowave's core/metro routing platform leverages a unique switching and queuing architecture designed for carving out bandwidth among four classes of service (ATM-CBR, VBR-rt, VBR-nRT, and best effort). The platform uses ASICs and FPGAs. The company claims it can increase the utilization of IP egress trunks to 90%, including a high percentage (90+%) in the presence of oversubscribed best-effort traffic. As with ATM, unused bandwidth from any service running on the platform can be dynamically distributed to other services with burstable options. Examples of premium IP services could include, too-grade VoIP, ATM-grade IP VPNs, wireless voice, broadcast video, etc.
