Technical Details: GTMI has established a national backbone which operates as a fully-meshed network operating at DS-3 speeds, and interconnecting, or "peering" with several other networks at undisclosed private peering points. Multiple Lucent 5E12 switches, capable of processing data using multiple protocols including Internet (IP) Protocol, will route the traffic through the network. Dr. Robert Elliot, Chief Technology Officer, was quoted as saying, "We are excited about employing the Lucent 5E12 switches in the new network architecture. It just proves that IP telephony is becoming a reality."
Could someone more clued in on Lucent switches comment on this? I went to Lucent's web site and did a search for 5E12 and it returned nothing. I found some stuff on 5E11, which apparently is a new software release for the 5ESS-2000 switch. Bradley
