POPgate™ is an enhanced Internet network access switch for rapidly growing ISPs and telecom operators Combining a cost-effective hardware platform with innovative value-added applications, POPgate empowers service providers to easily offer differentiated services to their dial-up subscribers POPgate is a highly flexible solution that is easy to install, operate and maintain Thanks to POPgate, service providers can increase their revenues, build market share, and maximize network utilization.
Modular Architecture Delivers Superior Flexibility
POPgate consists of a carrier-class, industry-standard 19" x
6U rack-mounted chassis containing up to 21 ETSI-compliant
front-loaded modules Integrated modules include main
cards, interface cards, power supply modules, and up to 15
analog modem and ISDN cards POPgate's advanced modular
design enables easy scalability from a basic 30-port
configuration with a single E1 link (or 24-port with T1), up
to a 480-port configuration A single rack can house multiple
chassis and support over two thousand simultaneous
connections without any performance degradation POPgate's
enhanced design allows easy integration of emerging
capabilities and access technologies, as well as new high
density modules, preserving the service provider's investment
in the long run
High Reliability Minimizes Service Downtime
To maximize service uptime, all integrated POPgate modules
can be inserted or removed while the chassis remains live
and online This "hot swapping" capability ensures that the
replacement or addition of a single board does not necessitate
any interruption in service Incorporating modem redundancy
as well as power supply and main control back up, POPgate
is designed for high reliability with graceful service degradation
and no single point of failure
POPgate Deployment at the Point
of Presence (POP)
POPgate provides
cost-effective
access from the
PSTN to the
Internet, integrating
seamlessly with
industry-leading
routing and LAN
equipment as well
as emerging
services and
technologies.
Enhanced Database Integration Improves Functionality
Advanced integration with standard RADIUS servers enables enhanced capabilities including differentiated services, Virtual Private Networks (VPN) connectivity, and grade-of-service management Based on user-service profiles defined in a database, each connection can receive different attributes, enabling simultaneous provision of differentiated services from the same pool of resources at any POP on the network
Tight Radius Integration Enhances Security
POPgate's tight integration with RADIUS servers provides superior security and authentication for dial-up subsribers
by allowing access based on user name and password, caller
ID, called number, domain (realm), or any combination of these fields (simultaneously or sequentially) These flexible authentication capabilities allow service providers to use the most appropriate validation methods for their billing needs
Differentiated Services Build Market Share
POPgate utilizes caller parameters and user-service profiles
to enable service providers to offer a wide range of differentiated service packages to their customers A service provider can vary the level of service delivered to each and every subscriber (or user group) using a single pool of access

Trang 3resources This capability enables the provider to manage
differentiated services simply and efficiently - without
expanding network infrastructure Offerings can be
differentiated by service applications or types (e.g full services,
registration only, e-mail only), level of service based on
bandwidth allocation (e.g broadband, narrowband), time
of day (e.g full day, evening only), and user-recognition
methods (e.g user name and password, Calling Line
Identification - CLI) POPgate also allows service providers
to offer Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity to
tele-commuting employees of business customers Thanks to
differentiated service offerings, ISPs and carriers can distinguish
themselves from their competitors, generate new revenue
streams, and increase their customer base (For more, see
separate sheet on Differentiated Services)
Built-in Management Enhances
System Performance
Each POPgate system comes with a built-in management
program that monitors and stores traffic reports, test results,
alarms, logs, and other historical and real-time status
information POPgate is compatible with industry-standard
network management systems, and can be managed by a
local PC using serial connection, a remote PC through Telnet,
and/or via a standard manager using SNMP
Value-Added Applications Increase Operator Revenues
POPgate integrates proprietary and third-party value-added
applications that help service providers substantially increase their revenues Sample
applications include:
. Internet Call Waiting: allows callers
to leave messages for, or speak with, online Internet users with a single telephone line
. Online Targeted Advertising and Messaging: allows Internet service
providers to place targeted adverts and messages on customized media banners on any Web page This enables the ISP to overcome the limitation of transparency to their customers, by promoting themselves, inserting information or adverts, and thus creating new sources of revenue
. Dedicated Internet Line:
enables service providers to offload traffic from telephony switches and reach new markets
