Networking strategy promises streamlined approach

TrueOne solutions are designed for use in various types of equipment, including carrier-managed home, small office, home office, small and medium business services gateways.

Agere Systems has announced TrueOne: the trusted network.

A first-of-its-kind portfolio of solutions, TrueOne embraces a new and long-term vision - as well as a more streamlined approach - for network service providers to solve their most vexing and critical business and technical challenges.

TrueOne provides the most reliable, intelligent and complete solution suite built specifically for service providers' public, business and home networks compared with any solution available.

TrueOne enables service providers - for the first time ever - to deliver new carrier-grade, real-time reliable services in homes, businesses, and to the mobile user anytime, anywhere on one unified network.

Agere's new solution and software platforms enable service providers to extend their operations and expand their service offerings beyond their traditional core and edge, wireline and wireless network locations, and into homes and businesses.

This extension expands highly sought after market opportunities, creating new, lucrative revenue streams by offering a new class of carrier-managed consumer and business services.

Agere's TrueOne enables service providers to offer more levels of differentiated, high-margin, billable services at various pricing tiers.

TrueOne accomplishes this by enabling remote, on-demand, precise control, monitoring and reconfiguration based on real-time customer needs.

Using TrueOne, service providers improve and manage network operations and service delivery by meeting stringent latency (delay) requirements of voice over IP and video on demand services; reduce capital and operating expenses; increase the average revenue generated per user (ARPU); and improve customer satisfaction and retention with higher-quality service performance and with new service offerings.

Services include Internet Protocol television (IPTV), high definition television (HDTV), video on demand (VOD), digital video recording (DVR), online gaming, videoconferencing, massive local and remote content storage and, of course, carrier-grade voice over IP (VoIP) telephony.

Agere's TrueOne introduction coincides with this week's Globalcomm conference and exhibition.

Agere is demonstrating TrueOne's comprehensive capabilities - never achieved before - on Booth 63062.

"It isn't a secret that service and content providers, along with information technology (IT) vendors, are pushing faster, more feature-rich, and more affordable services into homes and businesses over a converged IP network", said Samir Samhouri, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Networking Division of Agere Systems.

"However, making money on such services depends on the reliability and quality of these services".

"TrueOne delivers these benefits to them by 'seeding' and enhancing gateway and access network intelligence for homes and businesses".

"This process spawns a huge new frontier for service provider revenue growth", said Samhouri.

"TrueOne provides this value cost effectively with much more "brain power" than ever attainable before".

"Consumers don't want different network service behaviour at their homes, offices, and local coffee shop", Samhouri added.

"They want to receive all their services - regardless of where they are - in the same way and as reliably and deterministically as they get from the previous generation of voice networks".

Because of its rich technology expertise and heritage, Agere possesses the unmatched, real-world core competency for delivering these differentiated TrueOne solutions.

With its roots as part of AT and T, Bell Labs and Western Electric, Agere's solutions and knowhow helped design the world's largest and most reliable communications system ever built: the public circuit switched telephone network.

No other chip company has this unique and relevant background for delivering carrier-grade solutions for service providers.

Using Agere's silicon chips, software, and system expertise, TrueOne solutions are designed for use in various types of equipment, including carrier-managed home, small office, home office, small and medium business services gateways, as well as multiservice wireline and wireless access platforms.

Agere's TrueOne solutions include a wire-speed communication platform augmented by a service-enabling platform.

Agere's PayloadPlus network processors, which combine IP processing and world-leading traffic management, are the "brains" of the TrueOne communications platforms.

Used today in major carrier and enterprise equipment worldwide, these chips enable service providers to offer connections that operate at and maintain true and full line-capacity without degrading user service performance.

If network processors form the "brains" of TrueOne, Gigabit Ethernet switching chip solutions represent the "heart" of these solutions.

Designed for switching triple play services, these chips do not drop packets even at large "jumbo" sises.

The chips also facilitate in-home high definition TV delivery over Ethernet technology.

Alternative switching solutions today cannot achieve these levels of performance.

Agere's services-enabling TrueOne offerings also showcase the company's digital signal processor (DSP) system chips.

These solutions enable delivery of highly delay-sensitive video and voice traffic with the appropriate level of quality previously only possible for voice services with the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

TrueOne delivers this voice service quality over the new, converged IP network originating in homes, businesses, or mobile networks.

Agere's TrueOne solutions are available now.
