The T1/E1 ATM module allows compressed voice, video and data over an ATM network at T1/E1 speeds. The module also provides a full range of value-added features.

The T1/E1 ATM Module enables Asce Networks' Climax950, Climax960 and Climax2000 to provide compressed voice, video and data over an ATM network at T1/E1 speeds. The ATM module also offers users a full range of value-added features, including advanced traffic management techniques, quality of service (QoS) monitoring and fault detection. Asce Networks' ATM module allows users to build a seamless multiservice network with frame relay at low speeds in remote sites and ATM at the core.

The Climax950, Climax960 and Climax2000 can support up to two T1/E1 ATM modules per chassis.
