The T3/E3 ATM module allows the Climax950, Climax960 and Climax2000 to send compressed voice, video and data over an ATM network at T3/E3 speeds. The module also provides a full range of value-added features.

Asce Networks' T3/E3 ATM Module provides compressed voice, video and data over an ATM network at T3/E3 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 and Climax960 hold one T3/E3 ATM module per chassis and the Climax2000 holds up to two T3/E3 ATM modules. Its ATM implementation complies with UNI 3.1 and TM 4.0.
