Introduction

Integral Access PurePacket™ integrated access network solution offers service providers a next generation, multi-service access network solution to deliver a broad portfolio of voice, data, and video services. The PurePacket™ solution, can provide value to a service provider via three different deployment scenarios:

• Access Network Convergence - converging existing TDM and ATM access into a next generation, multi-service access solution;
• Legacy Voice and Data Network Migration - migrating traditional voice and overlay data networks into a single next generation access solution;
• Next Generation Network - IP/MPLS access for an all-packet, next generation network solution for voice and data services

In the Access Network Convergence scenario, PurePacket™ enables a service provider to preserve legacy investment yet still move beyond TDM and ATM access technologies to an IP/MPLS access infrastructure. By taking advantage of the multi-service capabilities of the PurePacketNode™, a service provider can maximize service offerings while utilizing a common access infrastructure.

In the Legacy Voice and Data Network Migration scenario, PurePacket™ enables a service provider to leverage existing investment, yet still migrate to a next generation IP/MPLS access solution in place of multiple legacy access networks.

In the Next Generation Network scenario, PurePacket™ provides the next generation IP/MPLS access component of a complete all-packet next generation network offering for voice, data, and video services.
