Customer Profile
The Passport 4400 Multiservice Access Switch
delivers powerful, integrated multiservice
networking for the Enterprise. It is typically used as a
central site solution for small- to medium-sized
networks. The Passport 4400 is also ideal for large
Enterprise or carrier networks, providing high
performance branch access. Fully scalable, it is
suitable for remote networks comprising as few as
two nodes to as many as several thousands when
deployed in conjunction with the Passport 6400 or
7400 series.
Defining needs
• Do you want to reduce your STD and ISD
telephone charges? The Passport 4400 allows the
integration of voice and data networks to allow
long distance calls to be carried over the data
backbone with full voice quality.
• Do you want to consolidate all of your legacy
data services? The Passport 4400 allows legacy
X.25, asynch, SNA and other proprietry host
networks to be carried over a single network
infrastructure.
Typical Applications
Nortel Networks recognises that deploying separate
networks for voice, video and data is a challenging
task. It leads to ineffective bandwidth use,
application inflexibility and added complexity. The
solution is network consolidation over a single
platform. Network consolidation provides cost
savings, improves business communications and
increases efficiency.
Nortel Networks Passport 4400 Multiservice
switches provide flexible networking for all types of
branch office traffic over a single network
infrastructure. Voice, fax, video, LAN and other data
services such as Frame Relay, SNA, SDLC, X.25, asynch
and HDLC are carried over a choice of link options to
provide efficient, reliable and easily managed
services for mission-critical applications.
The Passport 4400 switches add value to enterprise
networks through key benefits such as:
• Bandwidth Savings - achieve bandwidth savings
through dynamic bandwidth allocation, voice
and data compression, silence suppression, fax
demodulation and optimised LAN access
protocols.
• Branch Office Consolidation - the Passport 4400
provides access consolidation for your branch
office including voice, fax, video, LAN, SNA and
data services across a single network link
• Scalability - the Passport 4400 can support
thousands of nodes when used with the Passport
6400 series of ATM Enterprise network switches.
• Low Cost of Operations - the Passport 4400 is
based on switched virtual circuits, avoiding a
large number of provisioned connections.
