IPLink Inverse Mux
Bond up to 4 T1/E1s for a Transparent 8 Mbps Channel
Patton IPLink 2888 8-Mbps Inverse Mux
with dual gigabit Ethernet and up to 4 T1/E1 ports

Forget the fiber.
Why not use today's existing T1/E1 infrastructure to
build your next-generation network for tomorrow's high-speed applications?

Why upgrade to expensive fiber? Patton's Inverse Mux supports jumbo Ethernet frames on dual gig-Ethernet ports for a totally transparent connection. That means all the next-generation protocols—including MPLS traffic with stacked labels—can transparently surf across the old TDM network.

Bond up to 4 T1/E1s for a Transparent 8 Mbps Channel

Patton 2888 Specifications

Patton's IPLink 2888 Inverse Mux bonds existing T1/E1 lines into a transparent high-bandwidth channel so you can...


•	Reuse existing TDM infrastructure to deliver high-speed next-generation network-access services.
•	Transparently backhaul broadband traffic from remote POPs (wiMAX base stations, IpDSLAMs) and network peering points (MPLS routers).
•	Seamlessly interconnect MPLS/VPLS next-generation networks (NGNs) and avoid MPLS tunneling vulnerabilities.
