Marconi has added a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) card and advanced IP capabilities to its Access Hub DSL platform. The functionality enables carriers to deliver VPN services to enterprises across their DSL networks. In addition, new services, such as a customized wholesale service with billing on a “per user” or “per call” basis can be developed. Marconi recently announced new multicasting and voice over DSL capabilities. Carriers deploying the Marconi Access Hub include Telecom Italia, Telkom South Africa and LDCOM.
