- Seranoa’s WANport T3 Edge Concentrator is an IP-aware layer-2 switch positioned as a lower cost alternative to edge router line cards. The company said the vast majority of edge router cost is tied up in line cards for subscriber aggregation. Seranoa’s WANport concentrators aggregate up to 12 incoming channelized T3 access circuits onto redundant Gigabit Ethernet trunks for connectivity to popular edge routers. The Seranoa concentrators would front-end existing edge routers.
