Compact, cost-effective Ethernet/TDM demarcation

Telco Systems’ T-Marc™ is a family of cost-effective, fully-managed carrier Ethernet demarcation devices that provide service termination and demarcation over service providers’ packet-based networks. As a multi-port customer-located intelligent demarcation device, the T-Marc delivers managed converged services (voice,video and data) over virtual Ethernet in a metro Ethernet network.

Advanced Layer 2 Networking using Telco Systems' AccessEthernet™ allows total flexibility in deployment and delivery of Ethernet services. Physical and logical channel networking capabilities provide bandwidth profiles, advanced traffic classes, and complete control over how subscriber traffic is transported and managed across a service provider’s network.

T-Marc offers a rich management tool set to reduce operational expenses (OPEX) and scale management to large access networks. T-Marc augments existing IP/SNMP-based management frameworks with the IEEE 802.3ah Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) protocol, the IEEE 802.1ag Configuration Fault Management (CFM) protocol, and emerging MEF frameworks to provide proactive health and status updates on network topology and application behavior.

Circuit Emulation Services over Packet The T-Marc-254 utilizes AccessTDM™ to deliver legacy TDM over Ethernet enabling service providers to extend their reach and addressable customer base to include both voice and data without sacrificing revenues from existing TDM services. Based on Circuit Emulation Services over Packet (CESoP) standards for T-Line (T1/E1) services, the T-Marc protects users legacy equipment investments (e.g., PBX’s, routers with T1/E1 interfaces) while cost effectively enabling Ethernet service providers the ability to offer revenue generating services over dedicated, managed next generation packet networks.
