Alcatel SA (NYSE: ALA - message board; Paris: CGEP:PA) officials confirmed today that the company has ceased development of its 7770 Optical Broadband Exchange (OBX) core IP router. It will now focus its research and development efforts on a new set of routers it acquired from startup TiMetra. After the acquisition of TiMetra this summer, Alcatel decided to scrap further development of the 7770, concentrating future efforts on the existing TiMetra product line (see Alcatel & TiMetra Seal the Deal ). The TiMetra platform, which has been re-branded the 7750 Service Router (SR), is specifically engineered to deliver IP services like Layer 2 and Layer 3 virtual private networks (VPNs) over an IP/MPLS backbone (see TiMetra Shoots for Service Edge ). |
