Cisco's Packet-over-T3/E3 network module for the Cisco Integrated Services Routers series offers the first software-configurable T3/E3 product from Cisco. This flexible network module allows the customer to switch between T3 and E3 applications with a single Cisco IOS command. This feature provides customers increased flexibility and investment protection by allowing a Cisco Partner, service provider or enterprise customer to stock only a single product that can be deployed internationally.
The increased demand for bandwidth over the WAN and more attractive pricing of T3/E3 links by SPs has led to steady growth in T3/E3 deployments around the world. The Packet-over T3/E3 network module (part number NM-1T3/E3) eliminates the need for an external data service unit (DSU), reduces provisioning costs, and provides highly manageable T3/E3 line termination. The module provides an integrated line interface unit (LIU) DSU that allows T3 or E3 lines to be directly terminated on a Cisco router, eliminating the need for external DSU equipment. This simplifies the T3/E3 line management, reduces provisioning cost, and frees up valuable rack space.
