In the past, bandwidth is equally shared and competed amongst all users at access level. That means applications with less requirements for bandwidth will take away too much bandwidth, at the same time applications that demand higher speed will not get enough bandwidth.

Telecom and internet service providers can now stop losing valuable bandwidth with MetroBlazer™ switches, at the same time internet users can enjoy high speed and high efficiency broadband services. MetroBlazer™ CPE Switch 1208 series by Aspen Optics (www.aspenoptics.com ) introduces an innovative technology to achieve effective rate limiting and bandwidth control, offering a simple and cost effective way to stop giving away bandwidth, allowing telecom operators to provide different levels of service and bandwidth per customer Ethernet port.

More than that, MetroBlazer™ allows users at access level to independently allocate different ports for different applications under the same roof. The device supports 8 levels of bandwidth control for various applications that require different levels of bandwidth, like video-conferencing, VoIP, HDTV, IP surveillance, IP Storage and other PC applications with diversified bandwidth consumption requirements.

With the growing popularity of fiber networks and bandwidth-heavy applications, this broadband management feature of MetroBlazer™ allows users to take control of their network resources and efficiently allocate bandwidth for different terminal devices to enjoy the highest quality of service. www.aspenoptics.com
