Multiple Switching Capabilities to Meet
Current and Future Business and Market Needs

The flexible, modular architecture of the 5ESS®-2000 Switch allows it to maintain its leadership position on technology's cutting edge. The 5ESS®-2000 Switch expands the bandwidth, processing power and memory capacity of the original 5ESS® Switch. With its AnyMedia™ capability, it stands alone as the only switch able to simultaneously provide both wireline and wireless services as well as any combination of voice, data and video applications off the same switch. And with its robust remoting architecture, it offers over 40% greater line capacity, 75% greater remoting capacity and 400% greater distance capabilities than its nearest competitor.

With this unrivaled AnyMedia™ Platform flexibility and modular, distributed architecture, the 5ESS®-2000 Switch is being used throughout the United States and internationally. In fact, all major U.S. telephone companies and many emerging Service Providers have placed the 5ESS®-2000 Switch and its product family at the heart of their new flat, more flexible networks.

Continued evolution will keep it there well into the next millennium, protecting investments and providing competitive advantage.
