Memorylink Introduces T1 Today™ at CTIA 2008

Suite of Products Solves Many Challenges Faced by PCS Operators

LAS VEGAS, March 31, 2008 – Memorylink Corp. (www.memorylink.com) introduced T1 Today™, a suite of backhaul solutions supported by a network of certified integrators, all designed to deliver T1 links with unmatched value in terms of reliability, cost and time-to-install.

At CTIA this week, Memorylink will unveil and demonstrate this T1 Today suite of products in Booth #6150. The ‘T1 Today’ moniker connotes both a modern solution for delivering real-world T1 links and the fact that installing the links can be measured in hours rather than weeks or months.

 “One of the many challenges faced by today’s cellular operators is getting reliable service into rural areas at a cost that justifies this build-out.  Increasingly, carriers are turning to license-free radio links as the preferred solution to deliver reliable links at an affordable price,” said Steve Erickson, Memorylink Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “T1 Today is a sensible, proven alternative to leased copper circuits or expensive licensed microwave links.”

Johnathan Hebert, network engineer for Pace Cellular in Kaplan, LA, said “Some of the areas we cover in rural Louisiana have very little in the way of  traditional infrastructure. For us, it’s vitally important that we’re able to deliver service at the least cost possible, but still maintain our high standard of reliability.  In some of these areas our customers are increasingly using their PCS phone as their only phone, and we need to make sure they’ve got service when they need it. The combination of Memorylink’s Flanger™ and Motorola’s CanopyŽ backhaul radios offers the best bang for your buck.”

In terms of reliability, flexibility, scalability, and cost, “the Memoryink products are unmatched,” said Erickson. “Our products work with most of the preferred Ethernet backhaul radios and can deliver from one to eight T1’s or E1’s with carrier-class reliability across even the most challenging paths. They’re easy to install and maintain.”

Memorylink’s multiplexers have some unique market characteristics, including:

 ˇ        Metawire™ technology that was designed from the ground up specifically for use with WIRELESS radio systems. MemoryLink’s patented process recognizes that IP over wireless is not the same as IP over cable.  Its engineering team is headed by CTO Tom Freeburg, who has more than 60 patents to his name.

ˇ        The most flexible product on the market. It is field upgradable to grow with the needs of the network.  Starting with a single DS1, an operator can add capacity, up to 4 DS1s, without changing out hardware.  Additionally, Memorylink products ship with pre-configured settings for the most common Ethernet radio links, but if the application requires a change in buffer depth or packet size, it’s as easy as accessing the simple-to-use menu.

ˇ        The availability of Forward Error Correction (FEC) to compensate for less than perfect radio links by sending each packet twice in a staggered fashion.

ˇ        The use of a high stability oscillator, which ensures the product meets the most demanding standards for delivering TDM over IP, for use in systems such as GSM backhaul (50 ppb), CDMA backhaul (millisecond latency), and T1 and E1 replacement in networks where clock timing and stability are critical.

“We utilize the Flanger to tunnel our T1 traffic to our cell sites that use Motorola Canopy systems,” said Dave Lund, technology manager for Northeast Iowa Telephone, an AT&T Wireless affiliate in the Midwest. “The out-of-the-box configuration allows them to be installed easily by the field crew while allowing us to be more cost effective for lower-traffic rural cell sites.”

Memorylink’s T1 Today suite of products meets the rigid requirements of both GSM and CDMA systems. Memorylink has hundreds of installations around the world and its backhaul products are endorsed by and used by two of the largest Ethernet radio manufacturers.
