Pseudowire Access Gateway
The DragonWave Fusion A1 is a customer-located pseudowire access device designed to enable cost-effective voice and data integration over packet-based access networks, such as Carrier Ethernet, cable HFC, xDSL, EPON/GPON, WiMAX, and IP.
The A1 allows service providers to rapidly open up new revenue opportunities by enabling profitable legacy voice and data services, such as T1/E1 private line, as well as advanced Ethernet capabilities over next-generation packet-based access networks using a single, standards-based, pseudowire access device.
