Introduction to the TNE1544 and TNE1584
Paradyne's TNE1544 and TNE1584 are loop bonding network extenders for Paradyne's
12000 and 4000 IP Broadband Loop Carriers that provide up to 6 Mbps (TNE1544) or
12 Mbps (TNE1584) of symmetrical bandwidth using T1 lines.
The TNE1544 features four T1 ports, and the TNE1584 eight T1 ports, each capable of
up to 1.5 Mbps bandwidth. When used with any Paradyne loop bonding compatible
product, one to eight ports may be used to deliver high-speed bandwidth at any given
distance. Paradyne's loop bonded technology provides automatic load balancing and
fail-over for optimum redundancy and data throughput. In addition the TNE1544 and
TNE1584 support repeaters installed on the T1 loop, ensuring maximum distance and
flexibility.
The TNE1544 and TNE1584 can be connected to any combination of T1 uplink interface
modules, micro interface modules, and network extenders, so long as every connection
pairs a provider and a subscriber unit.
