Easy to install and economical to maintain and spare, the IAB-3000 channel bank brings power and versatility to wide area interconnectivity in evolving access networks. Ideal for use in critical infrastructure environments, the IAB-3000 gracefully bridges existing and emerging service requirements without sacrificing important network functions – or jeopardizing communications integrity.

• Meet current and changing application requirements with a flexible solution well-suited to address the modernization initiatives of utility and government networks
• Deploy a proven-reliable channel bank system, as demonstrated in public and private networks around the world
• Improve safety in high-voltage utility substation environments by deploying optional low-speed optical modules
• Enhance security and survivability of vital infrastructure with redundant components, database backup and restore, APS, and password-protected security features

The IAB-3000 processes legacy services that still perform essential functions in evolving networks and efficiently grooms this traffic onto modernized networks. Plug-in modules support a mix of voice and data interfaces, reduce upfront cost, and simplify upgrades. Proven reliability and enhanced security features help government and utility operators meet stringent regulations for network security and survivability.
