90-6708-01 (ALCATEL-LUCENT)

The SPRITE PCI T1/E1 Network Interface Cards are the first PCI cards from Alcatel to provide direct connectivity from a Sun SPARCstation or a server directly into the wide area network (WAN). With these cards, users of the Alcatel 5620 Network Manager (NM), formerly the 46020 Network Manager*, benefit from cost-effective routing of control packet switching system (CPSS) traffic in a secure, manageable environment. SPRITE PCI cards enable users to minimize costs and maximize network efficiency by eliminating the need for multiple 8230 MainStreet Ethernet Little Bridges. Newbridge Networks, in conjunction with Brooktrout Technology Inc., developed the first PCI T1/E1 network interface card that provides channelized T1 (1.544 Mb/s) or E1 (2.048 Mb/s) connectivity directly to Sun SPARCstations, SPARCservers, UltraServers and Netra Internet Servers.
