| The
NetPerformer
family of multi-service integrated
access devices from ACT Networks offers
end-to-end voice, fax, data and LAN
solutions over one network. The
SkyPerformer software option can extend
this service over satellite or hybrid
satellite/terrestrial networks.
Compatible
with public frame relay networks,
SkyPerformer is ideal for distributed or
multi-site enterprise networks and for
extending carrier service offerings
where terrestrial services are poor or
nonexistent. In addition, SkyPerformer
works seamlessly with ACT's other
integrated frame relay access products
under the same user-friendly network
management system.
SkyPerformer
has the unique ability to use a single
satellite frequency to broadcast to
multiple remote locations. This creates
a frame relay "switch in the
sky" and saves the customer money.
Where
landlines are unavailable, SkyPerformer
offers a high-performance,
cost-effective alternative for
connecting remote locations that require
integrated voice and data
communications. And, SkyPerformer saves
enterprises money in two ways: on the
one-time hardware capital costs and on
the recurring space-segment charges.

| FEATURES
& BENEFITS |
| A
uniform network
means that with the SkyPerformer software
option for the NetPerformer
family, a user only needs to learn one interface
and hardware platform for both satellite and
terrestrial networks.
Easy
migration means
that the user can install a satellite network
today using the SkyPerformer option for the NetPerformer
and in the future transfer to a terrestrial
network without replacing the hardware, by just
deactivating the SkyPerformer software option.
Integrated
voice and data capability
in an extensible package, makes NetPerformer
an ideal solution for the needs of the regional
or central office in a converged network. The NetPerformer
product line allows each individual site to be
configured with just the right combination of
services including satellite or terrestrial
connection to the network performance and
scalability, avoiding unnecessary cost.
Support
for modem and fax means
that the SkyPerformer can support all the
telephony needs of today's distributed
satellite-based nodes, saving cost by
integrating all types of traffic onto a single
network.
Digital
voice support with
high modular density capacity, along with
support for key signaling methodologies, lets NetPerformer
readily connect to the world's most popular PBX
units.
Support
for PowerCell
ACT's award-winning technology for voice and
data integration and prioritization, allows the
entire network to operate at optimal performance
for all supported traffic types.
SNMP-compliant
MIBs and graphical management
through ACTView 2000, including integration with
Hewlett Packard's OpenView for Windows95/NT,
lets NetPerformer
be managed using today's most popular and
universal network management paradigms.
Any-to-any
voice switching integrates
the disparate phone systems of individual sites.
This eliminates the need for consistency among
sites, saving cost and increasing flexibility.
Adherence
to standards
lets NetPerformer
seamlessly integrate with any public network,
and ensures compatibility with leading Frame
Relay switches
