(ASCEND) The MAX TNT (fwd)
Once upon a time Will Pierce shaped the electrons to say...

But by then it will have competition. The TNT is not a dense product even
now. Both the BAY 5000 and the ACC Tigris are denser. And the Tigris
can do a T3 in ONE chassis.
Add to that the 3Com Hi-Per Access TC, which is the densest product
announced to date (almost twice that of the TNT) and there is more
competition.
And Livingston will shortly be announcing a new product which ups the
ante again.
The TNT had the market to itself for a while. The ACC is not a well know
or widely used product, and Bay just started shipping the 5399 blades which
really make the 5000 viable.
If 3Com's claimes hold true by the end of the year there will be two
new products - 3Com and Livingston - on the market with a much higher
density and much higher performance that the TNT.
So I'd hope Ascend has a new product due shortly. The TNT, as it stands
today, is behind the technology curve. It was ahead, in some areas, but
the competition doesn't stand still and technology in this industry moves
damn fast.
