The ATM CES port adapter is an ATM access concentrator on a card. The Cisco 7200 router with an ATM CES port adapter results in a cost effective, single-box, Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS™)-based solution that is ideally positioned as a customer premises equipment (CPE) device where integration of circuit emulation (voice and video) traffic and packet (data) traffic is required over a public or private broadband ATM network. This approach provides many benefits to the user, such as lower system cost, lower management cost, and an end-to-end Cisco WAN solution.
