BITS Technology – Generations One & Two

1st Generation BITS met the needs for the telecom industry’s rising importance in a world where communication needed to be faster and more reliable.

Many of these early systems are still in use today. These workhorses were solidly built but lacking the scalability features required for modern telecom networks.

2nd Generation BITS was an improvement that added remote connectivity and management plus software upgrade functionality along with these products:

• TimeProvider 1100 – seen below
• SSU 2000
• TimeHub 5500
