From Patton Electronics Co.

For years, mobile network operators have relied on E1 leased lines to backhaul traffic from cellular base station sites to mobile switching centers. With the Patton OnSite series of µMSPP platforms, you can build and manage your own transmission network at a fraction of the cost of leasing E1 lines from another carrier.

Products & Services
Bit Error Rate Testers
Bit error rate testers are devices or procedures that measure the bit error rate (BER) for a specific transmission.
Network Switches
Network switches connect network devices to host computers and allow a large number of devices to share a limited number of ports. They increase network capacity and speed by examining and filtering data packets. Switches also regenerate forwarded packets, reducing collision rates and permitting the use of additional nodes.
Network Routers
Network routers are protocol-dependent devices that connect subnetworks, or that break down a large network into smaller subnetworks.
Network Gateways
Network gateways interconnect networks with different, incompatible communication protocols. They perform a Layer-7 protocol-conversion to translate one set of protocols into another (for example, from TCP/IP to SNA or from TCP/IP to X.25).
Serial Data Converters
Serial data converters are used to interconnect two different serial standards, such as RS232 to RS422, USB to RS232, etc.
