The AP3000 is one of a range of Access Processor [AP] Products that Metrodata manufacture. There are currently 3 AP Product Variants all of which are Modular - AP3000 [3 Modules], AP4000 [4 or 5 Modules] and AP8000 [8 or 9 Modules]. The AP Modules are interoperable throughout the AP range.

Whilst working on a Defense network project, Metrodata realized that what was needed was complete flexibility of data rate. We had for some time been getting enquiries for EIA530 and HSSI to DS-3 ATM Conversion. All of these were at very "odd" data rates. Typically they would require 1kbit/s or 1bit/s clock increments, ie 9.163Mbits Inbound and 322.231kbits Outbound.

Metrodata are at the cutting edge of the drive for improved Defense Communications systems. Our goal is to remove all constraints at the Transmission level and allow you to design and rollout true Network Centric Warfare. Metrodata are all about innovative, flexible products and applications. We believe our competitive advantage is our willingness to think outside the box and apply knowledge and technologies and applications from outside Defense.
