Introduction
The T1000 Traffic Director is a high-performance application delivery controller providing
100% availability for applications delivered through Bytemobile's Unison platform or
Bytemobile’s T3100 Adaptive Traffic Management System. The T1000 integrates with
these Bytemobile's platforms to deliver superior Smart Capacity application performance,
reduce the time for putting into service new or replacement application servers and lower
the operational complexity for a mobile-core Bytemobile deployment. By providing a
guaranteed, unified package, Bytemobile offers a single vendor for all design,
implementation and problem resolution.
The T1000 is a series of hardware platforms that includes the T1010, T1100 and T1200,
with a capacity range from 2 Gbps up to 100 Gbps, and configurations that include up to 24
high-speed optical ports. To address growth in subscriber traffic, each model can increase
capacity through software licenses. Figure 1-1 shows a front view of the T1100, the
mid-range model of the T1000 Series.

With extensive Layer 4 to 7 capabilities, the T1000 supports multiple policies for switching
subscriber flows across Smart Capacity applications and platforms for security, legacy
value-added services and emerging value-added services offered in conjunction with content
partners. Mobile network planners can immediately add capacity without having to
provision new hardware modules to scale traffic requirements.
