Ready access to additional capacity and emerging technologies We call the PortMaster 4 leasing program "future proof" for several reasons. 1. Only the PortMaster 4 delivers the next-generation, carrier-class architecture that you need to support the highest density, bandwidth and performance requirements that you can specify. 2. Start with the base configuration and add capacity as your need grows. This is the only program available that enables you to expand your financing coverage this way. 3. The program's trade-up provision will allow you to swap out the modules that you use today for others supporting such emerging technologies as Voice over IP, VPN and more.
