(ATM Network Interconnection Design Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the first network system developed specifically to support multiple services. ATM networks have the ability to support audio (sound), video and data together. ATM today supports up to 2.5Gbps of bandwidth. When the data network moved to ATM, functionality was immediately enhanced due to the added memory. Audio networking can save money, in part, by sharing the same network as data, and through audio compression, silence compression, repeat mode compression, and dynamic bandwidth allocation. The 53-byte cell of ATM fixed size allows ATM to support a dedicated network of time multiplexing (TDM) to achieve the efficiency of a public switched data network (PublicSwitchedDataNetworks, PSDN).)
