History

The first set of ERS 4500 series became available in February 2007 from Nortel with the release of software version 5.0.[1] The switches are 1U high and five models were originally available which consisted of the; 4526FX, 4550T, 4550T-PWR, 4548GT and 4548GT-PWR.[2]

In 2008 a detailed evaluation of the systems was performed by Tolly.[3] In 2009 The United States Department of Defense performed extensive testing of the ERS 4500 series and approved and certified these for use in the Assured Services Voice Application Local Area Network (ASVALAN) systems of the DoD.[4] In March 2011 the Australian Department of Defense installed the ERS 4500 series with other Avaya data equipment to support their over 90,000 users.[5] In December 2011 this system completed evaluation and certification by the U.S. Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) testing center for use in the United States Department of Defense as an Assured Services Local Area Network (ASLAN).[6]
