The Facom 2890 Multimedia Highway System hardware will be offered with the company’s new COINS II Corporate Information Network System software and 2690 hardware providing central control for packet-switches, digital PABXs, multiplexers and other communications equipment. Fujitsu claims it to be the first network running at more than 100 M-bits per second as well as the first with support for digital speech as well as data. A broadband system, it supports star, loop and bus networks. The 2890 hardware costs $915,000, the 2690 system is $59,000. Fujitsu expects to sell 100 local networks and 250 network systems over three years.
