If I understand your question, what you are looking for is a SONET/SDH
Add-Drop Multiplexer (ADM). Correct? The ADM would feed an ATM switch, and
the combination of the two would be represented by your box at the bottom of
the diagram.

I think companies such as Alcatel, Siemens, Northern Telecom should be able
to help you.
