NG-SDH Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP) for Metro Networks:FLASHWAVE 4X70 Series

摘要

The considerable expansion of Internet, Intranet and broadcast applications hasbeen forcing carriers to transform their telecommunication infrastructures fromvoice-optimized networks to universal, converged networks. Especially in a metronetwork, where a large capacity of diverse service protocols is delivered amongmultiple nodes, a carrier's survival heavily depends on the efficiency of its datatraffic transport. The FLASHWAVE 4X70 series is a powerful Multi-ServiceProvisioning Platform (MSPP) which can provide optimal solutions to such concernsof carriers. This platform provides the flexibility of true packet switching andEthernet transport, while operating with the inherent reliability of SDH. Multiplenetwork elements are integrated and consolidated into a single compact node. Thispaper introduces the features of the FLASHWAVE 4X70 series and its applications,as well as its extensive data transport capabilities.
