Multiservice Provisioning Platform
The Challenge We Face
Telecom carriers and network operators today are
constantly looking for ways to expand their network
and customer services in order to increase revenue
with minimum cost and time. This is the challenge
most vendors face, too. Flexibility, reliability, scalabili-
ty, and cost-effectiveness 鈥?these are just a few of the
capabilities that telecom carriers expect of next-gener-
ation network systems.
support these user demands with a shorter lead-time
and minimum investment is one of the most critical
issues for every service provider to survive in today鈥檚
highly competitive market. Here too, FLASHWAVE
4560 is the solution for you. Simply fit the Ethernet
units into FLASHWAVE 4560 shelf and you can turn
your traditional voice network into an advanced, data
and voice converged network. With two different
operational modes of Gigabit Ethernet transport,
point-to-point and bandwidth sharing, operators can
support end-user demands either way 鈥?with full
wire-speed transport, or with cost-effective best-effort
type of service over the selected number of VC-4
pipes. Furthermore, its virtual concatenation capabili-
ty enables operators to use their limited network
bandwidth without any loss.
The FLASHWAVE 4560 gives you everything
you need to build next generation networks today.
The Solution We Provide
FLASHWAVE 4560 provides all the many quali-
ties to meet every telecom carrier鈥檚 needs. Its universal
interface slot structure and flexible VC-4/VC-12
cross-connect capability allow you to tailor its shelf as
your network demands, from a traditional STM-16 or
STM-64 ADM to an extensive hub with a number of
optical subtending rings. With the flexibility of 鈥渁ny
card in any slot鈥?shelf architecture, and various network
application capabilities (ring, linear, and hub) in both
the metro and the backbone network, spare inventory
and training costs can be significantly reduced.
In addition, the hub application with numerous
subtending rings reduces the cabling work that would
otherwise be required between each ring node, thereby
slashing installation time and costs. It also leads to less
miswiring and unintentional disconnection, for a
more reliable network.
