SDH multiplexer SMA4/1HiT50 FP1
SMA4/1HiT50 FP1 is a next-generation SDH multiplexer. It enables true multi-service provisioning and serves the requirements of tomorrow’s converged networks.
SMA4/1HiT50 FP1 is the ideal solution for network operators who are looking for an ultra-compact yet powerful and versatile network element to significantly cut costs and increase revenue through more efficient service provisioning.
SMA4/1HiT50 FP1 is an ultra-compact and cost-effective multiplexer integrating voice and packet services, it serves all applications with one common card pool for two dedicated platforms. It is designed for customer premises and the metro access layer. Its line speed can be either STM-1 or STM-4.
Distinctive features and benefits:
- Fully non-blocking 5G & 10G VC-12 switching granularity.
- Multi-service platform for PDH, SDH and Ethernet services: 2M, 34/45M, STM — 1/4/16, 10BaseT, FE.
- Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) mapping for Ethernet packets for optimal scalability.
- Extensive protection features (SNCP, MSP, BSHR) and support of low-priority traffic.
- High-density interface cards deploying small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules.
- Increased revenue from new services.
- Significant cost reductions (CAPEX and OPEX).
- Seamless integration into the existing network infrastructure
- Full integration into Siemens’ best-in-class TNMS network management system
SMA4/1HiT50 FP1 protects the installed SDH investment and sustains the operator’s TDM services and revenue. Moreover the existing network can be upgraded with minimum costs to carry Ethernet traffic, which opens the door to new business opportunities and new customers. Once mapped into the SDH containers, the Ethernet traffic can be transported via the existing network.
Significant investment and operational cost reductions
SMA4/1HiT50 FP1 is highly scalable: it allows the operator to start with a basic configuration at lowest price and cost-efficiently upgrade the system in-service step by step. Not only is the bandwidth scalable, but also the number and type of services, bringing all the flexibility the carriers need in today’s telecommunication market. It therefore prepares the operator’s networks for future requirements, allows business driven growth and assures early time to market of new services. OPEX and CAPEX reductions as well as optimum use of existing resources are the main benefits of SMA4/1HiT50 FP1:
- Convergence of data and voice combined with increased functionality and high integration density significantly reduces the amount of equipment. Considerable lower investment, installation, operational and maintenance costs are the consequence.
- Equipment modularity and flexibility is based on a common pool of all types of interface cards. But even more, this common card pool reduces the number of spare parts operators need to stock.
- Optimized bandwidth utilization is guaranteed by Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS). Transmission capacity is adjustable in steps of 1 Mbit/s for 10/100BaseT services and 10 Mbit/s steps for GbE services up to wire speed.
- The integrated Layer-2 Switch module provides local switching and overbooking with customer separation — without the need for additional platforms and technologies. The carrier is in the position to offer Ethernet services with different service qualities: carrier-grade Ethernet for business customers and best-effort Ethernet for a large amount of additional customers, e.g. residential customers
- The small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules are customized port features which allow “under-equipping” to support different applications cost effectively. Long-haul and short-haul interfaces can be mixed on one card.
Complete network management
SMA4/1HiT50 FP1 is fully integrated into Siemens’ best-in-class TNMS network management system, which provides end-to-end administration and performance monitoring for the converged next generation SDH Network. It also improves operating efficiency, reduces costs for service delivery and simplifies network operations.
Multiservice metropolitan applications
The major network market for SMA4/1HiT50 FP1 is the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) segment for carriers and end-customers, as well as access network rings. SMA4/1HiT50 FP1 represents a true multiservice network element that can be deployed as a terminal multiplexer (TMX), an add-drop multiplexer (ADM) and a small local cross-connect (LXC) in point-to-point, chain and ring topologies and ring interconnections. It is the best choice for applications with uplink capacity ranging from STM-1 to STM-16.
The wide variety of applications and services covered by SMA4/1HiT50 FP1 includes:
- Highly flexible multi-service metro access, for collecting any combination of Ethernet and SDH traffic.
- Single ring closure.
- SDH services that can be made available on customer sites, thereby meeting end customers’ increasing demand for high bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS).
- Connection of customer’s premises (inter-connecting and extending LANs).
- Bandwidth on demand via GFP mapping and LCAS for Ethernet point-to-point links.
- Network termination on customer premises and demarcation between different providers’ networks.
- Connection of base stations in mobile networks.
