Optical multiplexer SMA64 HiT70
Optical multiplexer SMA64 HiT70 is a next-generation SDH multiplexer. It enables true multi-service provisioning and serves the requirements of tomorrow’s converged networks.
Optical multiplexer SMA64 HiT70 belongs to the family of high modularity products and covers the whole range of applications, from local and municipal area networks to backbone lines.
SMA64 HiT70 distinctive features and benefits:
- Non-blocking 160G VC-4 and 10G VC-12 switching granularity;
- Integrated packet fabrics (RPR, MPLS);
- Multi-service platform: 2M, 155M, STM — 1/4/16/64, 40G, 10/100BT, GbE, 10 GbE, SAN interfaces (FICON, Fiber Channel);
- Support of concatenated services (VC-4 — 4c, VC-4-16c, VC-4-64c);
- A variety of STM-64 interfaces, including, WDM variants;
- Extensive protection mechanisms (SNCP, MSP, BSHR, hardware) including RPR traffic steering;
- Increased revenue from new services;
- Significant OPEX and CAPEX reductions;
- Seamless integration into the existing network infrastructure;
- Full integration into Siemens’ best-in-class network management system (TNMS).
SMA64 HiT70 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.
Optical multiplexer SMA64 HiT70 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 is 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 SMA64 HiT70:
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. Furthermore, 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).
The integrated Layer-2 Switch module, RPR and MPLS provide switching and overbooking with customer separation without the need of 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” of interface cards to support different applications cost-effectively. Long-haul and short-haul interfaces can be mixed on one card.
Complete network management
SMA64 HiT70 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.
One platform for all metropolitan area networks applications
Optical multiplexer SMA64 HiT70 is a multipurpose solution for the whole range of applications in metropolitan area and backbone networks.
The main network segment for which SMA64 HiT70 is employed is the metro access and metro core area, when networks have to be prepared for high-bandwidth traffic growth and unpredictable demand for voice or data services. SMA64 HiT70 can be deployed as a UHC feeder, a terminal multiplexer (TMX), an add-drop multiplexer (ADMX), a local cross-connect (LXC) or a multiring terminal (MRT) in point-to-point, chain and ring topologies and ring interconnections.
SMA64 HiT70 offers:
- Flexible and scalable point-to-point links through use of the (GFP) and LCAS.
- Point-to-multipoint connections and aggregation via an integrated Layer-2 switch to build VLAN’s.
- RPR for metro access where ring topologies dominate and MPLS for high-end requirements in meshed networks.
The wide range of applications and services enabled by SMA64 HiT70 includes:
- Bandwidth on demand via GFP mapping and LCAS for Ethernet point-to-point links.
- Cost-efficient metro WDM and DWDM backbone feeding.
- Interconnection of corporate networks.
- Carrier services that can be offered via Ethernet, leased lines, SDH, VLAN, VPN application, SAN and clear channel.
