Service providers are faced with
capital constraints and the continuing need to incrementally
expand existing infrastructures in a cost-effective manner.
They frequently face challenges posed by the limited
electrical range of DS3s and DS1s and the cost of converting
optical to electrical interfaces for transport through
expensive high-capacity network elements.
The ADTRAN Total Access OPTI-MX
delivers the required features and functions for
cost-effective network expansion. This compact,
state-of-the-art unit seamlessly integrates with and
modernizes existing networks. The Total Access OPTI-MX
consolidates discrete optical and multiplexer network elements
into one small 2U (3.5-inch high) chassis. Its feature set,
small footprint, low cost, and diverse deployment options make
the Total Access OPTI-MX a powerful tool that addresses DS1,
DS3/EC-1 (STS-1 electrical interface), Ethernet, and optical
services delivery to the subscriber. It maintains all of the
maintenance and administration tools necessary for service
providers to administer their networks efficiently.
Its fully integrated design provides the management and
redundancy features expected of carrier-class broadband
multiplexers. Total Access OPTI-MX is the industry�s first
OC-3/OC-12 multiplexer to deliver a combination of DS1,
DS3/EC-1s, Ethernet, and OC-3 drops. ADTRAN provides the
ability to utilize all of the bandwidth in an OC-3 or OC-12
for customer services without stranded bandwidth. Its compact
design is significantly smaller than similar products and
delivers superior functionality at a fraction of the price.
Topology
� Terminal mode, subtend a GR-253 compliant SONET ADM
� End-to-end OPTI-MX to OPTI-MX Architecture
� Very low card count, high degree of integration, compact
design
� Optional protection of high-speed interfaces
� Optional protection of low-speed interfaces, DS1, DS3/EC-1,
OC-3 Services
� DS1 (24 to 84 with redundancy)
� DS3/EC-1 (1 to 9 with redundancy)
� Ethernet (1 to 36 )
� OC-3 (1 to 4 with redundancy)
The Total Access OPTI-MX consists of a
common equipment module (the OMM), a maintenance interface
module (the SCM), and line cards (tributary modules). The
common equipment module contains a high speed interface and
common circuitry.
