The unique network processor enables the implementation of market
leading service-enabling intelligence such as advanced quality of
service and security
PETAH TIKVA, Israel–(EMWNews)–ECI Telecom, a global provider of networking infrastructure solutions,
announced today that it will showcase the world’s first high-bandwidth
gigabit passive optical network (GPON) optical line termination (OLT)
with a built-in network processor at the Broadband World Forum Asia
Conference in Hong Kong. This next-generation GPON OLT solution, the
only one to offer a built-in network processor in a GPON
line card, is based on 800 Gbps of switching capacity and offers two new
platforms, F152
and F61,
significantly enhancing ECI’s OLT product offerings based on the Hi-FOCuS™
Multi-Service Access Node (MSAN) family.
“Services such as IPTV, video on demand, VoIP and peer-to-peer
communications are driving the need for higher bandwidth, which has
resulted in the rapid growth of fiber-based access technology,
particularly PON, on a global basis. In Asia Pacific, which accounts for
the largest number of FTTH customers, operators are increasingly
embracing PON, with GPON gaining traction in many countries such as
Korea, Singapore, India, Taiwan and the Philippines. By continuously
introducing advances in GPON technology, ECI will be well positioned for
an increased share of the market opportunity,” said Teresa Mastrangelo,
Principal Analyst of BroadbandTrends.
The upgraded Hi-FOCuS MSAN OLT is part of ECI’s
1Net business framework solution. The integrated network processor
provides operators with unique service-enabling intelligence as they
transition their networks towards NGN. The solution enables the
implementation of market leading functionalities, such as advanced
quality of service and security. It also allows for added flexibility,
easily adapting to different network designs while providing system
agility with the processing headroom for future upgrades –
a key promise of the 1Net framework for operators tasked with managing
their network transitions.
The new service-enabling capabilities also enable network operators to
smoothly introduce advanced revenue generating customized services with
unique flexibility for future upgrades, while maintaining an
architecture that supports current broadband requirements like xDSL or
TDM voice services.
“This new GPON OLT solution joins ECI’s wide
range of optical network units (ONUs) and ONTs to present the market
leading GPON offering today in bandwidth capacity, service-enabling
intelligence and architectural agility ECI’s tradition in innovation and
our drive to respond to our customers’ needs and demands underscores our
commitment to bring the most advanced and cost-effective solutions
possible, without compromising quality and competitiveness,”
commented Eli Lotan, Vice President of the Access Line of Business of
ECI Telecom.
The Hi-FOCuS MSAN family is the only broadband access solution in the
market that simultaneously supports xDSL, VoIP and fiber access services
in a single platform. The product family is part of ECI’s recently
announced 1Net offering, a comprehensive framework focusing on the
optimized transition to next-generation networks, through the unique
combination of multi-functional network equipment, fully integrated
solutions and a suite of professional services to provide customers the
highest level of support as they evolve their networks.
Technical Specifications:
-
New high-bandwidth network interface (HBNI-42) card with 800 Gbps
switching capacity and two 10 GbE or four 1GbE uplink ports, the new
platforms support voice gateway cards/POTS interfaces, GPON and xDSL.
This subscriber-side line card facilitates the implementation of
market leading service-enabling functionality, such as advanced QoS
and security, while providing system agility with the processing
headroom for future upgrades.
-
Ultra-high capacity 10 Gbps dual-star backplane with 2x10Gbps per line
card which allows for full capacity GPON traffic. The new GPLT-4E line
card connects the MSAN to the subscriber through a unique design
featuring a network processor which enables service providers to
define highly granular QoS profiles and to create different security
models, as well as providing greater flexibility for future upgrades
and new services.
-
These new Hi-FOCuS MSAN capabilities enable service providers to
smoothly migrate from copper-based networks to fiber access at their
own pace while answering their specific market requirements, per the
1Net directive.
