FibeAir 1500AL, a new addition to
FibeAir family of products, is an optical full functionality SDH ADM (Add-Drop
Multiplexer). FibeAir 1500AL supports all ADM features, such as path
protection and synchronization, and provides two STM-1 optical
aggregates, and n x E1 or STM-1 tributary lines.
FibeAir 1500AL supports chain and ring topologies. It can be used in
pure SDH wireless networks or in mixed (wired and wireless) networks.
The ability to add/drop traffic in each node of the network provides
network flexibility and ease of planning. Ring topologies provide
traffic protection without the need for redundant equipment as is
required for protected (1+1) configurations.
The system supports path protection and synchronization mechanisms, and
implements In-Band Management for seamless integration in the network. Our
management concept involves the management applications integrated with
existing network management platforms.
FibeAir network management is controlled by our network management
software. CeraView®, the SNMP-based GUI element manager, and PolyView™, our
open interface network management software, run on Windows 98/2000/NT
and over HP OpenView (Windows or UNIX). PolyView™ provides end-to-end
trail management for FibeAir 1500AL.
Features
Optimized carrier class wireline solution for cellular and service providers
Complies with SDH standards
Provides up to 16 E1 tributaries, or an STM-1 tributary interface and an electrical/optical aggregate
Path protection and network synchronization
External synchronization inputs/outputs
Unique SNMP-based element and network management, supports path protection, clock synchronization, NTP server
connection, and in-band management
Up to 4 FibeAir 1500AL IDUs can be stacked to provide connections for up to 63 E1s
Or, alternatively, FibeAir 1500AL can be configured with an STM-1 tributary and an STM-1-to-63 E1
Access Mux
Provides remote software download for our units in the system
Applications
SDH ring and chain topologies, with full add-drop functionality and path protection in the ring for wireless
or wire line networks
Standard ADM that can easily be integrated in the network with other vendor SDH equipment
FibeAir’s standard in-band management capability enables management of external equipment and FibeAir products
within the SDH network. External clock signals can be input for precise synchronization with other equipment in the network
1500AL also supports cascaded topologies, and enables a “highway” type network that drops E1s at each node
