In this Product Spotlight we explored the world of MSAN's - Multi Service Access Nodes.
MSAN's - Multi Service Access Nodes are network devices that provide the boundary between customer interfaces and the transport network. MSAN's overcome many of the traditional service limitations by integrating multiple network functions into a single platform. Customer facing services such as traditional voice, DSL and leased line services can be provisioned as well as new emerging IP based services such as optical Ethernet, VoIP and -Video on Demand', all delivered from the same hardware.
Our MSAN's provide cross connect, add/drop and channel back functions as well as CESoIP services enabling transport of legacy PDH interfaces over IP networks and can be divided into 3 categories :-
XMP-1 - The XMP-1 provides back-haul over SDH with capability up to STM-16. The XMP-1 has large cross connect capacity of up to 8064 x 8064 x 64 kbps. It's a modular, compact Next-Generation multiplexer. (shown above)
MileGate - The beauty of MileGate is that it is a hybrid MSAN allowing back-haul of a myriad of different services over either traditional SDH networks or modern IP networks.
UMUX (Universal Multiplexer) - The UMUX has been evolving now for nearly 2 decades! It's a rock solid multiplexer platform with STM-4 capability.
