Aggregation of GbE Network Traffic

Datasheet integrated Multiservice Access Platform

GE8

AT-TN117-A 8 Port GbE Service and Aggregation Module

The GE8 module available for use with the iMAP 9000 series is a new advancement in line card flexibility. As network bandwidth continues to grow, Service Providers find increasing bandwidth requirements farther in the local loop. The ability to maintain a single IP infrastructure to address Network Transport bandwidth as well as last mile access bandwidth is pivotal for any network operator.

The GE8 module is primarily intended to be used as an aggregation element with the introduction of Allied Telesis’ 10G iMAP common control upgrade (CFC56 and XE1). Combined, these modules provide 10G transport bandwidth as well as aggregation of up to 8 GbE feeds per GE8 module. When used in the iMAP Resource Module slots, a pair of GE8 modules can be used to subtend up to 8 EPSRTM rings providing an extremely flexible, reliable and dense aggregation point from any network location.

If point-to-point aggregation links are required, the GE8 provides cost effective and feature rich aggregation to any GbE network element. As network designs continue to blend the line between Access and Transport, the GE8 will become a key component of any IP Triple Play network design.

Metro Ethernet Connectivity

With the GE8 module, the Allied Telesis iMAP is ideally suited for delivering GbE services to any Enterprise or business location relying on last mile fiber access. With advanced features including per VLAN rate limiting, the GE8 module can be used as either a network interface for subtended remote locations or for point-to-point connectivity to a strategic business.

The GE8 module supports up to 4095 VLANs and can be used to provide business Ethernet services. Whether serving customers from traditional COs, CEVs, RTs or an Enterprise, the iMAP and GE8 module offers wirespeed and non-blocking bandwidth for any IP/Ethernet application.

Part of Allied Telesis’ IP Broadband Access Family

Whether it is broadband ADSL2+, FTTH or POTS, the iMAP family is the ideal platform for last mile service delivery.The GE8 line card can be used with any of the iMAP family of carrier grade, IP Multiservice Access platforms:

•iMAP 9700 (9RU, 17 service slots)

•iMAP 9400 (3RU, 7 service slots)

•MiniMAP 9100 (1RU, 3 service slots)

Provisioning, management, and diagnostics of subscriber ports can be accomplished from either the iMAP command line interface or the NMS.

The AT-TN117 has been designed to survive the most rugged environmental conditions. It can be confidently deployed in either a central office or in outdoor enclosures withstanding extremes of heat, cold, and light exposure.
