Pseudowire Gateway

MX408e

Low-profile, High-density PWE3 Solution

Product Features

■High capacity delivering up to eight T1 or E1 circuits over packet-switched networks

■Increased service support via fractional T1/E1 delivery

■Flexible implementation due to standards-based Circuit Emulation Services delivering both SAToP and CESoPSN for bandwidth efficiency and appli- cation flexibility respectively.

■Carrier-grade TDM delivery over best-effort packet networks provided by adaptive timing recovery

■TDM voice quality preserved through automatic jitter buffer management and support for BITS clock input

■Prioritizes voice traffic through VLAN tagging and priority labeling

■Supports remote management through an intuitive CLI inter- face, ADTRAN Total Access EMS, or SNMP

■Configurable Pseudowire payload length for tuning of bandwidth and latency

■Industry leading ten-year warranty

Migration to IP/Ethernet

The prevalence of new Ethernet delivered services requires increased investment in new packet networks. Customers demand the continued support of non-Ethernet services such as TDM voice and data which raises a concern regarding the cost impact of supporting two networks — one IP and one TDM-based. With the ADTRAN® MX408e Pseudowire Gateway, Ethernet service delivery is consolidated onto a single multi-service network supporting the delivery of cost- effective broadband service and legacy service revenue streams. ADTRAN’s pseudowire solution reduces operational costs by retiring expensive TDM leased lines.

Evolution to IP Backhaul

Service Providers are constantly looking for ways to drive down the operating costs of delivering both new broadband and legacy voice services. As Triple Play, 1xEV-DO, PON, HSPA, and IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS), drive the transformation of both the access and core networks to IP, the backhaul network that resides between must keep pace. Since it is difficult to scale TDM backhaul as band- width needs grow, long-term profitability is not viable with TDM-based backhaul.

Pseudowire Extends the Value

of Ethernet Access

ADTRAN Pseudowire Ethernet solutions enable the consolidation of service delivery onto a single network. Operational costs can be significantly reduced by retiring expensive TDM leased lines and consolidating broad- band and TDM voice services onto a single Ethernet network. In many cases, ADTRAN Pseudowire solutions can offer a six month Return On Investment (ROI).
