Flexible and efficient aggregation and transport, meeting the evolving needs of multiservice access networks.
1850 TSS-5: Where TDM
and Ethernet Services Coexist
The 1850 TSS-5 is a compact, modular, optical transport switch with the functionality to carry TDM traffic from 1.544 Mb/s interface/2.048 Mb/s interface (T1/E1) to optical channel level 12 (OC-12), and packet traffic from 10 Mb to Gigabit Ethernet (GigE). It is recommended for use where TDM and Ethernet services coexist.
Less than 125 mm (5 in.) tall, the 1850 TSS-5’s small footprint is designed to extend optical transport to the customer premises. It is ideal for mobility backhaul from the cell site and for fiber-to-the-business (FTTB) and end-user-access applications. The 1850 TSS-5 is environmentally hardened, making it suitable for mounting in outdoor cabinets or at cell towers.
Pseudo-wire support of circuit emulation services (CES) makes the 1850 TSS-5 ideal for cell-tower backhaul and the smooth transition from TDM to third-generation mobile system (3G) and fourth-generation mobile system (4G) networks. It has small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optics, allowing the optics to be purchased separately from the circuit packs and plugged in when additional interfaces are needed. This design lowers initial capital expenditures (CAPEX), making the 1850 TSS-5 capacity easily scalable.
