AAC-3®, AAC-2™, and CellSMART®

Description

The AAC family offers a flexible, modular architecture, allowing you to choose the most cost-effective service for each application and manage everything from a single platform. Each AAC contains slots for Protocol Modules (PM) that determine the traffic type—ATM, Frame Relay or Ethernet—and Physical Layer Modules (PLM) that determine the physical interface. The broad array of available Protocol and Physical Layer Modules meets the needs of a variety of customers, including enterprise, service provider, government and military.

The AAC family comprises three models to deliver a full range of access options at a variety of price points.

▼

The AAC-3offers the highest levels of

 

connectivity and scalability, supporting speeds

 

ranging from T1/E1 to OC-3c/STM-1. Its

 

modular chassis supports up to seven PM/PLM

 

pairs, making it an ideal hubbing device for

 

enterprise networks or a port fan-out device

 

for service distribution.

▼

The AAC-2provides economical integration

 

of services over public and private networks at

 

speeds ranging from T1/E1 to OC-3c/STM-1. Its

 

smaller chassis supports up to three PM/PLM

 

pairs, making it suitable for mid-sized locations

 

that need to connect voice, video and data

 

traffic to the WAN.

▼

The CellSMART 200 IMA series is ideal for

 

medium- to high-speed data applications

 

that require NxT1/E1 access using Inverse

 

Multiplexing for ATM (IMA). A variety of

 

models are available with V.35, HSSI,

 

Ethernet, T3/E3 or OC-3c/STM-1 user ports.

The high port density and modular architecture lets each network grow and upgrade at a minimal cost. As service or application needs change, customers just add or switch modules while maintaining

a common chassis and management interface. For instance, using an Octal IMA Physical Layer Module, you can steadily add T1/E1 circuits as your bandwidth needs increase. When eight T1 or E1 lines become insufficient, you can switch to a T3/E3 Physical Layer Module. You do not need to replace the Protocol Module, because it can now be paired with the new T3/E3 Physical Layer Module.
