Help reduce operating costs with a single, scalable platform
The PacketStar® PSAX Multiservice Media Gateways are a portfolio of products that provide broadband access and convergence in the mission-critical access to edge space. With this portfolio, you can consolidate disparate access network elements into a single, multiservice platform to help generate profits and reduce operating costs.
PacketStar® PSAX media gateways are scaled to match a range of access-to-edge environments, from small hub locations to the central office, so you don’t invest in more equipment than you need.
Applications
•Multiservice Aggregation – Ethernet, IP, FR, CES and ATM, plus Voice, and xDSL
•Access Convergence – Voice, Video, Wireless Data over MPLS
•Voice Solutions – Cost Effective, scalable, standards based solution (GR303/v5.2, H.248) with rich voice processing features
•IP Service Selection & Aggregation – Concentrating IP to ATM and IP/MPLS core with guaranteed QoS and scalable bandwidth management
•Mobility Backhaul Solutions – Aggregation, grooming, and consolidated traffic transport
•CDMA, CDMA 1xEV-DO, CDMA 2000 Migration
•TDMA to GSM/EDGE to 3G/UMTS Migration
All PacketStar® PSAX media gateways deliver high performance and high capacity in a small footprint. Whether used for intelligent voice and data aggregation, call control, high-density transport, or simple multiplexing, they provide you with a single, scalable, and highly available solution.
With the PacketStar® PSAX media gateways, you can bring intelligence to the edge of your network and help cut the cost of building and deploying new broadband networks while maintaining full compatibility with existing infrastructures.
Introduce high margin services rapidly
PacketStar® PSAX media gateways provide any-service, any-channel flexibility that lets you create innovative, software-selectable, service provisioning options. You only need one system to support your customers’ service needs, including high-quality, high-capacity
voice services. And, using the PacketStar® PSAX media gateways’ unique, high-density multiservice modules, with up to 24 individual T1s or 3 DS3s per slot, you can rapidly introduce innovative, high margin services. With the PacketStar PSAX portfolio, circuit emulation, frame relay (FR) and ATM traffic can coexist in N x 64 blocks within the same T1/E1 line. You can maximize circuit utilization by provisioning these protocols granularly, on a DS0 by DS0 basis, bundled or unbundled, contiguous or noncontiguous. For example, if you need to simultaneously deploy three technologies such as ATM, TDM, and frame relay, only one module is needed, saving valuable slots and costs. Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) is also included on some multiservice modules to further reduce required slots while increasing flexibility.
With the Enhanced Router Module, the PacketStar® PSAX media gateway family delivers cost-effective multiservice interworking to IP with QoS in addition to multiservice layer 2 VPNs. The PacketStar® PSAX product family now delivers complete services interworking between Ethernet and IP, plus FR, HDLC, and ATM. This functionality augments services capability while minimizing capital expenditures.

Reduce network complexity and simplify operations
The PacketStar® PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway portfolio lets you achieve convergence by collapsing multiple technologies into a single, scalable platform that is centrally managed. Parallel networks that once required separate equipment scenarios can be consolidated cost-effectively with minimum capital outlay. Convergence, plus the system’s multiservice and multimedia versatility, eliminate the need for multiple switches, reducing network complexity and simplifying operations. A simpler network structure also reduces the need for physical channel management and reduces the burden on core switches.
