A New Formula for Success

Minimize Equipment Costs

Now a single integrated platform delivers the key capabilities needed in today’s challenging telecommunications environment. The AnyMedia® Line Access Gateway (LAG) combines exceptional multi-service flexibility with high port densities – and an IP/Ethernet option. As a result, a wide range of circuit and packet traffic can co-exist on the same integrated platform, which leverages infrastructure, minimizes operating costs and simplifies evolution to packet networks. Using “plug-and-play” application packs, the AnyMedia® LAG also makes it easier to generate additional income, because service providers can quickly launch new services, respond immediately to changing customer demands and take advantage of emerging markets.

These powerful capabilities make the AnyMedia® LAG ideal for launching IP services today – while continuing to support POTS – then migrating to packet networks with minimal capital investment. With a choice of capacities, this high-density platform also enables cost-effective switch consolidation and growth applications. And it can take the network seamlessly into the future.

The AnyMedia® LAG saves money because its multi- service architecture eliminates the need for overlay networks and forklift upgrades. Instead, service providers simply add application packs to the AnyMedia® LAG shelf whenever needed to incorporate new technologies and support the latest services – including IP/Ethernet. With this approach, providers can build DSL and packet capabilities incrementally while maintaining cost-effective POTS support – and evolve at a pace that’s right for the network. The design efficiencies of the AnyMedia® LAG allow providers to use fewer network components and switch interfaces, reducing expenditures even further.

Evolve to VoIP on your terms

The AnyMedia® LAG supports both centralized and distributed VoIP architectures. This allows you to determine if it is best to convert traffic from TDM interfaces to VoIP on a per shelf basis or on a per card basis. This flexibility to support any network topology allows AnyMedia® LAG solutions to fit to your evolution plans, simplifying integration and saving money.

The AnyMedia® LAG supports POTS, ISDN, IP/Ethernet and DSL all on an integrated platform.

Economize on POTS and New IP Services

The AnyMedia® LAG offers a choice of capacities with industry-leading port densities. The AnyMedia® LAG 4300 can support up to 2,752 POTS lines on a single shelf – or up to 5,504 lines per cabinet. With more than twice the capacity of any other AnyMedia® Access System, this platform has been optimized to help deliver traditional voice services more cost effectively. When providers want to reduce the number of switches in the network – or support more subscribers in a single location – the AnyMedia® LAG 4300 provides the streamlined power required.

The AnyMedia® LAG 2300 offers a cost-effective way to launch new IP applications, including VoIP and IP video services. It supports up to 512 POTS lines per shelf, or any combination of DSL, POTS, ISDN, IP/Ethernet and special services. Easily deployed in a wide variety of locations, this mid-sized platform can help respond to changing market requirements with outstanding efficiency.

The AnyMedia® LAG 1900 offers the same VoIP and IP video capabilities as the AnyMedia® LAG 2300 while fitting into standard 19-inch data racks. It supports up to 896 POTS lines per shelf.

Line Access Gateway specifications

Riverstone Networks Line Access Gateway (LAG) is a pioneering solution designed for network service providers aiming to deliver high-speed broadband services over various access technologies. This device plays a crucial role in enhancing last-mile connectivity, allowing operators to efficiently manage and distribute broadband traffic to customers.

One of the standout features of the Riverstone LAG is its support for multiple access technologies, including DSL, fiber optics, and Ethernet. This flexibility enables operators to cater to diverse customer needs, whether it be residential or business services. The LAG effectively bridges the gap between different access methods, ensuring seamless integration into existing networks.

The LAG is equipped with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which allow service providers to prioritize traffic based on specific criteria. This ensures that critical applications, such as VoIP and video streaming, receive the bandwidth they require, while less critical traffic can be managed accordingly. By implementing these QoS features, providers can deliver enhanced user experiences and maintain customer satisfaction.

Another essential characteristic of the Riverstone LAG is its scalability. Designed to accommodate growing network demands, the LAG can easily scale to support an increasing number of users and devices without compromising performance. This scalability is particularly important in today’s digital landscape, where the demand for bandwidth continues to rise due to streaming services, online gaming, and remote work.

Reliability and redundancy are also paramount in the design of the Riverstone LAG. With built-in failover mechanisms and support for disaster recovery, service providers can ensure continuous service availability. This level of reliability is critical for maintaining customer trust and minimizing service interruptions.

Furthermore, the Riverstone LAG is built with comprehensive management capabilities, providing operators with the tools necessary to monitor network performance and troubleshoot issues in real time. The integration of advanced analytics not only aids in proactive network management but also helps in optimizing resource allocation.

In summary, the Riverstone Networks Line Access Gateway stands out as a versatile, scalable, and reliable solution for broadband delivery. With its support for multiple access technologies, robust QoS mechanisms, and comprehensive management features, it empowers service providers to meet the growing demands of their customers while ensuring high-quality service delivery. As the telecommunications landscape evolves, the LAG remains a vital component for operators looking to stay competitive in an ever-changing environment.
