AimValley launches highly integrated µMSPP system based on
Fujitsu’s MB87M2181 Ethernet-over-SDH device
Embedded World Exhibition: Stand 312, Hall 12.
Langen & Nuremberg, February 13th
2007: Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME), today announces
that AimValley BV of The Netherlands has selected the company’s
MB87M2181 Ethernet-over-SDH/SONET device for its BX10 product family.
The first product in this family, the BX21,
offers Ethernet and PDH
over SDH/SONET functionality and is targeted at wireless backhaul
networks.
“Fujitsu’s MB87M2181 Ethernet-over-SDH/SONET device allows us to
provide our customers with a very compact, easy to install and maintain
system for service aggregation and transport in access and wireless
infrastructure applications“, commented Ino Rots, co-founder of
AimValley BV. “The integrated SERDES and timing functions, the
combination of Ethernet and PDH client interfaces together with an
integrated TDM cross-connect allows us to implement the complete system
at very low-cost to provide our customers with an easy convergence and
migration from PDH to Ethernet services.”
FME’s MB87M2181 device has two STM-1/OC-3, STM-4/OC-12 multi-rate line
interfaces plus two STM-1/OC-3 fixed-rate tributary interfaces that
enable glueless connection to hot-pluggable SFP modules. Four E1/DS1,
four Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet as well as support for a telecom
bus are provided as client interfaces. The device integrates a High
Order and Low Order cross connect, four Virtual Concatenation Groups,
and G.813 SEC / GR-1244 Stratum-3 Network Element clock timing
reference generation. Low-latency and hitless LCAS (G.7042), GFP, LAPS
and PPP mapping of Ethernet frames are also supported.
AimValley’s BX21 is a
next-generation SDH optical access device that
enables true multi-service carrier-grade access network solutions for
tomorrow's converged networks. The cost-effective terminal multiplexer
integrates voice, leased line and packet transport on a compact
platform. The system is designed for customer premises access as well
as metro aggregation networks and is well suited as a transport device
in wireless infrastructures. The system has the following key features:
one STM-1 line interface with a pluggable SFP module, two Fast Ethernet
and four E1 access interfaces and a management LAN port. The compact
design is only 19 inches wide and 1RU high. An intuitive
internet-browser-based user interface enables straightforward
installation and maintenance of the device.
“AimValley’s BX10 family is the basis to enter access applications that
require high quality-of-service, remote management and a compact
footprint. The ease of operation with the internet-based management
interface makes the BX21 a
perfect building block for setting up
reference designs for new applications”, said Dirk Weinsziehr, Senior
Director of Marketing at FME. “It was a pleasure to see how easily and
seamlessly we could integrate the BX21
into the end-to-end
video-streaming solution that FME will demonstrate at the Embedded
World exhibition.”
At Embedded World 2007 (Nuremberg, February 13-15, Stand 312, Hall 12),
FME will demonstrate an end-to-end solution for triple-play services
using Fujitsu’s leading devices for Ethernet mapping, SDH, WiMax and
MPEG combined with the Ethernet switching technology of SwitchCore. The
demonstration will implement different service classes for IP-based
applications running over an SDH-based optical Metropolitan Area
Network, using WiMax as the technology for the last mile transport and
ending in an IP-based set top box that connects to the end-user’s
television set.
