High Level Features

  • TDM over Packet solution for DS1/E1
  • CESoPSN and SAToP TDM mappings
  • Jitter and wander compliant to G.8261 and G.823/G.824
  • Integrated framers and dual GbE ports
  • Applications:
    • TDM over Packet CPE
    • TDM over Packet aggregation nodes
    • Wireless backhaul systems
    • Wireline network migration

Overview

The AC2150 TDM over Packet device implements Circuit Emulation Services Interworking Functions (CES IWF) for 32 DS1/E1 TDM channels.

Each of the TDM ports may be asynchronously clocked on ingress and the reassembly function supports independent clock recovery for the TDM data on egress. Each channel operates in either adaptive and differential clock recovery mode.

The AC2150 implements the IETF and MEF8 defined SAToP and CESoPSN modes. These allow transport of either the full DS1/E1 channels, or bandwidth efficient fractional channels. The integrated DS1/E1 framers enable fault and performance monitoring, including test pattern insertion and loopback. The device supports Ethernet, VLAN and MPLS PWE3 packet headers and a dual Ethernet interface.

The device is ideally prepared for new protocols or  standards evolution due to its FPGA based design.
