Ethernet Service Aggregation Platform
ETX-5 is a powerful access aggregation platform that offers, with ETX-2 and MiNID, Service Assured Access (SAA) solutions for building optimised access networks. ETX-5 provides first level aggregation at the POP, E-NNI inter-carrier demarcation and delivers TDM pseudowire traffic from the access network to the provider edge over Ethernet links.
This 3U modular system features high port density for space-restricted facilities. The fault-tolerant hardware design with fully redundant timing, management and power sub-systems, prevents service downtime. ETX-5 features non-blocking architecture, allowing wire-speed forwarding of all packet sizes. It is designed for high availability and “Always-On” service.
ETX-5 is Carrier Ethernet 2.0-certified and can be utilised for carrier-to-carrier connectivity applications complying with MEF 26, as well as for high capacity grooming of Ethernet OAM and performance monitoring sessions. It is ideal for service providers and critical infrastructure to deliver SLA-based business services, legacy TDM service emulation and mobile backhaul, over Ethernet.
