SURPASS hiT 7070
Multi-service provisioning platform Highlights at a glance
SURPASS hiT 70xx series enables true multi-service provisioning and meets the needs of tomorrow ’s converged networks. It is a cost-effective platform that covers the whole range of network applications required for the regional and metro core. SURPASS hiT 7070 has been optimized for both packet and traditional TDM traffic.
SURPASS hiT 7070 has the following key features:
· Non-blocking 160G@VC-4 and nx10G@VC-12 switching granularity
· Integrated packet fabrics (Ethernet, RPR)
· Multi-service platform: 2M, 34/45M, 155M, STM-1/4/16/64, 40G, 10/100BT, GbE, 10 GbE
· GFP mapping, LCAS and support of virtual concatenation for optimal scalability of Ethernet services
· Support of concatenated services (VC-4-4c, VC-4-16c, VC-4-64c)
· A variety of STM-64 interfaces, including WDM variants
· Extensive protection mechanisms (SNCP, MSP, BSHR, hardware) including RPR traffic steering
Major benefits for carriers
· Increased revenue from new services
· Significant OPEX and CAPEX reductions
· Seamless integration into the existing network infrastructure
· Full integration into Siemens’ best-in-class network management system (TNMS)
Increased revenues from new services SURPASS hiT 7070 helps operators achieve an optimal balance between new data services and traditional revenue-generating leased-line services. SURPASS hiT 7070 gives carriers a unique competitive advantage by transporting flexible Ethernet services from business customers using reliable SDH technology. Furthermore, the Ethernet services can be offered with high quality (carrier — grade) as well as best effort service. SURPASS hiT 7070, therefore, not only maximizes the revenue to be gained from existing capacity, but also opens new revenue streams while keeping investments low.
Significant investment and operational cost reductions
SURPASS hiT 7070 is highly scalable:
It allows the operator to start with a basic configuration at lowest price and cost-efficiently upgrade the system in-service step by step. Not only is the bandwidth scalable, but also the number and type of services, bringing all the flexibility the carriers need in today’s telecommunication market. It therefore prepares the operator’s networks for future requirements, allows business — driven growth and assures early time-to — market of new services.
OPEX and CAPEX reductions as well as optimal use of existing resources are the main benefits of SURPASS hiT 7070:
· Convergence of data and voice combined with increased functionality and high integration density significantly reduces the amount of equipment. Considerable lower investment, installation, operational and maintenance costs are the consequence.
· Equipment modularity and flexibility is based on a common pool of all types of interface cards. Furthermore, this common card pool reduces the number of spare parts operators need to stock.
· Optimized bandwidth utilization is guaranteed by Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS).
· The integrated Layer-2 switch module and RPR provide switching and over — booking with customer separation with — out the need of additional platforms and technologies. The carrier is in the position to offer Ethernet services with different service qualities: carrier-grade Ethernet for business customers and best-effort Ethernet for a large amount of additional customers, e.g. residential customers.
· The small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules are customized port features which allow “under-equipping” of interface cards to support different applications cost-effectively. Long-haul and short-haul interfaces can be mixed on one card.
Seamless integration into the existing network infrastructure
SURPASS hiT 7070 protects the installed SDH investment and maintains the operator’s TDM services and revenue.
Full integration into Siemens TNMS
SURPASS hiT 7070 is fully integrated into Siemens’ best-in-class TNMS network management system, which provides end — to-end administration and performance monitoring for the converged next generation SDH network. It also improves operating efficiency, reduces costs for service delivery and simplifies network operations.
Technological advantages
When networks have to be prepared for high-bandwidth traffic growth and unpredictable demand for voice or data services, the main network segment employing SURPASS hiT 7070 is the metro access and metro core area. SURPASS hiT 7070 can be deployed as a UHC feeder, a terminal multiplexer (TMX), an add-drop multiplexer (ADMX), a local cross-connect (LXC) or a multi-ring terminal (MRT) in point-to — point, chain and ring topologies and ring interconnections.
SURPASS hiT 7070 offers:
· Flexible and scalable point-to-point links through use of GFP and LCAS
· Point-to-multipoint connections and aggregation via an integrated Layer-2 switch to build VLAN’s
RPR for metro access where ring topologies dominate. The wide range of applications and services enabled by SURPASS hit 7070 includes:
Bandwidth on demand via GFP mapping and LCAS for Ethernet point-to-point links
· Cost-efficient Metro WDM and DWDM backbone feeding
· Interconnection of corporate networks
· Carrier services that can be offered via Ethernet, leased lines, SDH, VLAN, VPN application, SAN and clear channel
Designed with the future in mind
Siemens closely follows international standards when designing and manufacturing its SURPASS hiT 70xx series multi — service provisioning platforms (e.g. GFP ITU-T G.7041, etc). The flexible architecture of SURPASS hiT 7070 is future-oriented technology:
it allows carriers to scale into the future by upgrading their switching matrix capacity and line rates (STM-256). Moreover, it features transparent service support with integrated Metro WDM technology.
SURPASS hiT 7070 helps carriers significantly cut costs, increase revenue through more efficient and new service delivery, and quickly adapt to customers’ demands. This makes SURPASS hiT 7070 a key investment for profitable and future-proof metropolitan networks.
