Description:

The AEX-100 is a carrier-grade Pseudowire aggregator providing converged access of TDM and Ethernet based services over a core or metro Ethernet network. Capable of supporting multiple pseudowire CPE, the AEX-100 allows end customers and carriers to use a metro Ethernet network to carry converged services with minimal risk and minimal capital investment.

Features:

• 1U hardened, micro-footprint, with 2 slots for UNI service modules, including:
• Fast Ethernet – 8 10/100 ports
• GbE – 1 port
• OC-3/STM-1 (channelized)– 1 port
• DS-3 – 3 ports
• E1/T1 – 16 ports using DB connector
• Converged TDM/packet access
• All-packet architecture
• Point-to-point ring support
• Sub 50-msec restoration using new standard ITU-T G.8032
