E1/T1 Pseudowire Gateway
Supports SAToP & CESoPSN for Delivering TDM Services over an IP Ethernet Infrastructure
Features:
Overview
E1 and T1 TDM services are still in use worldwide for a range of applications. Over the years, many customers have made significant investments in equipment and processes that depend on the specific features that TDM offers, making it difficult or disruptive for them to move to alternative services. Meanwhile, telecommunications operators are moving to packet based IP/Ethernet networks as the support costs for maintaining equipment grows and service quality is difficult to guarantee on older networks.
The Virtual Access GW7950 E1/T1 Series Pseudowire Gateway resolves this conflict by allowing operators to maintain TDM services over a packet mode infrastructure, thereby eliminating customer disruption. The Virtual Access GW7950 E1/T1 Series Pseudowire Gateway is a versatile high performance platform for emulating legacy TDM services over an IP-based packet switching network.
The GW7950 is available in several models with a choice of four or eight E1/T1 ports. It has several WAN interface options with support for copper or SFP Ethernet ports.
The GW7950 Series routers are rack mountable and incorporate integrated AC or DC power supplies for data centre environments. Optionally, dual power supplies can be supported.
SAToP Mode Pseudowire
Structure Agnostic Transport over Packet (SAToP) mode transports the raw E1/T1 bitstream over the packet network. There is no recognition of any framing in the stream.
CESoPSN Mode Pseudowire
Circuit Emulation Service over Packet Switched Network (CESoPSN) transports a structured E1/T1 circuit over the packet network. The main advantage of CESoPSN compared to SAToP is the ability to transport a fractional E1/T1 circuit without carrying the unused time slots.
Automated Router Provisioning
The GW7950 Series offers simplicity when it comes to service provisioning. Using the centralised service management models from Virtual Access, the task of physical device configuration is minimised.
Profiles are configured centrally enabling rapid services deployment to the end customer sites. This process offers service providers considerable business benefits in large scale router deployments.
Automated Subscriber Data Migration using OSS Integrator
The OSS Integrator is an Activator plug-in that provides a mediation fuction between Activator and the service provider’s Operational Support System (OSS) that allows Activator to obtain device or customer specific information from the OSS.
OSS Integrator can be used to automate the migration of the customer’s subscriber data from existing systems to the new Virtual Access systems. Typically, the process is as follows:
• Virtual Access generates a specification of the subscriber data to be extracted from the database and transferred to Activator
• The subscriber configuration data is exported from the existing customer system
• The subscriber configuration data is imported to Activator
• Activator generates the configuration files and distributes them to the network
Provisioning Simplified
The network is simpler to configure than the legacy network since only the ingress and egress end points need to be configured, thereby greatly simplifying configuration and troubleshooting.
