Orthogon Systems is extending the
applicability of wireless Ethernet bridges with the introduction of
OS-MUX. The OS-MUX allows users to transport legacy TDM traffic
over the OS-Gemini wireless Ethernet bridge. With the flexibility of
two or four E1/T1 ports plus two Ethernet ports for LAN extension or
connection to a user’s PoP, the
OS-MUX provides a cost-effective solution for extension of
multi-service networks.
How it Works:
The OS-MUX converts the data stream from its user E1/T1 ports into
packets for transmission over the OS-Gemini wireless Ethernet bridge.
These packets are output to the OS-Gemini via the Ethernet port. At
the far end of the radio link, a remote O-MUX converts the packets
back to TDM traffic. Any additional capacity from the OS-Gemini link
is presented to the user at the two user Ethernet ports on the OS-MUX
High performance buffering and forwarding techniques minimize
end-to-end processing delay.
Key product features include:
- TDM leased-line extension over
wireless Ethernet bridges
- Support for both framed and
unframed T1/E1
- Two or four T1/E1 ports
- One radio and two user Ethernet
switch ports
- Dedicated external clock port
- Direct powering from OS-Gemini
PIDU Plus
- QoS support by VLAN
tagging/priority labeling to IEEE 802.1p
- Dynamically controlled fractional
T1/E1 transport, allowing best use of wireless bandwidth when a
limited number of timeslots have to be transferred
- Management via web browser or
SNMP-based NMS
- Compact 1U-high enclosure
The new OS-MUX is ideal for campus
network applications, inter-building PBX and LAN extensions, wireless
ISP backhaul, MSO voice and data services, and telco trunking. For a
cost that is much lower than leasing E1/T1 lines, the OS-MUX provides
an easy-to-implement, carrier-class solution for extending voice or
voice-and-data networks. |
