Channelized SONET/SDH over Packet Transceiver T1/E1

Ciena’s Channelized SONET/SDH over Packet Transceiver enables cost-effective transport of T1/E1 or low-fill SONET/SDH streams over packet. The Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module encapsulates an OC3/STM-1 stream from its user port as a pseudowire for transmission over a Packet-Switched Network (PSN). Each T1/E1 channel within the stream can be processed individually to create a high-density gateway between a TDM and an Ethernet or IP/MPLS network. Frames are transmitted via a 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) port on the host device through one or more PSNs (in the case of multiple operators, for example). At the remote end, frames are converted back to TDM traffic for handoff as TDM services.

Features and benefits

  1. Integrates structure-agnostic TDM over packet (SAToP) technology into a cost-effective module, reducing system and network complexity while offering lower carbon footprint for significant CAPEX and OPEX savings

  2. Aggregates T1/E1 into channelized SAToP links and enables each T1/E1 to be processed individually to provide a high-density gateway function between TDM and Ethernet or IP/MPLS networks

  3. Provides a duplex fiber interface using 1310nm FP laser for 15km intermediate reach via singlemode fiber

  4. Operates at industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°)

  5. Eliminates TDM leased-line costs

  6. Delivers plug-and-play operation while interoperating with other SAToP equipment, including SFPs, in Ciena’s Pluggable Transceiver Family
