Operational Description
The Wide Bank 28 STS-1 Access Multiplexer cost-effectively
delivers T1 service connections from SONET STS-1 electrical
interfaces. This addition to Carrier Access' proven Wide Bank family
offers new capabilities in high-bandwidth access technology, building
on the advanced features of the Wide Bank 28 DS3 Access Multiplexer.
The Wide Bank 28 STS-1 Access Multiplexer reduces the
overall cost of deploying T1 services at carrier switch, co-location,
and on-net building locations. Carriers deploying high-capacity OC-48,
OC-3 OC-12 SONET ADMs in metropolitan networks find that it is not
cost effective to fill these new high-capacity ADMs with low-speed T1
cards. Carrier Access' Wide Bank 28 STS-1 Access Multiplexer
eliminates the expense of transmuxing DS3 over SONET and the problem
of stranded bandwidth capacity within the SONET shelf, while greatly
decreasing the cost per T1 connection provided to customers.
High-capacity SONET ADMs and digital radios can be more economically
deployed to provide T1 services.
Using only one rack unit of space, the Wide Bank 28 STS-1
Access Multiplexer optimizes valuable space in central office,
co-location, or digital loop carrier cabinets. Up to 588 T1 service
connections can be equipped in a 7-foot rack by using the Wide Bank 28
STS-1 Access Multiplexer with Carrier Access' vertical mounting
option. Please contact Carrier Access for rack application and
configurations. Services can be added in scalable quad T1 increments,
suiting applications from small outside cabinets to large switching
centers.
The Wide Bank 28 STS-1 Access Multiplexer offers SNMP,
Telnet, and TL1 management and monitoring to the VT1.5 tributary-based
DSX-1 services, enabling carriers to gain the cost and management
advantages of STS-1 interconnections in a very compact, scalable
network product.
