configuration, installed with CPE in a standard
building or at a cellular tower. In each case, there
isapre-existingcopperconnectioncapableof
carryinganE1/DS1channeloranE3/DS3chan-
nel connected to a legacy synchronous optical
network(SONET)/SDHnetwork.
By inserting the 1850 TSS-3 into the copper
connection,EoPDHisestablished.Ethernet
packetsaremappedtothePDHlinesusinga
standards-compliant mapping mechanism, VCAT/
GFP,withredundancyprovidedbyPDH1+1
protection.IfseveralE1/DS1orE3/DS3linesare
available, they can be bonded together to create
a higher-bandwidth uplink.

based FE or GigE is converted to optical Ethernet for transmission over longer distances than are
possible with copper lines. Transmission complies with the Ethernet in the first mile (EFM) standard,
bringing the service provider’s Ethernet domain right up to the customer’s building or cell site.
