or structure. They simply regard the data as an arbitrary bit stream. All data bits are simply

transported to a defined destination encapsulated in IP/MPLS packets. Some primary applications

(Figure 2) include:

●

Transporting 2G and 3G network traffic over packet networks, for mobile operators. Mobile

service providers are implementing High-Speed Data Networks (HSxPA) to support new

revenue-generating services. The SPA is uniquely positioned for multigenerational

migration of mobile networks (2G and 3G), simultaneously carrying TDM and ATM traffic

over IP/MPLS networks. This technology provides a mechanism to enable IP/MPLS to the

cell site, which can eventually be in place to transport the mobile traffic over IP from end to

end.

●

T1/E1 circuit emulation for leased-line replacement.

●

PBX to PBX connectivity over PSN.

●

High-density SS7 backhaul over IP/MPLS.

●

Inter-MSC connectivity.

●

Preencrypted data for government, defense, or other high-security applications.

●

Proprietary synchronous or asynchronous data protocols used in transportation, utilities,

and other industries.

●

Leased-line emulation service offerings in metropolitan (metro) Ethernet or WAN service

provider environments.

ATM Applications

Service Provider Infrastructures

The SPA can be deployed for ATM service, which provides high-performance interconnectivity,

metro, and intra-POP applications between service provider POPs for IP/MPLS transport. It can

also be deployed as customer premises equipment (CPE) to provide the data component to the

service provider networks.

The ATM service allows service providers to effectively manage the bandwidth at the edges of the

network while implementing value-added Layer 3 services. Advanced traffic management features

(such as per-VC and per-VP traffic shaping) can also be used to help ensure that traffic from one

customer does not affect traffic from another.

With advanced traffic shaping features and support for many ATM service classes, the SPA can be

widely deployed in many parts of the service provider network. (See Figure 3.)
