DXC-100
Multiservice Access Node
DXC-100 is a scalable multiservice access node
that enables the incremental deployment of
voice and data networks. As the networks grow,
up to eight DXC-100 units can be stacked to
provide very high density grooming,
concentration and cross connect.
Scalable platform with minimal initial
investment
The modular, 6U-high DXC-100 is the newest
member of the DXC family of multiservice
access nodes. Each high density chassis
supports 80 n x 56/64 kbps, 88 E1, 88 T1, 11
E3, 11 T3, four STM-1, or four OC-3 links. Up to
eight chassis can be stacked to support up to
640 n x 56/64 kbps, 688 E1, 688 T1, 80 E3,
80 T3, 32 STM-1, or eight OC-3 lines, for a
powerful, central site solution. (See the system
capacity table on page 103 for more details.)
The scalable platform enables a carrier to deploy
a low cost system that meets its current
requirements and add more ports as its
customer base grows.
Manages bandwidth for diverse voice and
data applications
DXC-100 satisfies a wide range of broadband
and narrowband applications for carriers, cellular
operators, ISPs, utility companies, and
enterprises. Applications include E1/T1
conversion, high speed access to a carrier’s
backbone, grooming fractional trunks into full
trunks, maximizing data traffic payload over E3,
T3, STM-1 or OC-3 trunks, grooming data traffic
from different locations into a channelized
Ethernet router, and grooming monitoring
signals for quality of service or advanced
services. It optimizes the SS7 network by
consolidating n x 56/64 kbps and E1/T1
functionality in a single, cost-effective, managed
device. The DXC-100 can also aggregate
Ethernet traffic from several remote sites via
different trunks (for example, ISP or corporate
traffic) into one stream by using the channelized
router module. Operating as a digital cross
connect, the DXC-100 provides 4/3/1/0
non-blocking switching that is comparable to
larger, more costly systems.
Protects investment in legacy networks
The DXC-100 can connect copper-based edge
devices and networks to a fiber-based core, and
performs port concentration and grooming for
protocol-based platforms. Therefore, the
DXC-100 provides a migration path to optical
and packet switched networks. The channelized
router enables grooming traffic, saving the cost
of additional equipment or ports.
