Ethernet-over-SDH/Sonet IC enables
optical access

AimValley of The Netherlands has used Fujitsu's MB87M2181 Ethernet-over-SDH/Sonet device for its BX10 product family.

AimValley of The Netherlands has used Fujitsu's MB87M2181 Ethernet-over-SDH/Sonet device for its BX10 product family The first product in this family, the BX21, offers Ethernet and PDH over SDH/Sonet functionality and is targeted at wireless backhaul networks

"Fujitsu's MB87M2181 Ethernet-over-SDH/Sonet device allows us to provide our customers with a very compact, easy to install and maintain system for service aggregation and transport in access and wireless infrastructure applications", commented Ino Rots, cofounder of AimValley.

"The integrated serdes and timing functions, the combination of Ethernet and PDH client interfaces together with an integrated TDM crossconnect allows us to implement the complete system at very low-cost to provide our customers with an easy convergence and migration from PDH to Ethernet services".

FME's MB87M2181 device has two STM-1/OC-3, STM-4/OC-12 multirate line interfaces plus two STM-1/OC-3 fixed-rate tributary interfaces that enable glueless connection to hot-pluggable SFP modules.

Four E1/DS1, four Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet as well as support for a telecom bus are provided as client interfaces.

The device integrates a high order and low order crossconnect, four virtual concatenation groups, and G.813 SEC/GR-1244 Stratum-3 Network Element clock timing reference generation.

Low-latency and hitless LCAS (G.7042), GFP, LAPS and PPP mapping of Ethernet frames are also supported.

AimValley's BX21 is a next-generation SDH optical access device that enables true multiservice carrier-grade access network solutions for tomorrow's converged networks.

The cost-effective terminal multiplexer integrates voice, leased line and packet transport on a compact platform.

The system is designed for customer premises access as well as metro aggregation networks and is well suited as a transport device in wireless infrastructures.

The system has the following key features: one STM-1 line interface with a pluggable SFP module, two Fast Ethernet and four E1 access interfaces and a management LAN port.

The compact design is only 19in wide and 1RU high.

An intuitive internet-browser-based user interface enables straightforward installation and maintenance of the device.

"AimValley's BX10 family is the basis to enter access applications that require high quality of service, remote management and a compact footprint".

"The ease of operation with the Internet-based management interface makes the BX21 a perfect building block for setting up reference designs for new applications", said Dirk Weinsziehr, Senior Director of Marketing at FME. Request a free brochure from Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe ...
