Overview
Overview
The Compact T1 Multi-service Delivery Terminal is the ideal solution for delivering
carrier-quality broadband voice and data services to small- and medium-sized
businesses. It enables ISPs, ILECs, MSOs, IXCs, CLECs, and wireless mobility
carriers to offer their customers a wide variety of voice and high-speed data services
using the most economical broadband transport. The Compact T1 defines a new class
of equipment that combines multi-network access and multi-service delivery into one
platform. The result is an extremely cost-effective, compact, flexible solution that
enables service providers to deliver business voice, IP, high-speed data, and private line
services using the most economical broadband access available over wireline and
wireless networks.
The modular Compact T1 platform supports the needs of service providers faced with
a changing array of network technologies, transport media, and customer service
interfaces. Its expandable architecture allows service providers to scale across service
types, network architectures, and bandwidth requirements to fit a dynamic service
delivery environment. Hot-swappable service cards provide the physical, electrical,
and logical connections for customer service demarcations, PBX interfaces, LAN to
WAN connectivity, and network access. Customer interface types include Routed
Ethernet, FXS, FXO/DPT, V.35, V.35/V.54, OCU-DP, ISDN BRI and T1. Any service
card can be placed in any of the six available slots. New revenue-generating services
can be added easily by installing a new card. In addition, the Customer Media Gateway
(CMG) Service Card enables the unit to provide a cost-effective migration path to
packet-based softswitching infrastructures using the MGCP protocol for both existing
TDM-based infrastructures and Greenfield VoIP applications.
