The Tellabs® 5500 NGX-S Transport Switch
combines digital cross-connect and SONET transport technologies on one platform for unprecedented bandwidth management.
The Tellabs 5500 NGX-S switch combines cross-connect and ADM capability in a compact single-shelf system. Perfect for smaller applications in wireless, wireline or cable provider networks, the Tellabs 5500 NGX-S switch delivers an outstanding complement of bandwidth management features designed to scale with your business, deliver new services and speed responsiveness to your customers.
Tellabs NGX-S Transport Switch: Exceptional Performance
The Tellabs 5500 NGX-S switch combines high-density cross-connect, wideband and broadband capabilities in an outstanding next-generation platform. Direct any-to-any connectivity at circuit levels from DS-1 to OC-48, support for high-density optics on every slot, and full VT-1.5 grooming capabilities help enable maximum traffic control, performance monitoring and maintenance. With support for up to 18,816 VT 1.5s on a single shelf and circuit-level TSI function distributed to individual interface cards and matched for port speed and density, providers pay only for the cross-connect capability required as port capacity grows.
Featuring a low start-up cost, small footprint and pay-as-you-grow bandwidth management scalability, the Tellabs 5500 NGX-S switch helps enable customer-tailored, cost-optimized system growth. Overall network costs are significantly reduced as well. Beginning with its capability as a low-cost DCS system, the Tellabs 5500 NGX-S switch continues to pay back by eliminating hidden growth and operational costs typical of both ADM- and M13-based alternatives.
Customer Benefits:
- Architecture versatility permits all I/O slots to support any module type, as well as non-blocking connectivity at any circuit level from DS-1 to STS-Nc.
- Every slot supports dense, high-speed optical connectivity with full transmultiplexing and drill down visibility into VT — and even M13 DS-1 payloads — for maximum traffic control, monitoring and maintenance.
- Save up to 30% in CapEx and OpEx over current network deployments by fully integrating bandwidth management and transport functions.
- Eliminate hidden future growth and operational costs typical of stacked Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) solutions deployed in DCS applications.
Product Features:
- A high-density, single-stage switch fabric supporting TDM traffic management
- Protected system capacity of 9408 VT1.5s / 336 STS-1s
- High-density DS-3 module increases DS-3 capability by three-fold per module
- Restriction-free universal slots yield tremendous flexibility and density
- Robust SONET-based ring support
- Integration of SONET ADM, wideband and broadband DCS and M13 transport functionality
