The XMC20 product family consolidates KEYMILE's strategic focus on solutions for mission-critical networks. The target groups for this product family are mission-critical telecommunications network operators belonging to railway, oil and gas pipeline companies, energy utilities, airport authorities, and local emergency response networks. KEYMILE uses the XMC20 to support network operators in migrating existing TDM-based telecommunications networks to packet-based services.
The XMC20 product range is distinguished by a number of outstanding attributes. A single network element offers both native TDM and Ethernet functionality. This flexibility is made possible by the XMC20's hybrid system architecture and numerous Ethernet and TDM interfaces. A variety of transmission technologies based on different methods are available. The XMC20 has several powerful functions, making it ideal for buffer management and data synchronization, particularly for real-time distributed applications and dedicated mobile networks. Network operators can also run the XMC20 as an MPLS-TP node, an SDH/PDH multiplexer, or a combination of both without restricting other transmission functionality. The XMC20 product range offers various gateways for interfacing technologies, including TDM over IP with circuit emulation over packets, VoIP with SIP, and Ethernet over SDH. Comprehensive QoS (Quality of Service) features, a robust design, excellent scalability for high availability under any conditions, and a range of protection and redundancy functions ensure efficient, secure, and reliable data transmission.
"KEYMILE develops and manufactures its systems, which are exceptional for their excellent fail-safe performance and long lifespan, in Germany and Switzerland," says Axel Föry, Managing Director of the KEYMILE Group in Hanover, Germany. "As a result, we ensure that they meet not only the relevant industry standards, but also the requirements imposed by mission-critical network operators, which include high levels of availability and low maintenance requirements. The XMC20 also doesn't need a fan, so it has a sealed, energy-efficient design."
Connectivity with plastic fiber and 60 GHz Wi-Fi
Telefónica has presented a pioneering innovation project in Spain based on plastic optical fiber (POF), a home connectivity solution that is easy to install and guarantees speeds of up to 1Gbps for customers.
