The Optimux-134/125 features a Fast Ethernet port that enables a full 100-Mbps Ethernet connection, along with the capacity for 16 E1 channels or 16 T1 channels. Transmission on each tributary channel is independent, as the product transparently carries data and clock signals over each TDM link. These new Optimux solutions were specifically designed to meet the needs of carrier and service provider applications, mobile operators, and large enterprises.
“The migration to all-packet networks undoubtedly impacts the infrastructure and services of telecommunications companies,” says Elad Harf, Optimux product line manager at RAD Data Communications. “However, a huge customer base remains that demands both legacy TDM and new packet-switched services,” Harf continues. “Because it’s a single-device solution, the Optimux-134/125 allows carriers and service providers to respond to these customer needs while reducing their CapEx and OpEx.”
“Mobile operators will find the new Optimux fiber multiplexers ideal for seamlessly deploying 2G, 3G, and HSPA voice backhaul over fiber from rural locations to a central site,” Harf explains. “In such applications, the Optimux acts as a fiber extender over long distances, eliminating the need to deploy multiple devices along the route.”
“The Optimux-134 and Optimux-125 can also be installed to share TDM and Ethernet multiservices for voice and data connectivity, using a point-to-point topology over dark fiber,” Harf adds. “They meet the needs of university campuses, hospitals and healthcare organizations, financial institutions, government offices, and military installations.”
The Optimux-134 and Optimux-125 are part of RAD's AXCESS+ portfolio of solutions for multiservice and first-mile access. AXCESS+ offers a wide range of data rates over narrowband and broadband across fiber, copper, and wireless infrastructure. AXCESS+ provides a highly integrated migration path from legacy packet-switched interconnect networks and services to next-generation solutions.
