Fujitsu's MB87M2181 Ethernet-over-SDH device chosen by AimValley for highly integrated micro MSPP system
Embedded World Exhibition: Stand 312, Hall 12.
Langen & Nuremberg, 13th February 2007 — Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME), today announces that AimValley BV of The Netherlands has selected the company'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, co-founder of AimValley BV. "The integrated SERDES and timing functions, the combination of Ethernet and PDH client interfaces together with an integrated TDM cross-connect 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 multi-rate 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 cross connect, 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 multi-service 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 19 inches 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. "It was a pleasure to see how easily and seamlessly we could integrate the BX21 into the end-to-end video-streaming solution that FME will demonstrate at the Embedded World exhibition."
At Embedded World 2007 (Nuremberg, February 13-15, Stand 312, Hall 12), FME will demonstrate an end-to-end solution for triple-play services using Fujitsu's leading devices for Ethernet mapping, SDH, WiMax and MPEG combined with the Ethernet switching technology of SwitchCore. The demonstration will implement different service classes for IP-based applications running over an SDH-based optical Metropolitan Area Network, using WiMax as the technology for the last mile transport and ending in an IP-based set top box that connects to the end-user's television set.
