FLASHWAVE 4270

Fujitsu's FLASHWAVE 4x70 Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP) series provides telecommunication carriers and service providers with a powerful solution to survive their fiercely competitive industry.

Integrating reliable and intelligent SDH functionality and efficient Ethernet aggregation and switching into a compact body, the FLASHWAVE 4x70 MSPP enables both traditional voice-based services and increasingly diverse data services to be delivered over a unified optical network.

Enriched with next-generation SDH functionality, the FLASHWAVE 4x70 MSPP allows carriers to not only simplify their network, but also to efficiently, flexibly, and dynamically use network bandwidth with a simple management procedure. In this way, the FLASHWAVE 4x70 MSPP helps to satisfy the growing end-user's demand in an increasing variety of broadband services at a substantially reduced cost.

The FLASHWAVE 4270 is an STM-16 MSPP optimized for Metro Aggregation and Access applications.
Typical node configurations are:

• Dual STM-16 rings with 24 x STM-1 lines
• Single STM-16 ring with 8 x STM-4 and 24 x STM-1lines
• Single STM-16 ring with 189 x E1, 8 x FE (Transparent), 4 x GE + 16 x FE (L2 switching)

Key Benefits

• High-density STM-16-based platform to support dual STM-16 rings in a single node.
• Flexible subrack architecture with 11 interface slots and six connector slots.
• All-in-one-box solution to satisfy network and service demands from STM-16, STM-4, STM-1, STM-1E, E3, DS3, and E1, to Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
• Reliable optical network supported by traffic protection schemes such as 1+1 MSP, SNCP, and 2-fiber MS-SPRing for SDH layer as well as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for Ethernet layer.
• Next-generation SDH functionality such as General Framing Protocol (GFP), Virtual Concatenations (VCAT), and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) functions for dynamic bandwidth allocation, adjustments, and protection.
• Non-blocking switching matrix with a capacity optimal for metro networks; 25 Gbps for high-order VC and 10 Gbps for low-order VC.
• Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) interfaces to deliver optical rate and parameter flexibility on a per-port basis.
• Common interface cards with FLASHWAVE 4470.

Ethernet Transport Features

• Data service applications including EPL (Ethernet Private Line), EVPL (Ethernet Virtual Private Line), EPLAN (Ethernet Private LAN), and EVPLAN (Ethernet Virtual Private LAN).
• Layer 2 processing to reduce bandwidth requirements, and therefore enable cost-effective data transport over the SDH infrastructure.
• VLANs or double-tagged VLANs to enable 802.1p QoS/CoS, as well as segregation of traffic flows, and thereby increase security without sacrificing bandwidth efficiency or network flexibility.
• Advanced Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) technology to provide high-reliable and efficient data transport with QoS control.

Management Features

• Speedy operation and maintenance through local craft terminal FLEXR L.
• Network element and sub-network-based management system FLEXR C, supporting all the FLASHWAVE 4x70 products, to enable seamless management of all SDH, PDH, and Ethernet layers.
