FLASHWAVE 4370

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 4370 is an STM-4/STM-16 MSPP optimized for Metro Aggregation and Access applications.
Typical node configurations are:

• Single STM-16 ring with an STM-4 sub-ring, two (1+1) STM-1E and 252 (1:4) x E1 lines
• Dual STM-4 rings with dual STM-1 sub-ring, and 252 (1:4) x E1 lines
• Single STM-16 ring with two GE (transparent), 16 x FE (transparent or L2 switching), and four (1+1) STM-1 ATM (aggregated from E1 IMA) lines

Key Benefits

• Carrier-class STM-4/STM-16 based platform with a large number of E1 drops (up to 252 with or without protection node).
• High-density subrack with 11 interface slots and seven 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.
• Non-blocking switching matrix with HO/LO capacity options according to network requirement; 7.2 Gbps/2.5 Gbps for a small-sized node and 15 Gbps/5 Gbps for a middle-sized node.
• E1 IMA aggregation enabling to deliver cost-effective, high-speed broadband service.
• Tributary protection to prevent service outage from a single point of failure.
• Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) interfaces to deliver optical rate and parameter flexibility on a per-port basis.
• Common interface and cross-connect cards with FLASHWAVE 4170.
• 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.

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.

Management Features

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