SparkLight ADM 1/4

SparkLight ADM-1/4 is a compact, powerful and user-friendly device for providing PDH (E1, E3), SDH (STM-1, STM-4) and Ethernet (FE, GE) over SDH networks.

B2B shop
  • Used as an add/drop multiplexer on the SDH ring (or as a terminal multiplexer at the remote site), the SparkLight ADM-1/4 improves Ethernet bandwidth efficiency via GFP, VCAT and LCAS protocols. It also supports TDM mapping for termination at any point in the SDH network.
  • Various tributary interfaces on central module, many optional tributary modules and a high capacity cross-connect matrix with stacking connectivity all give an opportunity to set up a flexible and effective multi-service communication node.
  • Integrated Ethernet L2 switch enables point-to-point and point-to-multipoint LAN traffic with many possibilities for traffic protection (on SDH or L2 switch level).
  • To establish SDH STM-1 microwave link only radio module, outdoor unit and antenna are needed.
  • The management system with Java Web Start user interface, SNMP agent and OSPF router is built into the device. No additional equipment except a standard PC with built-in web browser is needed to set up the telemanagement system.
     
  • Provides revenue-generating next generation Ethernet services while preserving investments in legacy SDH networks
  • Optimized bandwidth utilization for Ethernet services using GFP, VCAT, LCAS functionality
  • Effective management integration using Java Web Start GUI and SNMP protocol transported by an embedded IP/OSPF telemanagement network
  • Integrated optical/power and microwave radio SDH lines in the same device
  • SFP modules for up to 120 km
  • By stacking more ADM devices with ESSI interfaces a STM-1/4 non-blocking cross-connect node could be set up with no additional hardware
  • Easy migration from TDM to IP
  • Combination of TDM and IP traffic
  • Low OPEX/CAPEX
     
  • Compact 1U/2U high; 19"/ETSI compatible device
  • 32xSTM-1 equivalent CC capacity
  • Up to 2xSTM-1/4 power/optical line interfaces on the central module
  • Up to 2xSTM-1 microwave radio line interfaces
  • Up to 40xE1 interfaces; 8xE1 on the central module
  • Up to 3xE3 interfaces
  • 6xFE interfaces on the central module
  • 8xGFP mappers for P2P FE connections
  • 1xGE interface on the central module
  • Up to 2xESSI interfaces for equipment CC stacking
  • GFP, VCAT, LCAS and embedded L2 switch for EoS
  • Supports many different radio and SDH protection mechanisms
  • Java Web Start and SNMP based integrated management
  • xWDM ready

SparkLight ADM-1/4 is ideally suited for next generation IP services coexisting with legacy voice and TDM services in public telecommunications networks as well as networks of large corporations like: railways, highways, oil/gas distribution companies, government and private organizations.
