General Description
PicoNodePDH is an Optimized and miniaturized Ethernet over PDH solution is designed to enable rapid development of next-generation Metro Ethernet transport interfaces for existing, widespread copper-based PDH infrastructures. Flexible Gigabit and 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet client ports facilitate support for a wide variety of Ethernet-based platforms including Mobile Backhaul, Enterprise Data and Network Access equipment. Integrated DS1/E1 and DS3/E3 network ports also allow for transport over a variety of leased or owned facility types.
Using standardized Virtual Concatenation, individual transport links can be bonded together into higher capacity virtual links. The integrated Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) protects against member link failures and also provides a mechanism for increasing or decreasing the bandwidth of any virtual link by changing the number of members. PicoNodePDH supports both Frame Mapped GFP and HDLC-based packet encapsulation to provide compatibility with existing and emerging network equipment from multiple vendors.
As with all Galazar IC technology, PicoNode is fully integrated with Galazar's industry leading and field proven configuration and management framework. This framework provides advanced capabilities such as warm start, interrupt management and a wide variety of troubleshooting tools, and is accompanied by extensive hyperlinked documentation and customer system support.
