Whether used for intelligent voice and data aggregation, call control, high-density transport, or simple multiplexing, they provide you with a single, scalable, and highly available solution. With the PacketStar PSAX media gateways, you can bring intelligence to the edge of your network and help cut the cost of building and deploying new broadband networks while maintaining full compatibility with existing infrastructures. ® Introduce high margin services rapidly PacketStar® PSAX media gateways provide any-service, any-channel flexibility that lets you create innovative, software-selectable, service provisioning options. You only need one system to support your customers’ service needs, including high-quality, high-capacity 2 voice services. And, using the PacketStar® PSAX media gateways’ unique, high-density multiservice modules, with up to 24 individual T1s or 3 DS3s per slot, you can rapidly introduce innovative, high margin services. With the PacketStar PSAX portfolio, circuit emulation, frame relay (FR) and ATM traffic can coexist in N x 64 blocks within the same T1/E1 line. You can maximize circuit utilization by provisioning these protocols granularly, on a DS0 by DS0 basis, bundled or unbundled, contiguous or noncontiguous. For example, if you need to simultaneously deploy three technologies such as ATM, TDM, and frame relay, only one module is needed, saving valuable slots and costs. Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) is also included on some multiservice modules to further reduce required slots while increasing flexibility. With the Enhanced Router Module, the PacketStar® PSAX media gateway family delivers cost-effective multiservice interworking to IP with QoS in addition to multiservice layer 2 VPNs. The PacketStar® PSAX product family now delivers complete services interworking between Ethernet and IP, plus FR, HDLC, and ATM. This functionality augments services capability while minimizing capital expenditures. PSAX 4500 High density 15-slot unit PSAX 2300 Highly resilient 15-slot unit PSAX 1250 10 or 14-slot unit PSAX 1000 Compact 4 and 5-slot unit Reduce network complexity and simplify operations The PacketStar® PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway portfolio lets you achieve convergence by collapsing multiple technologies into a single, scalable platform that is centrally managed. Parallel networks that once required separate equipment scenarios can be consolidated cost-effectively with minimum capital outlay. Convergence, plus the system’s multiservice and multimedia versatility, eliminate the need for multiple switches, reducing network complexity and simplifying operations. A simpler network structure also reduces the need for physical channel management and reduces the burden on core switches. Minimize capital expenditures and reduce operating costs Maximize switching capacity, availability and resiliency With the PacketStar® PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway portfolio’s scalable architecture, you need only one platform to deploy many services. Each product in the portfolio meets specific customer needs in various deployment scenarios, so whether driven by footprint, line density, speed or cost, you can find the best fit for your application. Since all chassis share a common, scalable architecture, you can use the same system and management software, minimizing administrative and provisioning knowledge. And, since the modules are inter-changeable between chassis, you can redeploy a module in any other PacketStar® PSAX media gateway model where and when your network needs change, reducing not only provisioning, but also sparing, training and inventory costs. PSAX can perform out of service maintenance tests to qualify a line before assigning customer traffic, lowering the need for expensive truck rolls and the time to turn up a new line. The PacketStar® PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway portfolio builds the latest ATM technology into its system architecture for maximum switching capacity with high availability and resiliency. Robust, highperformance backplane designs offer several layers of protection for system resources. PacketStar® PSAX Multiservice Media Gateways offer 1+ 1 system protection on optical modules. The PSAX 1000 offers 1:1 protection and the PSAX 4500 offers N:1 protection at the DS3/E3 level. All models offer a non-service affecting upgrade feature. Further system resilience is ensured by optional redundancy for common equipment (power supplies, Stratum 3-4 timing modules, and CPU modules). Protect existing investment and ensure easy migration The PacketStar® PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway portfolio supports a range of centralized network management options that add essential oversight and control while reducing the high cost of maintaining and managing the network. At the element level, you can manage the PacketStar® PSAX media gateways using Navis® EMS-PSAX Element Manager, a Javabased Graphical User Interface. Navis® EMS-PSAX element manager enables comprehensive, real-time, centralized management, including configuring and upgrading the system, as well as fault and performance monitoring. The PacketStar® PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway portfolio’s wide variety of interfaces and features help to ensure compatibility with existing equipment, while providing the service richness of today’s leading edge protocols. You can use the same high-density multimission platform to migrate to next generation networks while maintaining legacy services. Enabled through the tunnelling of private topology over ATM networks1, PSAX allows protocols to be carried transparently, creating greater versatility at the edge and reducing the need for upgrades to existing equipment assets. Whether your future plans include the next generation of wireless or new broadband multimedia applications you can help to avoid obsolescence and expensive forklift upgrades. For increasing customer bandwidth allocations, PSAX can modify traffic management parameters on active connections so services are not disrupted. The PacketStar® PSAX media gateways support more than 40 interface modules that are interchangeable across the product portfolio. System software is also consistent across all platforms, eliminating branching and compatibility problems. To help drive down the expense of meeting customer demands, you can upgrade modules simply by downloading new software and firmware drivers. 1 Add value, reduce costs with centrally managed options For carrier-class end-to-end network management, the PacketStar® PSAX media gateway portfolio can be integrated into numerous third party network management solutions as well as with Navis® iOperations software including: • rapid flow–through provisioning across multitechnology and multivendor environments with Navis® Provisioning Manager • performance, fault and service management with Navis® Fault Manager and Navis® Extend Statistics Server • service-level reporting with VitalSuite® Performance Monitoring Software • overall server management and maintenance of user accounts.
