Axerra Networks’ AXN100 is a powerful and compact (1RU) Pseudo-Wire gateway, targeted for cost-effective integration of voice and data Pseudo-Wire services as well as IP aggregation and service interworking applications over IP, MPLS, and Carrier Ethernet networks.

The AXN100 enables mobile operators, cable MSOs, and competitive and incumbent service providers to open up new and immediate revenue opportunities by offering profitable traditional services such as T1/E1 private line and PBX voice backhaul, as well as advanced Ethernet services to medium-and large-sized business customers, over packet-based access networks.

The AXN100 Pseudo-Wire Gateway enables T1/E1 Circuit Emulation Service (CES) for leased line emulation as well as Frame Relay (FR), HDLC, and Ethernet transport over packet-switched networks. In addtiion, the AXN 100 platform also enables sophisticated aggregation and service interworking of IP- and Ethernet-aware layer-2 circuits into Fast or Gigabit Ethernet trunk interfaces for cost-effective integration with edge routers and switches.

In a typical deployment scenario, the AXN100 is installed at aggregation PoPs, MSO head-ends, or cellular base station sites, and functions as a gateway between packet-based access networks such as Carrier Ethernet, cable HFC, xDSL, EPON/GPON, and fixed wireless, and legacy networks such as FR and PSTN.

The AXN100 Pseudo-Wire Gateway is available with 16 T1/E1 ports plus 8 Fast Ethernet (FE) ports, and Gigabit Ethernet. It is based on Axerra’s field-proven Multiservice over Packet (MSoP) technology and is fully interoperable with the other members of the AXN family: AXN1, AXN10, AXN800 and AXN1600, delivering the industry’s most scalable family of Pseudo-Wire gateways and access devices.

KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES

• IETF PWE3-based Pseudo-Wire capabilities including T1/E1 circuit emulation (CESoPSN, SAToP), FR and HDLC


• The industry's most robust and accurate T1/E1 CES High Precision Clock Recovery (HPCR®) -- compliant with ITU-T G.823 and G.824


• Advanced QoS mechanisms, including rate limiting, DiffServ, and Ethernet 802.1P, and strict prioritization of T1/E1 CES over Ethernet traffic


• Seamless interoperability with all existing CPEs, including PABXs, FRADs, IADs, switches, and routers


• Remote management capabilities through Axerra’s CLI and AXNVision™ NMS.

• GSM/UMTS and CDMAone/CDMA2000 RAN backhaul aggregation -- Reducing operating expenses associated with leased lines of rapidly growing Radio Access Networks
• PBX backhaul aggregation and PSTN gateway -- Enabling full-featured voice services to be extended from Class 5 TDM switches across new packet-aware access networks
• IP-aware layer-2 aggregation and service interworking -- Lowering the cost of IP-edge deployments by half while preserving layer-2 security and subscriber separation
