RAD's New TDM Pseudowire Gateway Maximizes Operability over Packet Switched Networks
IPmux-24 Provides Cost-Effective, End-to-End Performance Measurement and Accurate Clock Synchronization
RAD Data Communications, the telecommunications vendor that developed and first introduced pseudowire solutions to the market nine years ago, has unveiled the IPmux-24 TDM pseudowire gateway, which maximizes operability in transporting legacy traffic over packet-switched networks (PSNs).
The IPmux-24 transparently emulates up to four E1/T1 TDM user traffic data streams over next generation Ethernet, IP and MPLS networks. "Alternative carriers wishing to offer leased-line legacy services over PSNs and incumbent carriers seeking a migration solution to packet-based infrastructure will find the IPmux-24 ideally suited for their needs," states Eyal Gabay, Senior Product Line Manager at RAD Data Communications. "In addition, the IPmux-24 is also a versatile solution for reducing operating costs (Opex) of corporate communications."
A new adaptive clock recovery algorithm incorporated into the IPmux-24 greatly improves the ability to maintain high accuracy synchronization under changing traffic network loads. "This is critically important in the cellular environment," Gabay notes. “2G, CDMA and GSM cellular operators can substantially lower their Opex by using the IPmux-24 to run multi-generational mobile backhaul traffic over affordable PSNs using circuit emulation technology."
The IPmux-24 introduces a hardware platform featuring a multi-standard TDM pseudowire ASIC processor designed by RAD that supports all existing TDM pseudowire standards: TDMoIP, CESoPSN, SAToP, and HDLCoPSN. This enables all pseudowire solutions to be optimized in tandem with existing network infrastructure. In addition, the IPmux-24 will support up to three Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be ordered as SFP slots or built-in 100BaseT ports.
RAD's TDM pseudowire Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) enables TDM pseudowire performance monitoring while ensuring the correct end-to-end pseudowire provisioning. 802.1Q switching and QinQ (VLAN stacking) support guarantee enhanced Ethernet capabilities, such as Ethernet switching and bridging, to support all types of L2 networks.
The IPmux-24 TDM access gateway is MEF-9 certified, verifying service compliance at the UNI (User Network Interface), and MEF-14 certified for Ethernet Private Line (EPL) services.
