From BBP Wires
STOCKHOLM – ASSP-based chipset
vendor Xelerated’s (www.xelerated.com)
new AX family of programmable wirespeed
Ethernet switches is the first line
of devices to allow network equipment
vendors and carriers to use a unified
Ethernet-based FTTx access solution in
a single design. The AX family, a 100
Gigabit-ready series based on Xelerated’s
patented dataflow architecture, is
optimized to deliver IPTV and Videoon-Demand.
Fully programmable, it
allows for easy adaptation to carrier requirements
and new access standards,
such as DSL Forum WT-201 (TR101)
and WT-145. It also enables carriers and
vendors to extend the lifetime of access
equipment to 20+ plus years, and to accelerate
time to market for new, revenuegenerating
services.
Based on a network processor core
embedded into the Ethernet Switch,
the AX switches retain flexibility for
ring, star, dual star and meshed topologies,
while providing low cost and high
performance in the access. They offer
advanced user flow management of quadruple
play services for voice, video, television
and data as well as Carrier Ethernet
services such as E-LAN, E-Line and
E-Tree for business users. I-temp variants
are also offered for hardened outdoor
applications, which are common in
the US, and in Europe for fiber-to-thecurb
or -node deployments.
Specifically, the AX240 and AX340
devices support advanced traffic management
to QOS for quadruple-play
services with fine-granular user flow
management (EIR, CIR, CBS, EBS)
and flow control. Flexible service provisioning
is supported with features like
carrier-grade OAM protocols, such as
802.1ag, 802.1ah, ITU1731. Synchronous
Ethernet and precision time protocol
support wireless and circuit/leased
line emulation. Carrier grade reliability
with memory protection, high service
availability, detect and recover from
incidents within 50 ms, node and link
redundancy and hitless in-service upgrades
are supported.
The AX series is fully software compatible
with the HX300 family of products,
as well as its previous generation
network processor, the X11.
