CATS Converged Access & Transport System is a next generation optical system platform for WDM, TDM and Ethernet applications. With this system, service providers can offer various bandwidth services using SDH/Sonet, Fiber Channel, Ethernet and/or E1/T1 protocols, while aggregating all customer interfaces on to the metro network. The centrally managed platform, ranging from 1RU “pizza-box” to 3U or 6U shelf, accepts plug-in cards for transport and access.
|
3 platforms are offered:
| 1U rack CATS 1000 for 2 x 3U line cards
| 3U rack CATS 3000 for 10 x 3U line cards
| 6U rack CATS 6000 for 24 x 3U line cards
|
CATS cards can also fit into a small stand-alone chassis RA-T. See page 28 for order information |
| Why CATS? |
| CATS is an unique system combining both Layer 0, Layer 1 and Layer 2 functions into one shelf. It is designed for Packet Optical Transport and Service Delivery applications. |
CATS by Network Functions
|
Currently, following functions are available within CATS platform:
| Wavelength multiplexing (WDM)
| Fast, Gigabit, or 10 Gigabit Ethernet service delivery
| Multi-service access for both TDM and Ethernet
|
 |
WDM or Ethernet Aggregation?
|
The new generation of Ethernet equipment, such as our 10 G carrier Ethernet Switch MTS1080/MTS180 (P. 17), can aggregate Ethernet services while transporting traffics tens or even hundreds of kilometers without electrical regeneration.
MTS series carrier Ethernet switch is best used for Ethernet aggregation at high capacity, or for prioritized Ethernet service delivery. The metro network can be either IP based or SDH/Sonet based. The maximum trunk capacity per MTS shelf is 40 G (with 4x10 G ports). |
 |
Ethernet Aggregation Example: Collecting IP services in the access network, and connecting them to the metro network using 10 GbE.
