Access Gateways
Optimizing Mobile Radio Access Network Transport and Cell Site Management
With tens of thousands of platforms deployed in the radio access networks (RANs) of Tier 1 and Tier 2 mobile operators worldwide, Sycamore Networks is a proven innovator and leader in access gateways. DNX-1u access gateways help mobile wireless service providers optimize RAN transport and improve cell site visibility and management. Compact, yet feature-rich, the DNX-1u enables equipment consolidation, conserves rack space, and reduces costs at BTS/Node B locations.
Sycamore access gateways work seamlessly with other network elements as part of an end-to-end RAN solution. The DNX-1u can feed into other platforms (such as the DNX-11/88 Multiservice Cross-Connect) for second-stage aggregation purposes at a Base Station Controller (BSC), or located deeper in the network at a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) location.
DNX-1u Access Gateway
DNX-1u TDM traffic grooming capabilities reduce the recurring costs of circuit-switched T1/E1 RAN backhaul links. The DNX-1u also enables more efficient management of cell site infrastructure. Details...
- T1/E1 TDM RAN Optimization Platform
- Micro-DCS Functionality
- Integrated CSUs and IP Router
- Ethernet Hub/Switch
- Seamless Connectivity to Upstream Grooming/DCS Platforms (e.g., DNX-11/88 for Second-Stage Aggregation in the RAN)
- Total Cell Site Telemetry Solution
For fixed line and private network operators, the DNX-1u provides efficient T1/E1 micro-DCS functionality at remote sites, and adds value to remote site telemetry and IP-based management applications.
