SparkLight ADM-1/4 is a compact, powerful and user-friendly device for providing PDH (E1, E3), SDH (STM-1, STM-4) and Ethernet (FE, GE) over SDH networks.
Used as an add/drop multiplexer on the SDH ring (or as a terminal multiplexer at the remote site), the SparkLight ADM-1/4 improves Ethernet bandwidth efficiency via GFP, VCAT and LCAS protocols. It also supports TDM mapping for termination at any point in the SDH network.
Various tributary interfaces on central module, many optional tributary modules and a high capacity cross-connect matrix with stacking connectivity all give an opportunity to set up a flexible and effective multi-service communication node.
Integrated Ethernet L2 switch enables point-to-point and point-to-multipoint LAN traffic with many possibilities for traffic protection (on SDH or L2 switch level).
To establish SDH STM-1 microwave link only radio module, outdoor unit and antenna are needed.
The management system with Java Web Start user interface, SNMP agent and OSPF router is built into the device. No additional equipment except a standard PC with built-in web browser is needed to set up the telemanagement system.
