A RELIABLE, STANDARDS-BASED, REMOTE DIGITAL TERMINAL

(RDT) THAT CONCENTRATES TDM VOICE WITH INTEGRATED

VOICE AND DATA GROOMING

GR-303 EDGE CONCENTRATOR AND INTEGRATED DIGITAL ACCESS CROSS-CONNECT SYSTEM (DACS)

Small footprint, flexible and cost-effective

Concentrates voice traffic using GR-303

Supports multiple DS3, STS-1 and GR-303 Interface Groups

Reduces backhaul costs by optimizing bandwidth utilization for voice

Simplifies network management and metallic test access

Delivers carrier-class reliability

OPTIMIZE VOICE AND DATA BACKHAUL

In today’s public switched network, voice is predominantly Time Division Multiplexed (TDM).

In order to leverage this existing infrastructure and get the most out of an existing local

exchange switch, the SECHTOR 300 TDM voice gateway provides a scalable, carrier-class

solution for concentrating TDM voice traffic while providing subscribers with transparent

access to CLASS features.

The SECHTOR 300 also goes well beyond a stand alone GR-303 gateway by supporting con-

current digital cross-connect capabilities in the same platform. This provides maximum

flexibility for service providers who are backhauling and concentrating TDM traffic from

remote collocation or central office facilities to larger COs.

BUILT FOR TODAY– READY FOR TOMORROW

SECHTOR 300 provides universal voice compatibility regardless of the TDM access technology.

End-user access to the SECHTOR 300 voice gateway can originate from traditional analog

and digital telephone lines, or from TDM-based integrated access devices (IADs). Because

SECHTOR 300 supports all of today’s industry standards for signaling and management, it

can extend the voice capabilities of any existing edge TDM network.

ENHANCE TODAY’S VOICE NETWORKS

As an extension to a voice switch, SECHTOR 300 uses standard GR-303 signaling to concen-

trate voice traffic. It can dynamically assign up to 7000 individual calls or DS0s to a local

exchange digital switch on a call-by-call basis. Not only does this capability allow you to

leverage existing GR-303 signaling, but it also allows you to transparently offer full lifeline

and CLASS services to your subscribers.

SECHTOR 300 also integrates traditional 3/1/0 digital cross-connect functionality at the edge

of the network, thereby enhancing your existing voice network in three important ways. With

SECHTOR 300 in place, you can (1) consolidate traffic over high-speed digital interfaces, (2)

optimize your use of backhaul transports, and (3) reduce the port and administrative require-

ments on a switch.

Combine these capabilities with remote software configuration and centralized management

tools, and it’s easy to see why SECHTOR 300 is the optimal platform for any voice application.

The SECHTOR 300 provides a gateway between TDM endpoints and a local exchange switch.

Service providers save on facilities costs by aggregating voice traffic and grooming data for redirection to ISPs.

ESTABLISH A GATEWAY BETWEEN EDGE NETWORKS AND REMOTE LOCAL EXCHANGE SWITCHES

SECHTOR 300 allows you to establish scalable voice gateway services between edge TDM

networks and local exchange switches through its integral TDM backplane. The platform

allows for the concentration of any voice traffic from standard Plain Old Telephone Services

(POTS) trunks (FXS/FXO) and T1 or fractional T1 access trunks to high-speed, higher-density

DS3/STS-1 interfaces back to a local exchange switch. Aggregating this traffic using the

SECHTOR 300 saves on facilities costs and switch ports by using the over-subscription capa-

bilities inherent in the SECHTOR 300.

SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT, TEST, AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING

SECHTOR 300 is easy to configure and manage via TL1-based CLI, a GUI-based management

system, or remotely through a comprehensive set of SNMP MIBS. Support for GR-818/GR-834

enables interworking with industry-standard 3rd-party test controllers for comprehensive

test and performance monitoring.

CARRIER-CLASS RELIABILITY

In every conceivable way, SECHTOR 300 is designed to meet your demanding quality and

reliability requirements. SECHTOR 300 combines the management capabilities of a data

system with the redundancy and reliability of a voice system.

Redundancy is built into every aspect of SECHTOR 300’s hardware and software, with no

single point of failure. Furthermore, SECHTOR 300’s unique metallic line test capabilities give

you the capability to diagnose line problems without service disruption. SECHTOR 300 is fully

NEBS level 3 compliant, meeting all of the requirements for installation in a central office,

remote node, or subscriber site.

NETWORK EDGE CONCENTRATION

With the introduction of SECHTOR 300, you finally have exactly what your network needs to

succeed today and flourish tomorrow. As a robust universal gateway function between an

existing edge network and a local exchange facility, SECHTOR 300 allows you to deliver

today’s services to your subscribers while building a migration path to the future.
