OptiSwitch Family

OptiSwitch Family

Application Aware Switch


The OptiSwitch family is networking equipment that consists of five main chassis and two Telco flavored chassis that can host more than 90 types of modules for applications that address the needs of a Carrier and an Enterprise. The OptiSwitch family’s unique modular architecture offers a wire speed non-blocking switching solution designed for high density of Fiber optic interfaces, VDSL connectivity, Optical Wireless links and TDM Voice over Ethernet. The systems are ideal for large Enterprises and Carriers (broadband service providers), who offer communications services and are looking for fast ROI and scale-up solution design.
The OptiSwitch solutions provide flexible options that enable building a network which would seem to the end customer as a layer 2 network, while maintaining the security, QoS and traffic policing rules implemented at the higher layers.


Features
Modularity: With over 90 different types of modules and a variety of 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 slots chassis, OptiSwitch enables a “pay as you grow” model: only the port density required at the time of installation is acquired. Thanks to its “all-modular” design, you can either replace/add modules as needed, or reuse the existing modules in a larger chassis.
Intelligence by Classifier Engine: The OptiSwitch classification modules provide network intelligence to implement features such as access rules according to Layer 2-3-4 parameters like VLAN, IP and TCP/UDP with rate limit and marking of QoS fields in the packet header.
Bandwidth Control: A network partitioning is required to preserve each valuable Kilobit and ensure allocated flows from the end users to network resources. OptiSwitch classification modules allow isolation and rate limitation of the traffic based on variable flows definitions.
Security: The implementation of Policy ACL capability into the OptiSwitch family permits a powerful feature to enforce another protection at the access and aggregation points for the Enterprise or Metro Carrier.
Density: Telco chassis with highest optical, copper and VDSL density per rack in the industry
Resiliency and Redundancy: OptiSwitch, serving as a critical network component, supports different level of redundancy at all layers to increase system resilience and redundancy.
Modular Ethernet VDSL with QoS solution: The most advanced in the industry modular Ethernet over VDSL (EoV) technology enables the creation of high-speed links of up to 15 Mbps full duplex, over standard telephone lines.
Modular Optical Wireless solution: The OptiSwitch optical wireless modules in accordance with the TereScope systems provide direct, fiber-speed communication to solve the bottleneck often found in last mile applications.
Management: Fully managed solution through out-of-band CLI or in-band powerful Web based NMS MegaVision SNMP.
Transparent LAN and VPN services: Transparent LAN service enables organizations to seamlessly integrate their distributed LANs network resources through high-speed interconnection, quality of service, transparent performance characteristics, and native connectivity.
Voice E1/T1 TDM over Ethernet: The Voice TDM Over Ethernet connection module provides the transparent interconnection of PBXs, Telecom Switches and T1/E1 based communication systems via LANs, MANs, and Optical Wireless networks.
GMX: Gigabit Multimode Extender for MM fiber up to 2 Km
Connectors: Various fiber connectors for flexibility: ST,MT-RJ, LC and SC
Hybrid modules: Copper and Fiber for cross and vertical applications
