Spec Sheet
LoopStar
®
1600
SONET Multi-Service Transmission Platform
The LoopStar
®
1600 is an advanced, next-generation SONET multi-service transmission platform
that allows service providers to cost-effectively aggregate, deploy, and manage TDM and Ethernet
services. With its compact design and ability to scale from an OC-3 to an OC-192 network, the
LoopStar 1600 provides a low-cost, high-growth solution for adding services at the central office
or at the edge of the network.
When used with the LoopStar 800 or LoopStar 810 products, the LoopStar 1600 provides
a cost-effective aggregation point for multiple subtending rings. The LoopStar 1600 also can
function as multiple virtual Add-Drop Multiplexers (ADMs) for hub node applications. In addition,
with its versatile cross-connect architecture and high port count, this platform is an efficient
alternative to existing cross-connect systems that require significantly more rack space at two
to three times the cost.
Benefits:
Aggregates and delivers TDM and Ethernet •
services over a single transport platform.
Provides efficient support for •
point-to-point, point-to-multipoint,
or multipoint-to-multipoint traffic.
Supports network interfaces from an •
OC-3 to OC-192 and tributary interfaces
from OC-3 to OC-48.
Scales Ethernet services from sub 10BaseT •
rates up to Gigabit Ethernet using QoS in
conjunction with EoS features.
Offers modular slot design to grow the •
network cost-effectively and add services
when required.
Provides multiple network protection •
schemes including UPSR, BLSR, and LAPS.
Prevents tributary card failures from affecting •
customer traffic with economical n:1
tributary card protection.
Protects equipment (cross-connections and •
management) with redundant cross-connect
and management cards.
Reduces CAPEX by providing MADM and •
3/1 DACS functionality in a single platform.
Provides sufficient traffic grooming •
capabilities to reduce the need for
costly DACs ports.
Utilizes the same management systems as •
those for the LoopStar 800/810: LoopStar
SONET EMS, LoopStar SONET EMS LCT,
LoopStar SONET Web-based LCT.
