SMALL YET POWERFUL

Today's cellular and metro access networks require cost-effective hubs for the consolidation of traffic arriving from
base-station cells (2G, 2.5G, 3G), SDH optical rings, chains, point-to-point connections, and radio links. Operators are also
expected to provide broadband services to business customers over the same infrastructure. The miniature XDM-50 shelf
delivers on these demands, for a lot less than expected.

BONAFIDE MSPP
As new technologies and equipment evolve and abound, service providers must respond to growing traffic and service needs
while reducing power consumption, size, and overall cost. Multiservice Provisioning Platforms (MSPPs) are thus emerging
as the most feasible and cost-effective for metro-access networks.
ECI Telecom's XDM-50 carries voice and data services over SDH and CWDM. It is the dependable solution for the focused
yet highly cost-sensitive metro access and cellular markets. Because MSPPs play a critical role in the journey from legacy
to next-generation networks, the XDM-50 allows carriers to leverage their SDH installed base while offering a mix of
carrier-class data services to their customers.

XDM CAPABILITIES AT A FRACTION OF THE COST

Fully compatible with its XDM-100 counterparts, the XDM-50 MSPP delivers a cost-effective and affordable mix of Ethernet,
SDH and PDH services, resulting in new revenue-generating opportunities. The system offers tangible benefits:
Carrier-class data service as well as traditional SDH voice centric services.
Non-traffic affecting, gradual capacity expansion based on service provisioning needs. An element can be upgraded from
an ADM-1 to an ADM-4, to a multi-ADM, and to a converged SDH/CWDM element.
Multi-ADM and cross-connect functionality makes it ideal for deployment in flexible network topologies, including ring,
mesh or star.
Common functions redundancy and I/O interfaces protection
Suitable for indoor and outdoor enclosures and for harsh environments thanks to its extended operating temperature
range of up to 55 °C.
Up-to-DATA Service Offering
Data applications have been the driving force in the telecommunications industry in recent years, providing a new approach
to data service provisioning and connectivity. This has brought about exceptional growth in the demand for larger bandwidth
at lower costs.
The XDM-50 is the choice transmission solution for emerging Ethernet-based applications. Equipped with the Ethernet Interface
and Switching Module (EISM), the platform takes advantage of existing network infrastructures and provides genuine
data-centric services, including:
Ethernet Virtual Private Lines (VPL)
Flexible bandwidth connectivity based on GFP mapping
QoS and SLA assurances
Statistical multiplexing for handling bursty traffic and supporting dynamic bandwidth utilization
Point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint service

Take the Metro

Up-and-coming metro-access operators report increasing
demand by residential and business customers for higher
bandwidth to support voice, data, and video services.
The compact XDM-50 offers scalable STM-1/4 aggregation of
access traffic in multirings and point-to-point topologies. It
adds/drops PDH, SDH, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), and Fast
Ethernet (FE) services at local Points of Presence (POPs). It
also provides a service layer, which terminates WAN links
and consolidates Ethernet traffic arriving from the local access.
Traffic can then be transported to local GbE interfaces or
routed to the metro-core network.

An Easy Cell
Cellular networks are instrumental in any global
communications infrastructure. The XDM-50 is
optimized for cellular hub applications in terms
of price, size, and functionality. When located at
hub sites, high availability is desirable, and the
element can be fully redundant. It collects traffic
arriving from the BTS/Node B and backhauls it
to the higher network hierarchies and toward the
central switching site (MSC, BSC/RNC). Traffic is
aggregated to higher levels via TM-1 and
ADM-1 multiplexers. This feature has a great
impact on radio access networks and/or as a
miniature cross-connect in leased line topologies
and scenarios.
Moreover, the XDM-50:
Provides closure of multiple STM-1 rings
(BTS/Node B collector rings), chains,
and spurs
Closes higher bitrate rings towards
BSC/RNC levels (STM-4 rings)
Supports 21 to 84 E1s with I/O protection
