Traverse™

Traverse Next-Generation SONET/SDH EoS ADM The Traverse (100 Gbps) platform is a groundbreaking Multiservice optical transport system designed to simplify network planning and enable the delivery of traditional SONET/SDH and TDM-based services as well as next-generation data services – such as Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet – rapidly, efficiently and cost effectively.

THe Traverse family of products includes the:

• Traverse 2000, 1600, and 600
• Traverse Edge 206 Multiservice Edge Multiplexer integrating SONET ADM and Ethernet switching
• Traverse PacketEdge 1200 IP edge aggregator
• Traverse Edge 2020 OC-192-capable Multiservice Edge Multiplexer

Carrier Class Optical Platform

• Fully redundant with no single point of failure (99.999% availability)
• Network module that integrates power supply, CPU and transport (No separate chassis or modules)
• Redundant in-band management at each node (Does not require a separate management interface)
• Ideally suited for applications in core and metro networks
• NEBS Level 3 compliant

Superior Uptime & Reliability.

• 1+1 APS and UPSR facility protection for SONET/SDH network ports
• 1:1 equipment protection for all tributary ports and system functions, including switching, cross-connect, timing, and control
• Hardware and Software upgrades can be performed "In-Service”

Cost Effective Scalable Bandwidth Growth

• OC-3/STM-1 to OC-192/STM-64 SONET/SDH trunk interfaces using Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics
• A single shelf that extends SONET/SDH and Ethernet to the provider edge
• Multiservice design combines STS-1 and VT1.5 level grooming
• Standards-based GFP, LCAS, and VCAT (both Low-order and High-order) to maximize Ethernet over SONET/SDH (EoS) bandwidth efficiency
• Delivery of both point-to-point Ethernet Private Line (EPL) and multipoint Ethernet Private LAN/Transparent LAN services

Extremely Flexible & Modular Architecture

• Distributed switching architecture with a fully meshed, passive backplane (GMPLS)
• Enable an efficient migration to next-generation packet services
• Point-to-point (terminal), linear add/drop, ring (interconnect, subtending, UPSR/SNCP and BLSR/MS-SPR rings), mesh and hybrid
• Flexible, offering DS1/E1, DS3/E3, OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16, 10/100 Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet tributary interfaces

Effectively Manage Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

• Fully featured, easy to use remote diagnostics and fault isolation
• SONET bandwidth management capabilities down to the T1 level
• 802.1Q/p VLAN prioritization and intelligent flow control mechanisms support differentiated classes of service
• Rate shaping of Ethernet bandwidth in 1 Mbps increments
• Up to 4,094 customer-specific VLANs per module
• Up to 8 traffic priority levels
