MXK: INTELLIGENT TERABIT ACCESS CONCENTRATOR

MXK 319, 819, 823

Zhone's New MXK Terabit Access Platforms — truly scalable solutions  for high-bandwidth applications

Overview

Demands on access networks are  increasing at an accelerating rate, requiring a clean-sheet approach to a truly scalable multi-service architecture. Zhone's MXKâ„¢ intelligent  terabit access concentrator reflects this new approach, with  non-blocking capacity of up to 3,600 100Mbps GPON subscribers or 360 1G  Active Ethernet subscribers per chassis. Beyond sheer bandwidth, MXK  platforms leverage Zhone's well-proven SLMS access operating system for  sophisticated service intelligence, to guarantee high quality of  experience for subscribers, along with ease of management to address  rising costs of network operation.

The MXK delivers these fundamental  advances in access networking while meeting the full spectrum of  baseline carrier-class requirements for multi-service hardware and  software. For residential triple play and high-bandwidth business  services over any FTTx architecture, the MXK solution sets a new  performance benchmark for the industry.

The MXK family offers a wide range of  options for FTTx solutions. It supports Active Ethernet and GPON line  cards, and interoperates with indoor and outdoor ONTs. Supporting Active Ethernet and GPON on the same chassis allows service providers to  configure their networks with maximum flexibility and efficiency, using a combination of GPON splitters and dedicated fiber connections.

MXK Chassis

The MXK family includes three fully-integrated form factors: 319 (19"  rack x 3RU, with 7 slots for line cards), 819 (19" rack x 8RU, with 14  slots for line cards), and 823 (23" rack x 8RU, with 18 slots for line  cards). The chassis support both front and rear power options and are  equipped with a cable management tray, easy fan access, and redundant  power feeds.

MXK Uplink Cards

MXK uplink cards offer a mix of multiple 10G and 1G interfaces to suit a variety of network designs. The two configurations currently available  are 2x10G + 8x1G and 8x1G. The cards support both copper and fiber SFPs, link aggregation, link redundancy, and the EAPS ring interface.

MXK Line Cards

The MXK platform supports GPON and  Active Ethernet line cards today and is designed for seamless,  same-chassis support of ADSL2+, VDSL2, and G.SHDSL EFM as those line  cards become available in the coming months.

The 4- and 8-port GPON OLT line cards  provide standards-based support of 2.5Gbps downstream and 1.25 Gbps  upstream bandwidth. The largest MXK chassis can support up to 9,216 ONTs using Class B+ or C optics.

The Active Ethernet line cards provide  up to 360 ports per chassis of 100/1000BT copper or 100/1000Mb  fiber-based services. Operators can use a wide variety of SFPs on the  same card.

SLMS

Zhone's SLMS (Single Line Multi-Service) access operating system  provides intelligent functionality across all the company's hardware  products. Driven by 8 years of experience in commercial operation and  collaboration with 700+ service providers worldwide, Zhone's SLMS  delivers functionality critical to today's access networks in advanced  networking, quality of experience, voice, security, and management.

Security

To maintain tight security in the last mile, the MXK platform mounts  considerable defenses, powered by all of Zhone's SLMS security features, including multicast control lists, secure bridging, broadcast  suppression, dynamic IP filtering, SSH and SFTP, and RADIUS  authentication.

Management

The MXK product line integrates fully into the Zhone Management System  (ZMS). Using ZMS, thousands of MXK nodes can be managed from remote  locations. Customer provisioning, auto discovery, alarm aggregation,  and maintenance can easily be performed without any service  interruption.

Smart OMCI

Unlike vendors who have dodged the complexity of the ITU's G984.4  standard for GPON ONT management, Zhone provides a simple and clean  interface to a fully standards-compliant OMCI implementation. Zhone's Smart OMCI(TM) approach allows the MXK OLT to interoperate with any vendor's ONT,  yielding rapid ONT and service extension without OLT software upgrades.  With Smart OMCI you can configure, obtain stats and support alarms on  any ONT without hassle.

Cabinets

Zhone offers a full line of outside cabinets engineered specifically to  support MXK platforms. Multiple configurations are available for  deployments from small to large scales, with a wide range of powering,  protection, and line termination options.
