RAD Helps China Telecom to Reduce Opex Costs, Accelerate Provisioning of Broadband Services to Millions of Subscribers

Overview Guangdong Datacom Bureau (GDB), which owns the fastest growing broadband network infrastructure in China, had a challenge to connect ATM switches with various types of fiber interfaces in the central office to ADMs on the SDH backbone (coax). The solution chosen by GDB was based on RAD's AMC-101 universal media converter. The AMC-101 is deployed between the ATM switch and the ADM, performing media conversion from single mode and multimode fiber to coax, and vice versa. The AMC-101 provides retimed or transparent conversion of optical and electrical signals for ATM, SDH/SONET and other protocols at data rates up to 155 Mbps.

Has Gigabit Ethernet come of age?

Gigabit Ethernet is tempting carriers to use it in the MAN as it does not require the protocol conversion of packet-to-circuit or the heavy maintenance that currently pushes overheads and service charges up with the dominant ATM.
