Q-RAY1052 SDH
Overview

The Q-Ray1052 is an ultra-compact, next-generation SDH micro multi-service provisioning platform (µMSPP). Part of the Q-Ray1000-series of STM-1 µMSPP products, it is the platform of choice for economical deployment of SDH access points with low initial count of E1 and Ethernet ports, but with flexibility for future service and capacity expansion needs.

The advanced modular design of the Q-Ray1052 µMSPP provides unequaled flexibility in its class in terms of service offerings, capacity and functional upgrades.

The base Q-Ray1052 system is configured with:
  • 2 STM-1
  • 8 E1/T1
  • 2 Ethernet 10/100BASE-TX

Two expansion module slots allow increasing system capacity beyond the initial base configuration. Additional ports and features only require simple insertion of one of the many available types of TDM and packet data modules.

In only one RU, the Q-Ray1052 supports expansion up to:
  • 50 E1 ports
  • 18 Ethernet 10/100 ports

The Q-Ray1052 incorporates next-generation SDH features such as virtual concatenation (VCAT), link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS) and generic framing procedure (GFP) for efficient packet data transport. The platform also incorporates Layer 2 features such as VLAN tagging, rate limiting and statistical multiplexing with multi-level QoS control.

The Q-Ray1052 is easily configured and managed through a simple Web-based GUI interface or a scalable EMS.
