ISG 6000

Multi-service Carrier Ethernet Aggregation


ISG 6000

High-density Ethernet and IP service aggregation

  • Modular TDM and Ethernet platform
  • Cost-effectively extend Ethernet over TDM
  • Save up to 70% by eliminating WAN Interfaces on edge routers for IP services
  • Convert traffic to Ethernet at the first aggregation point
  • Aggregate IP traffic from CPE routers
  • Aggregate Ethernet E-NNI tails from partner providers
  • Optimized for 1Mbps - 1Gbps access
  • Up to 672 DS1 subscribers in 2 RU

Overview

The ISG 6000 Carrier Ethernet Aggregation System is specifically designed to accelerate the transformation to Carrier Ethernet infrastructure and services. The ISG 6000 will help you deliver and manage a ubiquitous Carrier Ethernet service. Reach your customer sites from a single aggregation platform regardless of the access infrastructure in place

The ISG 6000 comes standard with four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and two interface card slots for adding variety of TDM interfaces, including channelized and clear channel SONET/SDH and DS3/E3 that support single and bonded links to provide aggregation of up to 672 Carrier Ethernet connections to all of your customer locations. With virtualized forwarding, 8 levels of queuing, three tag deep traffic classification and CoS mapping and local switching, the ISG 6000 offers sophistication and flexibility unmatched in the industry.

With the ISG 6000 at the edge of your network, you can now fully embrace Carrier Ethernet while supporting the existing services and infrastructure that continue to pay the bills. In fact, by designing a Layer 2 access network using Carrier Ethernet, a service provider can actually simplify the job of their core network while still reaching all customer sites with a consistent set of Ethernet, IP and TDM services.

Applications

Carrier Ethernet Services over Any Infrastructure

Whether your last mile is fiber or copper or an existing SONET/SDH network, the ISG 6000 will help you deliver and manage your Carrier Ethernet services. You can reach your customer sites from a single aggregation platform regardless of the access infrastructure in place. The ISG 6000 is available not just with direct Ethernet connections, but also a variety of TDM interfaces, including channelized and clear channel SONET/SDH, DS3 that support single and bonded links to provide Carrier Ethernet to all of your customer locations

IP Service Aggregation

If your service portfolio includes any type of IP service offering, such as direct Internet access, VoIP or managed router service, the ISG 6000 will provide a more cost-effective alternative to channelized router interface modules. Rather than spend a small fortune on router modules and drain performance from your critical service edge routers, deploy the ISG 6000 to save money and free up resources by using only Ethernet ports on your routers. Using IP to Ethernet Service interworking, the ISG 6000 terminates the TDM connection, repackages IP traffic into separate VLANs for each customer and hands it off to your router across one or more Ethernet interfaces.

Wholesale Ethernet Services

The ISG 6000 has the breadth and depth of carrier features for Wholesale Ethernet services, including triple tag management and H-QoS, hair pining, Local E-LAN / E-Line switching, CoS domain mapping, Virtual interface, queues/shaping and Service OAM (Y.1731, 802.1ag)
