GE8

AT-TN117-A 8 Port GbE Service and Aggregation Module

Allied Telesis’ iMAP family of integrated
Multiser vice Access Platforms

Aggregation of GbE Network Traffic

The GE8 module available for use with the
iMAP 9000 series is a new advancement in line
card flexibility. As network bandwidth continues
to grow, Ser vice Providers find increasing
bandwidth requirements far ther in the local
loop. The ability to maintain a single IP
infrastructure to address Network Transpor t
bandwidth as well as last mile access bandwidth
is pivotal for any network operator.

The GE8 module is primarily intended to be
used as an aggregation element with the
introduction of Allied Telesis’ 10G iMAP
common control upgrade (CFC56 and XE1).
Combined, these modules provide 10G
transpor t bandwidth as well as aggregation of
up to 8 GbE feeds per GE8 module. When
used in the iMAP Resource Module slots, a pair
of GE8 modules can be used to subtend up to
8 EPSR

TM

rings providing an extremely flexible,

reliable and dense aggregation point from any
network location.

If point-to-point aggregation links are required,
the GE8 provides cost effective and feature rich
aggregation to any GbE network element. As
network designs continue to blend the line
between Access and Transpor t, the GE8 will
become a key component of any IP Triple Play
network design.

Metro Ethernet Connectivity

With the GE8 module, the Allied Telesis iMAP
is ideally suited for delivering GbE ser vices to
any Enterprise or business location relying on
last mile fiber access. With advanced features
including per VLAN rate limiting, the GE8
module can be used as either a network
interface for subtended remote locations or
for point-to-point connectivity to a strategic
business.

The GE8 module suppor ts up to 4095 VLANs
and can be used to provide business Ethernet
ser vices. Whether ser ving customers from
traditional COs, CEVs, RTs or an Enterprise, the
iMAP and GE8 module offers wirespeed and
non-blocking bandwidth for any IP/Ethernet
application.

Part of Allied Telesis’ IP Broadband
Access Family

Whether it is broadband ADSL2+, FTTH or
POTS, the iMAP family is the ideal platform
for last mile ser vice deliver y. The GE8 line card
can be used with any of the iMAP family of
carrier grade, IP Multiser vice Access platforms:

•

iMAP 9700 (9RU, 17 ser vice slots)

•

iMAP 9400 (3RU, 7 ser vice slots)

•

MiniMAP 9100 (1RU, 3 ser vice slots)

Provisioning, management, and diagnostics of
subscriber por ts can be accomplished from
either the iMAP command line interface or the
NMS.

The AT-TN117 has been designed to sur vive
the most rugged environmental conditions. It
can be confidently deployed in either a central
office or in outdoor enclosures withstanding
extremes of heat, cold, and light exposure.
