Universal Edge 9000
Offer any service -- Webtone, voice, video -- all on a single platform and position yourself to evolve your network elegantly and seamlessly.
The Universal Edge 9000 (UE 9000) is a high-speed data access vehicle that integrates multiple services-from POTS to VDSL to IP applications- on a common platform, allowing you to increase
your service offerings-with minimal network operational and expansion costs. Integrating seamlessly into an AccessNode or a DMS switch, or operating as a stand-alone product, the UE 9000 provides you with a ubiquitous, competitive access solution.
Key Benefits
Diverse/Flexible Service Set - Plug and play FlexSlots allow you to put any service into any slot on the shelf. The diverse service set includes ADSL-DMT, ADSL G.lite, 1-Meg Modem, Service
Adaptive Access, Symmetrical DSL, EtherLoop, high-density POTS and a variety of new IP applications.
(e.g. Voice over IP).
Mass Market Deployability - The UE 9000 is designed to allow you to mass deploy revenue-generating services efficiently. It offers greater density (1500 + lines/frame), enables remote DSL deployment, eliminates MDF wiring issues, interfaces with legacy networks, offers an easily-expandable modular architecture, and provides carrier-grade quality and service ubiquity
(CO, DLC, CLE).
Easy Evolution Path to IP Network - UE 9000 allows you to cost-effectively deliver today's services using existing transport infrastructures while positioning your offerings for the future.
UE 9000 ServiceModules and a scalable architecture make the UE 9000 IP-ready today. The UE 9000 will support emerging IP applications such as Virtual Private Networks, IP Call Manager, Collaborative (Virtual) Work Groups, Voice over IP, IP Black Phone, and Multi-media over IP.
Speed to Market - Integrated multi-circuit voice and data ServiceModules allow you to rapidly deliver exactly the service your customers' need, when they need it. Just plug the UE 9000 into your AccessNode or DMS and begin offering revenue-generating services. No time-consuming network reconfigurations required.
Economical - High-density voice and high-speed data integrated on a single ServiceModule reduces equipment real estate costs. Modular architecture creates a cost-effective, elegant upgrade path.
The UE 9000 furthers Nortel's commitment to provide you with "plug and play" products.
ServiceModules can fit into any of 16 FlexSlots, providing any service--any slot flexibility. As a result of their flexibility and plug and play capability, the multi-circuit voice and data ServiceModules provide a competitive advantage because you can now rapidly turn up new services with minimal impact on existing networks.
The Universal Edge 9000 supports a variety of North American standard switch interfaces including TR-08 and GR-303, with an ETSI-ready architecture. Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM&P) operations are performed by Nortel's Integrated
Network Manager (INM) platform, with support of other management platforms such as SNMP.
Nortel's Universal Edge 9000 is a part of Nortel's evolutionary Universal Edge portfolio that helps service providers seamlessly transition all service offerings to a universal data network
without interrupting current service offerings or requiring the expense of building a new network. |
