A-1200-X is a compact size 1RU Carrier Ethernet Access Switch with 10 Gbps full duplex non-blocking switching capacity that offers cost-effective 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces. The A-1200-X supports sub-50 ms service protection for E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree services. The A-1200-X supports four 100/1000Base-X SFP interfaces, six 10/100/1000Base-T interfaces for nonblocking connectivity to both UNI and NNI in the Carrier Ethernet network. Customer traffic is mapped by using multiple and flexible classifications from layer 1 (port-based) up to layer 3 (IP Address, Protocol Type and DSCP bits). With advanced synchronization capabilities, the A-1200-X plays a significant role in the end-to-end synchronization of Nokia Siemens Networks Mobile Backhaul solution. Allowing support for Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) as well as Time Division Duplexing (TDD)* technologies, the A-1200-X is uniquely positioned for packet-based mobile backhaul networks. 1 ASPEN Service Management IP Router Enterprise A-1200-X A-2200 A-1200-X A-2200 A-1200-X NodeB MBH 1G Access Ring A-1200 eNodeB 10G Access Ring RNC A-1200-X Residential A-1200-X DSLAM A-1200-X A-2200 Eth BSC Controller Site STM-1 Carrier Ethernet access domain MPLS aggregation domain Ethernet Demarcation/Access IP/MPLS Metro Access, Aggregation and core The A-1200-X may be deployed as a high-end CPE working with the Nokia Siemens Networks A-2200/A-1210 Edge switches and the Juniper MX Switch/Router family. The A-1200-X can also be used as an aggregation switch working together with the A-1200 multiservice switch to provide a very economical access solution. Using Nokia Siemens Networks’ product portfolio, Carriers and Service Providers can construct a powerful high-performance and efficient Metro infrastructure, designed to quickly deliver profitable communication services. The Nokia Siemens Networks’ management systems (ASPEN, NetViewer and NetAct Transport) enable E2E carrier-grade management which 2 A-1210 includes: provisioning, monitoring and performance analyses. Mobile Backhauling applications The A-1200-X can be used as a 2G/3G/4G aggregator at tail sites and as a tail site aggregator at hub sites. Part of the MBH solution, the A1200-X offers: • Ethernet interfaces for packet-based 2G/3G and LTE backhaul • Advanced synchronization including: Synchronous Ethernet, and IEEE 1588-2008Transparent Clock* • QOS assurances for delay, jitter and loss • Standard OAM mechanisms and protocols (Y.1731 and IEEE802.1ag) • Managed by the Nokia Siemens Networks’ ASPEN E2E management system IP/MPLS core Cost-Optimized CPE with high service availability for business customers The A-1200-X boasts a broad range of intelligent network services, featuring granular Quality of Service (QoS) and sub-50 ms protection that enable service providers to rapidly provision secure MEF compliant Ethernet access with Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Benefits include: • Fast troubleshooting with the help of strong OAM functions • Flexible customer traffic mapping schemes • Support for single-strand fiber, thus reducing fiber costs • Ease of management and service provisioning The A-1200-X includes advanced synchronization capabilities and plays a significant role in the end-to-end synchronization scheme of Nokia Siemens Networks Carrier Ethernet Transport solution. A-1200-X synchronization capabilities include: M Nokia Siemens Networks Carrier Ethernet LAs rd S Ha Synchronization The A-1200-X supports a standard mechanism for connectivity check (CCM 802.1ag) in configurable interval ranges between 10 ms and 10 s. Upon failure in either the access or in the MPLS domain, the end-to-end service switchover is triggered and protection takes place. Protection e vic Ser The A-1200-X fully supports SLAs defined by MEF service definitions including: • Committed Information Rate (CIR) • Peak Information Rate (PIR) • Service Priority • Protection levels The A-1200-X has been designed to deliver the SDH/SONET-like reliability that Carriers demand, but with the Performance, Scalability and CostEffectiveness of Carrier Ethernet. The state-of-the-art protection mechanism of the A-1200-X can achieve sub-50 ms fail-over time with guaranteed E2E BW. Using a multi-layered modular architecture, ASPEN software supports large, dynamic carrier-class networks and is ideal for minimizing hardware deployment time, service planning, provisioning and monitoring. M The A-1200-X delivers flexible, affordable Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, supporting pointto-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint services. Customer traffic can be mapped to connections using any combination of rules from layer 1 to layer 3.
