TDM over IP / Ethernet
Metrodata is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of a range of solutions for legacy service delivery and extension across Ethernet and/or IP backbone networks (TDM over IP). The PacketLINK family provides single and multi-port connectivity solutions for n x 64Kbps Serial and E1/T1 or E3/DS3 services across Ethernet/IP networks, including either simple point-to-point links or more complex WAN infrastructures.
The PacketLINK range uses pseudowire TDM circuit extension to ensure effective clock recovery & synchronisation across the IP/Ethernet network backbone.
PacketLINK products may be used by Telecoms Service Providers to provision TDM services over Layer 2 or Layer 3 networks, or by Enterprise customers to extend E1 or Serial connections between devices across an Ethernet or IP backbone.
Across the range, in parallel with TDM service delivery, Ethernet 'LAN-side' connections may be broken out from an IP WAN service, with prioritisation to ensure uninterrupted traffic flow to the TDM connection(s), in order to maintain effective end-to-end clock synchronisation.
Telecoms Service Providers might, for example, use this to provision connections for both Data services (via Ethernet) and ISDN-30 services for non-SIP PBX Voice Trunks (via E1), both over a single IP service connection.
Our initial TDM over IP / Ethernet product line-up is summarised below:
- PacketLINK PL1100: Single-port E1 or T1 extension or service delivery over Ethernet/IP
- PacketLINK PL1100S: Single-port n x 64Kbps (up to 4Mbps) Serial extension over Ethernet/IP
- PacketLINK PL1400F: 2 or 4-port n x 64Kbps Serial or E1/T1 (or a combination of Serial and E1/T1) extension over Ethernet/IP
- PacketLINK PL3100: Single-port E3 or DS3 extension or service delivery over Ethernet/IP
