Cost-Effective, Smooth Migration to Packet Optical Networking
The FLASHWAVE 4100 ES platform controls costs with flexible options
to reuse existing resources. This strategy maintains TDM service
performance, while offering dynamic bandwidth allocation resulting in
optimal efficiency for differentiated services over existing SONET
equipment. As SONET bandwidth becomes exhausted, COE services
can be scaled over new Ethernet network facilities using an available
port on the existing COE service unit, without adding shelves or
common equipment.
COE: Ethernet with Advanced Traffic Engineering
Ethernet, fundamentally a connectionless technology, is now the
method of choice for delivering high-bandwidth data services.
However, next-generation mobile backhaul, high-definition video
distribution and mission-critical enterprise services require
deterministic, high-performance, high-availability connections. These
kinds of connections are only possible in a connection-oriented
environment. The frame delay, packet loss and service protection
performance of connectionless networks are unacceptable for critical
voice, video and storage applications. The answer: COE, the basis for
carrier-class high-reliability, simple-to-manage integrated networks
that support packet, optical, and TDM networks.
Multiple Levels of Fault Tolerance and Management
The FLASHWAVE 4100 ES platform provides multiple levels of fault
tolerance and management, including resilient hardware and
redundant power, Ethernet facility protection using IEEE 802.3ad link
aggregation, card and network protection using SONET 50 ms path
protection. Integrated Y.1731 fault management and performance
measurement offers early warning of service impairments to ensure
non-stop operation. The Fujitsu NETSMART® 1500 Management System
simplifies service assurance, leveraging the product’s integrated
802.3ah link OAM and connection admission control for EVC CIR
bandwidth reservation.

Convergence and Resiliency
Integrated DS1 Network Interface Unit (NIU) Functionality
The FLASHWAVE 4100 ES DS1 service card with integrated NIU condenses trouble ticket resolution time and expedites installation. Its extensive
loopback capabilities, NPRM, 30-day PM binning, CI alarm recognition and integrated multi-pattern Bit Error-Rate Testing (BERT) provide a
powerful tool set to expedite installation, mitigate service issues and reduce truck rolls. As a result, operational expenses are reduced.
Integrated In-Service Y.1731 OA&M
The FLASHWAVE 4100 ES system eliminates the need for an external Ethernet NID, shrinking both footprint and cost when using the
FLASHWAVE 4100 ES integrated Y.1731 responder along with a test head such as the FLASHWAVE 9410 system or equivalent. Network operators
provision in-service performance measurements including delay, delay variation and frame loss, without affecting production data.

High Availability Resilient Card Pair
Carrier-class networks require high availability with no single point of failure. The COE Ethernet service unit offers multiple provisioning options
for self-healing resilient hardware operation. Client interfacing options include IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation (LAG), optical Y-cable and dual
Ethernet. The LAG option splits working and protect Ethernet segments across the resilient card pair, offering both facility and hardware
resiliency. The optical Y-cable option provides high-availability hardware resiliency by interfacing optical ports to early model devices not
supporting IEEE 802.3ad LAG. Dual Ethernet mode operates with client ports active on both cards where EVCs automatically fail over to one card
in the event of hardware impact.

FLASHWAVE® 4100 ES
Micro Packet Optical Networking Platform
Ideal for Mobile Backhaul
Demand for higher speed wireless data services continues to surge as
new applications proliferate. To tap into this revenue opportunity,
wireless service providers are deploying 3G and 4G wireless
technologies, increasing the number of cell sites and boosting the
bandwidth capacity of the backhaul network.
The FLASHWAVE 4100 ES Micro Packet ONP provides a complete
end-to-end solution at the cell tower, aggregation site, or MSC where
backhaul providers can:
While these new technologies are expanding, there are still
approximately 190,000 existing cell sites in the US that require T1 TDM
backhaul. This large installed base will remain in operation for many
years, resulting in a continued need to provide T1 mobile backhaul
transport.
• Provision 3G/4G backhaul with COE service units
Complete Backhaul Support
The compact 2RU FLASHWAVE 4100 ES Micro Packet ONP is ideal for
mobile backhaul applications due to its integral support for T1 and
Ethernet service delivery. Existing FLASHWAVE 4100 ES cell site
deployments currently providing T1 backhaul for legacy 2G/3G services
can be upgraded to deliver the high-performance COE capabilities
required for Ethernet-based 3G and 4G wireless services. The platform
is environmentally hardened to operate within the harsh environment
of a cell site outside plant (OSP) cabinet, and can operate over
standard –48 V DC or +24 V DC through its auto-sensing on-board
power system.
