ZXUR 9000 Board Classification
Switching Board
Processing Board
Interface Board
Switching board deals with the switching in control plane
(BASE) and media plane (FABRIC). Besides the intra-shelf
switching, it also provides switching channels for all intershelf communication.
Processing board handles the protocol processing in control
plane and user plane, and is responsible for the overall
processing and control in terms of O&M.
Interface board offers access of STM-1, E1/T1, CSTM-1 via
interfaces including A, Abis, Gb, Iu, Iub and Iur to meet
various requirements of networking.

to various environment and fast growth of
traffic load, protecting operators’
investment.
ZXUR 9000
The entire system adopts redundancy design
by platform and high reliability. No single
point fault, online software download
supported, loading and being activated in
remote.
Abundant interfaces, flexible networking,
TDM/ATM/IP protocol stack and diverse
physical interfaces like E1, STM-1,
channelized STM-1, FE and GE supported,
flexibly responding to transmission changes.
Complete transmission and processing
resources sharing between GSM and UMTS,
unified RRM realizing users flexible access to
Gu network, balancing loads, maximally
utilizing network resources. Smooth evolution
from 2G to 3G by software upgrading.
All-IP structure meets the requirement of
network evolution. Compared with TDM/ATM
platform, IP switch management features
convenient maintenance, simple configuration,
flexible expansion, higher delivery efficiency
and more flexible delivery mechanism.
Simple configuration, convenient
maintenance. Few board types, including
processing, interface and switching boards,
making configuration simpler and
expansion easier, also reducing spare parts
types, cutting down maintenance cost.
