Hatteras Networks extends its award-winning Ethernet service delivery portfolio with the addition of the HN500 Ethernet-over-PDH (EoTDM) demarcation devices. The HN500 series provides a cost-effective solution for bonding multiple PDH signals (T1 or E1) into a single Ethernet connection, delivering over 10 Mbps of Ethernet service capacity to any business customer regardless of rate, reach, or facility availability issues.
The HN500 operates in bookended mode, or in conjunction with Hatteras Networks’ HN6100 Multi-Service Access Solution, to extend Ethernet services to any customer regardless of the intermediate access network. The HN6100 can deliver Ethernet and TDM services over copper or fiber networks, utilizing dedicated facilities or leased service access technologies, delivering traditional and next generation services over any type of access network. The HN6100, in cooperation with Hatteras Networks’ HN400 (Ethernet-over-copper), HN500 (Ethernet-over-PDH), and HN600 (Ethernet and TDM over copper) products, allows carriers to deliver Ethernet and TDM services to their customers, providing an easy migration for TDM customers to the packet networks of today and tomorrow.
The HN500 series delivers Ethernet services in a compact, economical package that easily scales in capacity and service ubiquity as part of Hatteras Networks’ unique access portfolio. The HN500 comes in 4-circuit and 8-circuit variants, supporting up to 16 Mbps of connectivity (in E1 mode, with 12 Mbps of connectivity in T1 mode). A robust service model including flexible VLAN manipulation, traffic shaping, traffic policing, and hierarchical traffic management allows carriers to guarantee the delivery of multiple services competing for the limited bandwidth over an access connection.
The HN500 also benefits from Hatteras Networks’ years of experience deploying end-to-end service OAM standards such as 802.1ag and Y.1731, with quick and easy methods for monitoring service performance and availability across any network. The HN500 series is a plug-and-play demarcation device (similar to the HN400 and HN600 series products), where the central HN6100 platform will automatically update, configure, and monitor all attached HN500 devices – no additional configuration is needed to get a customer up and running. Extensive debugging and troubleshooting capabilities eliminate costly truck rolls.
The product also provides a comprehensive, user-friendly command-line interface (CLI), SNMP, and an embedded Web Manager that requires no client software – all of which can be accessed over any in-band or out-of-band IP interface.
The HN500 series is a temperature-hardened, NEBS3-certified, full front access device, making it universally deployable in any environment – from the central office to a customer premise to a cell tower. With Hatteras Networks’ HN500, carriers can cost effectively deploy high-speed Ethernet-over-PDH services to business sites and cell towers.
