Ethernet Access Devices: ML600

Ethernet Access Devices (EAD) from Actelis Networks enable delivery of high-speed Carrier Ethernet services over the existing copper and fiber infrastructure. The ML600s are a compact, cost-effective Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) EADs that deliver up to 100 Mbps symmetrical Ethernet traffic at fiber quality over existing copper pairs.

Available in 1 to 8 copper pairs and fiber configurations, the ML600 EAD can be deployed in a Point-to-Point configuration, optional copper add-drop chain, or as the CPE in a Point-to-Multi-Point configuration with Actelis’ EFM switches. With its superior performance, extensive functionality and low cost, the ML600 EAD platforms offer rapid service delivery and allow for complete utilization of the existing network infrastructure.

The ML600 EAD platform is interoperable with any standard Ethernet switch, router or hub. Compliant with Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) specifications, ML600 EAD systems seamlessly integrate into Carrier Ethernet Networks. Equipped with four 10/100Base-T Ethernet interfaces and an optional 100Base-FX or 1000Base-FX Small Form Factor (SFP) port, the ML600 EAD platform allows assignment of a service or a customer per port. A DS3/E3 uplink can be used to connect to legacy networks in the 100Base-FX SFP version.

Implementing the standard IEEE 802.3ah-2004 (EFM) long reach Ethernet-over-copper specification, the ML600 EAD platform bonds up to 8 copper pairs together to create a 2Base-TL aggregated link. The systems support current and evolving Ethernet Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, and have the highest available packet throughput efficiency.

All ML600 EAD models provide 802.1q VLAN-aware wire-speed bridging, double tagging (VLAN stacking) for end-user VLAN transparency, L2 (Ethernet priority) and L3 (ToS/Diff-Serv) classification with four traffic classes, RSTP/STP, Link Aggregation, bandwidth monitoring, Multicast/Broadcast limiting and advanced OAM functionality.

The ML640 series lets service providers create an intelligent Ethernet access edge with advanced bandwidth control and traffic management features, fully compliant with the MEF 9 and 14 specifications. The ML640 enables flexible service provisioning using Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs) with flexible mapping and Quality of Service capabilities that maximize the efficiency of access bandwidth. QoS strictly enforces Service Level Agreements for each subscriber and Class of Service using VLAN or CoS based rate limiting, allowing service providers to safely aggregate multiple services or multiple subscribers on the same access port.

Optional Features
Optical Interfaces
Choice of optical interfaces accommodate short and long distances as needed with speeds of 100 Mbps and up to 1000Mbps with connections over the existing copper and fiber infrastructure.

Copper Add-Drop EADs
The Copper Add-Drop EADs allow multiple nodes to be connected to each other over copper, in a linear chain or ring configuration. Each node has the full switching capabilities of the ML600 EAD and can drop and add Ethernet traffic at each location, while transferring the rest of the traffic through.
