Ethernet Access Devices: ML620

Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) from Actelis Networks enable delivery of high-speed Carrier Ethernet services over the existing copper and fiber infrastructure. The ML620 family are cost-effective Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) EADs that deliver up to 100 Mbps of symmetrical Ethernet traffic at fiber quality over existing copper pairs.

Available in 1 to 8 copper-pair configurations, the ML620 EAD can be deployed in a point-to-point configuration or as the CPE in a point-to-multipoint configuration with Actelis’ EFM switches. With its superior performance, extensive functionality and low cost, the ML620 EAD platforms offer rapid service delivery and allow for complete utilization of the existing network infrastructure.

The ML620 EAD platform is interoperable with any standard Ethernet switch, router, or hub. The 1 and 2 pair ML621/622 EAD platform is equipped with four 10/100Base-T Ethernet interfaces, enabling service providers to create a cost-effective Ethernet access edge that is fully compliant with the MEF 9 specifications. The 4 and 8 pair ML624/ML628 also has a 100Base-FX SFP port allowing fiber connectivity.

Powered by Actelis Networks’ award-winning EFMplus™ technology, the rate, reach and reliability are increased significantly using advanced Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) and Dynamic Rate Boost (DRB) techniques. This technology doubles the rate/reach in real-world field deployments. Combined with Actelis industry-leading XR239 EFM Repeaters, the reach can be extended even further. All ML620 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, bandwidth monitoring, and Multicast/Broadcast limiting.

The ML620 EAD platforms can be managed In- and Out-of-Band by the MetaASSIST™ View graphical craft application and via the multi-platform Element Management System, MetaASSIST™ EMS. The management protocols include standard command line interface and SNMP using standard MIBs for seamless integration with third-party Network Management Systems (NMS).

The ML620 EADs provide full Carrier Ethernet over Copper access functionality, including traffic management and QoS application at the edge. One hundred percent compatible with Carrier Ethernet switching equipment in the CO, the ML620 provides bandwidth management and QoS at the edge, making the most efficient use of the bandwidth in the copper access network.
