Ethernet Access Devices: ML640


The ML640 Ethernet Access Device (EAD) is the most intelligent Ethernet service delivery on the market. Using the existing copper network, the ML640 can deliver up to 100 Mbps of symmetrical Ethernet traffic at fiber quality over existing voice grade copper. The ML640 comes in two models capable of supporting either 4 or 8 copper pairs, and has an optional SFP interface supporting a 100 Mbps optical connection.

The ML640 EAD can be deployed back-to-back in a point-to-point topology, or in multipoint topologies with Actelis’ Ethernet Aggregation switches. With its superior performance, extensive functionality and low cost, the ML640 EAD offers rapid service delivery and allows for complete utilization of the existing network infrastructure.

The ML640 EAD platform is interoperable with any standard Ethernet switch, router, or hub. Compliant with Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) specifications, ML640 EAD systems seamlessly integrate into carrier Ethernet networks. Equipped with four 10/100Base-T Ethernet interfaces and an optional 100Base-FX small form factor port, the ML640 EAD allows assignment of a service or a customer per port. A DS3/E3 uplink can be used to connect to legacy networks.

The ML640 EAD models let 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 EAD enables flexible service provisioning using Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs) with flexible mapping and Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities that maximize the efficiency of access bandwidth. The ML640 EAD enforces Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for each subscriber and Class of Service based on the MEF 10 traffic management model, allowing service providers to safely aggregate multiple services or multiple subscribers on the same Ethernet Access uplink.

Powered by Actelis Networks’ field-proven EFMplus™ tech­nology, the rate and reach are increased significantly using advanced Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) techniques. This technology ensures the best rate/reach performance and most resilient fiber-quality transmission, ensuring carrier-class service availability. All ML640 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.

The ML640 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 TL1 command line interface and SNMP, using standard MIBs for seamless integration with third party Network Management Systems (NMS).
