Ethernet Access Devices: ML650

The ML650 Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) from Actelis Networks® enable simultaneous delivery of T1/E1s (MEF 8 CESoETH) and high-speed carrier Ethernet services. With up to 4 T1/E1s and 100 Mbps* of fiber-quality symmetrical Ethernet traffic over existing copper pairs, the ML650 EADs provide a cost-effective solution for mobile and PBX backhauling applications. Available in 8 copper pairs and fiber configurations, the ML650 EADs can be deployed in a Point-to-Point configuration or as the CPE in a Point-to-Multipoint* configuration with Actelis’ EFM aggregation platforms. With its superior performance and extensive functionality, the ML650 EADs offer rapid service delivery over a converged Ethernet facility, allowing for complete future-proof utilization of the existing network infrastructure.

The ML650 introduces a novel highly accurate and reliable synchronization mechanism. This solution complies with wander and jitter requirements of ITU-T G.823/G.824 for synchronization interfaces. Actelis has developed this advanced clock transmission mechanism to eliminate all carrier concerns related to clock recovery over pseudo wire. This unique architecture ensures that ML650 EADs provide Actelis’ customers with the best clock accuracy and reliability of any copper-based backhaul solution.

The Actelis ML650 EAD is the first copper-based solution that can truly support a comprehensive and seamless migration strategy for wireless backhaul. With its definitive solution to the clock synchronization problem, Actelis’ ML650 is finally enabling wireless backhaul providers to fully utilize the copper networks using Ethernet and pseudo wire technology to complement and/or replace traditional T1/E1 backhaul circuits.

All ML650 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 8 traffic classes, RSTP/STP, bandwidth monitoring, Multicast/Broadcast limiting, 2Base-TL rate limiting, and Link Aggregation (LAG) on all Ethernet ports. The ML650 lets service providers create an intelligent Ethernet access edge with advanced bandwidth control and traffic management features that are fully compliant with MEF 9, 14 and 18 specifications. The ML650 enables flexible service provisioning using Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs) and Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities that maximize the efficiency of access bandwidth and strictly enforce Service Level Agreements for each subscriber and class of service, allowing service providers to safely aggregate multiple services or multiple subscribers on the same access port.

Implementing the IEEE 802.3ah-2004 (EFM) long-reach, Ethernet-over-copper specification, the ML650 EAD bonds up to 8 copper pairs together to create a 2Base-TL aggregated link. The systems support current and evolving Ethernet QoS requirements and has the highest available packet throughput efficiency. Powered by Actelis Networks’ award-winning EFMplus™ technology, the rate, reach and reliability are increased significantly using advanced Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM), Dynamic Spectral Shaping (DSS), and Cross Talk Cancelation (CTC)* techniques. These technologies provide the best rate/reach performance and most resilient fiber-quality transmission, ensuring carrier-class service availability.

The ML650 EAD can also be used with Actelis’ XR239 EFM Repeaters to increase the loop length using remote powering units, such as our PFU-8 or PFU-8E systems.

The ML650 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).
