The Haliplex HPX-800 delivers Gigabit Ethernet and TDM services from a SONET/SDH network. The HPX-800's Gigabit capabilities cost-effectively drive E-Line and E-LAN services to the network edge, delivering resilient, managed IP-based services. Consolidating the infrastructure of large network Add/Drop Multiplexers, the HPX-800 achieves both the integrity of TDM and the simplicity of Ethernet in a single, managed unit. The platform delivers traditional TDM E1/T1 and DS3 services as well as Gigabit Ethernet using VCAT with dynamic LCAS. The compact HPX-800 can be wall mounted or two HPX-800s can be rack mounted in 1RU.

An integrated switch fabric ensures maximum bandwidth utilisation by enabling both high order and low order cross connection of tributary services onto available network bandwidth via a user friendly GUI. The platform combines Ethernet and T1/E1 transmission systems over an optical trunk with speeds up to OC-12/STM-4. Four independently configurable Ethernet interfaces are provided. Each interface supports rate limiting and speeds up to the available trunk bandwidth. Up to 4 T1/E1 interfaces are provided on the base system, expandable to 28 E1’s/T1’s with the optional expansion module. An OC-3/STM-1 tributary port provides further expansion and service delivery options.
