We may see products appear in next three years.In Fujitsu and CCL/Taiwan, 128 different wavelengthes on the same strand of fiber was reported working in the lab. z We may have optical routers between end systems that can take one wavelenght signal, covert to different wavelenght, send it out on different links. Some are designing traditional routers that covert optical signal to electronical signal, and use time slot interchange based on high speed memory to do the switching, the convert the electronic signal back to optical signal. z With this type of optical networks, we will have a virtual circuit network, where each connection is assigned some wave length. Each connection can have 2.4 gbps tremedous bandwidth. z With inital 128 different wavelength, we can have about 10 end users. If each pair of end users needs to communicate simultaneously, it will use 10*10=100 different wavelength.

GENERAL Local ISDN-PRI is provisioned at the 1.544 Mbps rate via the Primary Rate Interface standard of the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). Local ISDN-PRI provides the Customer with the capabilities of simultaneous access, transmission and switching of voice, data and imaging services via channelized transport. B. TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. Regulations a. ISDN-PRI Service is furnished subject to the availability of suitable facilities and is only served from specially-equipped digital central offices. b. Services from some central offices may not provide all of the features and functionality described in this Service Agreement. c. Local ISDN-PRI Service Arrangement - One or more Service Configurations can be combined to create a Local ISDN-PRI Service Arrangement. Customers may have multiple Local ISDN-PRI Service Arrangements per location, however for each Service Arrangement one Service Configuration 1 must be included. The controlling D channel will always reside on Service Configuration 1. d. The ISDN Digital Facility is ordered separately and not included as part of the Service Configuration. e. The D channel is a 64 Kbps channel that carries signaling and control for the B channels. The capabilities of the D channel are contained within the customer's Service Configuration. f. Service Configuration 1 - The first Service Configuration for any Local ISDN-PRI Service Arrangement must be a Service Configuration 1. Service Configuration I provides twenty-three (23) 64 Kbps B channels and one (1) primary 64Kbps D signaling channel. The primary D channel is an out- of-band signaling channel used to control and route all of the B channel traffic within the Local ISDN- PRI Service Arrangement.

  • Application Note: 2-Cell Test Environment
    Application Note 2-cell Test Environment MD8475A Signalling Tester 1. Background to LTE Rollout Mobile phones appearing in the late 1980s soon experienced rapid evolution of functions from 1990 to 2000 and also spread worldwide as key communications infrastructure. The mobile phone is not limited to just two-way communications between two people but also supports sending and receiving of Short Message Services (SMS), web browsing using the Internet, application and video download, etc., and has become a popular and key cultural tool supporting a fuller lifestyle for many people. Figure 1. Evolution on UE According to one research company, total mobile phone (terminal) shipments at the end of 2010 were valued at $38 billion split between 45% for 2G phones and 49% for 3G. Table 1. Mobile Terminal Shipments Mobile Terminal Shipments ($38 billion total) LTE 1.3% WiMAX 4.0% W-CDMA 40.0% CDMA 9.3% GSM 45.4% 1 MD8475A-E-F-1 The purpose of the shift from 2G to 3G systems was to make more efficient use of frequency bandwidths and was closely related to the explosive growth of the Internet. While still maintaining the easy portability of a mobile phone, users were able to access the information they needed easily at any time and place using the Internet. Similarly to growth of 3G technology, the requirements of LTE systems, which is are positioned in the market as 3.9G to maintain competitiveness with coming 4G systems, are being examined. Connectivity with IP-based core networks must be maintained to support multimedia applications and ubiquitous networks using the packet domain.
