Telco Systems T-Marc 3208SH – Advanced Wireless Backhaul Demarcation Device
The T-Marc® 3208SH Advanced Wireless Backhaul Demarcation Device is a temperature-hardened, Carrier Ethernet demarcation device to enable service providers and wireless operators to backhaul traffic from multiple 2G, 3G and 4G cell sites over Carrier Ethernet. It offers future-proof and flexible deployment by implementing multiple transport technologies, including Carrier Ethernet (IEEE802.1Q and TLS) and IP/MPLS L2VPN to provide data services such as Virtual Private Wire Services (VPWS), Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) and Hierarchical VPLS (HVPLS) with no licensing fees, allowing for better transport technology utilization that fits providers’ needs today and in the future.
TDM Evolution Support
As most operators are evolving their networks from legacy TDM networks, towards packet technologies, some services remain TDM-based and require a migration path. T-Marc 3208SH has two expansion slots that can accommodate line cards providing TDM emulation using Circuit Emulation Services (CES) with up to 16 E1/ T1 ports.
- High capacity, wire speed non-blocking MPLS / Carrier Ethernet demarcation switch
- Carrier-grade, highly resilient, flexible design
- Circuit Emulation Services (CES) for delivery of traditional TDM or leased line services
- MPLS capabilities to provide access to VPWS, VPLS and HVPLS
- Hierarchical Quality of Service (HQoS) and service granularity support
- Extensive field-proven operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) support
- Extended operating temperature: -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F)
- MEF, IEEE, ITU-T and IETF standards compliance for multi-vendor interoperability
- EdgeGenie Service Management Platform for full lifecycle support of Ethernet services
- ETSI 300 compliant, 1.5RU height, 10’’ deep, 19” rack mountable
