Sub-rate Multiplexing over Digital Data Circuits

Major Australian Telco Carrier Migrates to New IP Platforms Using RAD Multiservice Subrate Multiplexers from Paclink


Application

Service migration to packet switched IP platforms

Challenge

Allow all existing customers to remain in the network without having to replace their core radio equipment

Solution

RAD’s Kilomux subrate multiservice multiplexers

 

Benefits

  • Configurable voice compression rates
  • SNMP alarm management from the network control centre
  • Remote terminal configuration from the network control centre
  • Paclink's ability to provide sales and support throughout Australia

Features

  • Up to 4 interface cards, for VF, Data, or Ethernet
  • Single connection to a V.35 DDS Fastway link
  • Small form factor of only 1RU of equipment rack space
  • Choice of power supplies (48VDC or 240VAC)


In response to the cessation of its dedicated analogue voice and data circuits as a local customer access service, a major Australian telecommunications carrier has adopted a solution from Paclink using Kilomux subrate multiservice multiplexers from RAD Data Communications as part of their emergency services product offering.

The Kilomux was selected for its carrier grade quality and flexibility.

CEO, Paclink

For many years Australian networks have relied on dedicated copper analogue voice and data circuits for local customer premises access. These services will no longer be supported from 31 December, 2009. Any customer networks or carrier service platforms that have relied on them in the past must be migrated onto digital leased lines and packet switched IP platforms.

The major Australian carrier provides a cost efficient and reliable public mobile radio network allowing customers of the service to send and receive high quality voice and data transmissions. The system uses the trunking principle whereby a large number of customers share access to a common pool of resources with users dynamically assigned the exclusive use of a channel for the duration of their call.

Based on the globally accepted non-proprietary open standard for trunking known as MPT 1327, the service offers great flexibility in terms of choice in radio unit hardware. The service, together with a comprehensive range of smart business solutions provides:

  • Cost effective mobile communications with wide area coverage and communication efficiency across mobile fleets
  • An open access network with a full range of terminal supplier choices
  • A variety of data calls to send text messages to an individual or a group
  • Call diversion so users will never miss a call
  • Tracking and monitoring of vehicle status and monitoring and control of systems in remote areas

Smooth Migration

In order to continue providing this valuable network service to its customers, this network is deploying the Kilomux to allow all existing customer and core radio network equipment to remain unchanged, while migrating all analogue (Special Service Network - SSN) links and low speed DDN (Digital Data Network) circuits over to the DDS Fastway infrastructure.

Even customers with several individual analogue voice, DDN data and dial-up modems can be connected.
Craig Martyn,
CEO, Paclink

“Since the entire service is managed end-to-end, this carrier required equipment capable of handling voice and low speed data over the DDS Fastway network,” explains Craig Martyn, CEO of Paclink. “The Kilomux was selected for its carrier grade quality and flexibility, which allows for several different circuits to be combined and carried over a single DDS link,” he continues. “Even customers with several individual analogue voice, DDN data and dial-up modems can be connected over the multiplexer, simplifying the network and allowing a continued high level of service quality into the future.”

Once 256 kbps DDS Fastway service is installed, all previously discrete services can now be carried over a single link, reducing three shelves of equipment down to one rack unit.
