New! OS-Mux Family - Please ask for pricing

OS-Mux Converters allow users to combine Ethernet and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) services over Orthogon's OS-Gemini wireless Ethernet bridges.

Orthogon Systems is extending the applicability of wireless Ethernet bridges with the introduction of OS-MUX. The OS-MUX allows users to transport legacy TDM traffic over the OS-Gemini wireless Ethernet bridge. With the flexibility of two or four E1/T1 ports plus two Ethernet ports for LAN extension or connection to a user’s PoP, the OS-MUX provides a cost-effective solution for extension of multi-service networks.

How it Works:

The OS-MUX converts the data stream from its user E1/T1 ports into packets for transmission over the OS-Gemini wireless Ethernet bridge. These packets are output to the OS-Gemini via the Ethernet port. At the far end of the radio link, a remote O-MUX converts the packets back to TDM traffic. Any additional capacity from the OS-Gemini link is presented to the user at the two user Ethernet ports on the OS-MUX High performance buffering and forwarding techniques minimize end-to-end processing delay.

Key product features include:

• TDM leased-line extension over wireless Ethernet bridges
  
• Support for both framed and unframed T1/E1
  
• Two or four T1/E1 ports
  
• One radio and two user Ethernet switch ports
  
• Dedicated external clock port
  
• Direct powering from OS-Gemini PIDU Plus
  
• QoS support by VLAN tagging/priority labeling to IEEE 802.1p
  
• Dynamically controlled fractional T1/E1 transport, allowing best use of wireless bandwidth when a limited number of timeslots have to be transferred
  
• Management via web browser or SNMP-based NMS
  
• Compact 1U-high enclosure

The new OS-MUX is ideal for campus network applications, inter-building PBX and LAN extensions, wireless ISP backhaul, MSO voice and data services, and telco trunking. For a cost that is much lower than leasing E1/T1 lines, the OS-MUX provides an easy-to-implement, carrier-class solution for extending voice or voice-and-data networks.
