1.4. Applications and Services
MSAP2000 is mainly applied towards Access Networks, to
eliminate restrictions caused by line shortage and transmission
distance. MSAP2000 can also be used for Number Exchanging
between stations, CO collocation, construction deferral, and
Inter-trunking between stations, data transmission, and
broadband network deployment.
Number Exchanging
Between Stations
When the quantity of phone numbers in Station A is insufficient,
yet there are surplus numbers in Station B, MSAP2000 can allow
numbers to be exchanged between Stations, by long-distance
transmission with optic fibers. This will help Service Providers to
save on redundant investment of numbers.
CO collocation
With copper wires, Exchange Stations can only provide service up
to a maximum of 5 kilometers, which means that exchange
stations will need to be set up at every 5-kilometer radius. With
scarcity of land and high construction costs in mind, this hardly
seems such as a feasible option for Service Providers. With
MSAP2000, 7560 lines of subscribers can be transmitted using
one pair of optic fibers. With optic fiber deployment, exchange
stations will only need to be set up at every 30-kilometer radius,
which will help Service Providers to save tremendously on
construction costs.
Construction
Deferral
For remote or suburban areas, where the subscriber quantity has
not yet reached the economic scale required for the building of
exchange stations, MSAP2000 may be installed in airless
environments or in outdoor cabinets, to substitute as an exchange
station or remote Module. This will help Service Providers to
save on construction cost.
Application of
Leased Line
Services
MSAP2000 provides E1, ISDN, G.SHDSL and Nx64Kbps ports
with built-in cross connect functions. Data transmission services
can connect directly to the DDN network, without having to link to
the Exchange Server.
Inter-Trunking
Between Stations
MSAP2000 can serve as an inter-trunk between stations. To
enhance the quality of mobile phone services, Service Providers
are continuously setting up mobile base stations, to increase area
coverage for wireless transmission. All mobile base stations
need to transmit their services back to the Exchange Station to be
processed, but MSAP2000 can serve as an inter-trunk between
Exchange Stations and PSTN Stations, by STM-1 optic
transmission via its E1 port.
Integration of
ADSL and
Ethernet, for
Broadband
Network Services
Service Providers are facing increasing challenges in the fiercely
competitive field of Telecommunications Services. The need for
integrated voice, data and video services are becoming
increasingly urgent. MSAP2000 presents the ideal solution, by
integrating an array of services, to satisfy diverse customer
requirements at a low cost. A Telecommunications Network
installed with MSAP2000 can provide immediate broadband
services by simply adding an ADSL2/2+, or Ethernet interface
module. This will save on the additional cost towards DSLAM
deployment.
