1.1

Scope of application

Business customers today need a modern and efficient communication infrastructure, so they
require extremely flexible, high-performance transmission systems and terminal equipment.
Special attention is hereby paid to meet the demand for highly available, symmetrical broad-
band services with conventional Service Level Agreement (SLA), as well as the requirements
with respect to bandwidth management, separation of the individual voice and data services,
and the guaranteed availability of certain services (e.g. VoIP) using efficient prioritization
algorithms.
The products from the Business IP Gateway (BIG 10) series are specially designed for busi-
ness customers.
The BIG 10 products are optimized for data applications, such as the transmission of Internet
data, the connection of external locations to a central office by setting up virtual local area
networks (VLAN), or the transmission of voice and video information in real time for VoIP
and video conferences. It provides a variety of functions for efficient band-width management
and the prioritization of services and interfaces. The unit can also be used to feed Mini-
DSLAM's in remote outdoor locations that are not linked over an optical fiber connection.
The BIG 10 can be used as stand-alone device for transparent WAN-LAN bridging on layer 2
for individual PC's, too, but also for downstream IAD's, routers and DSLAMs.
The BIG 10 router offers a managed switch and router, thus providing an ideally suited device
to meet different customer requirements.
Data transmission to the IP backbone runs over max. 4 SHDSL lines, which can provide data
rates of up to 5.7 Mbps per each line pair, using the eSHDSL transmission method. The spe-
cial EFM-Bonding allows increasing the total capacity of the business customer access to
even 22 Mbps. Bandwidth expansions can be very easily realized by adding further SHDSL
lines to the bonding group, so that the customer's demand for higher bandwidths will be met
without delay.
The high availability of the business customer access and the individual services provided
along can be guaranteed. The high requirements with respect to continuous availability of the
business access are perfectly met with the optional Dying Gasp function, which signals local
power failures to the system administrator, enabling the network operator to adequately react
in good time.
Local and remote configuration as well as management is realized by the implemented Local
Craft Terminal (LCT) resp. the implemented SNMP-protocol which guarantees that the ef-
forts for OAM are kept to a minimum. Remote management of 3rd party SHDSL DSLAMs is
realized through the implemented EOC-protocol, which can be accordingly adapted in case of
need.
