Expertise Electronics Engineering • Embedded Systems • Real-time Systems • Fault-Tolerant Systems • Custom design from scratch Optimized algorithms Specialized architectures Balanced HW & SW solutions Advanced engineering technologies • In focus: Telecommunications • Wired and Wireless, short and long distance • From end-user terminals to Metro level equipment • Copper lines, classic optics, passive optics, radio channels • Internetworking between Ethernet, ATM, FDDI, GPON and more • Digital video broadcasting • Compliance to standards plus unique features on demand • Our own implementation of telecom protocols, optimized to the hardware platform and the network environment
Metro-level network based on ATM technology • ATM technology advantages: • Guaranteed QoS • Optimal usage of the channel bandwidth • Emulation of synchronous links over ATM • Flexible management of the virtual channels • All the classes of services and adaptation layers introduced by ATM standard are natively implemented • Gateways provide simple connection of various terminal devices • Additional protocols supported: • MPOA - multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM • CES - circuit emulation services (E1 over ATM) • IPOA - IP over ATM; • ATM security specification; • xDSL, DSLAM integration
NGN: Next Generation Network NGN is a multiservice network based on IP protocol and integrating the voice, video and data transmission services • The system “Nickel” is NGN node providing voice, video and data services over ATM or SDH backbone networks • It includes a set of modules: • “TK” - as Ethernet gateways • “TE”– as TDM/VoIP gateways • “TA” – as ATM gateways • “TS” - for backbone SDH links Example of multiservice IP-based network topology
PON: Passive Optical Networks Technology solving the “last mile” problem • GEPON optical line terminal (OLT) • developed by Lanit-Tercom: • 4 GEPON downlink ports supporting up to254 terminals (ONU) connected to each one • 4 uplink ports of GigabitEthernet (1000 BASE-TX) standard plus 2 uplink ports of GigabitEthernet (1000 BASE-X SFP) standard • Supports the wide list of telecom technologies: Ethernet, PON, SNMP, TCP/IP, IGMP, RSTP, QinQ. • PON(Passive Optical Networks) is a new technology of data transmission over optical tree-like structures using only passive splitters in the nodes. • PON uses active devices only at the provider site(OLT, Optical Line Terminal) and subscriber site (ONU, Optical Network Unit). • Applied standards: • ITU-T G.983 -- APON (ATM Passive Optical Network) BPON (Broadband PON) • ITU-T G.984 -- GPON (Gigabit PON) • IEEE 802.3ah -- EPON илиGEPON (Ethernet PON) • IEEE 802.3av -- 10GEPON (10 Gigabit Ethernet PON) • Next generation of the PON OLT • (under development by Lanit-Tercom): • 4 IEEE 802.3av (10GEPON)ports • 80 Gbit/s - the total communication performance • Supports GPON, GEPON and 10GEPON native connectivity in one device.
