Multi-Service Access System

This is UMUX

Multi-Service Access Node UMUX Compact and Multi-Service

UMUX is a multi-service access system that is
deployed by network operators worldwide in
over 100 countries. Several tens of thousands
of network elements are active in telecommu-
nication networks with railways, energy suppli-
ers, at airports, alongside of pipelines and with
telecommunication service providers. Since its
introduction, UMUX is in a constant process of
new feature development and is adapted to
our customers’ requirements continuously.
UMUX is a robust system that is perfect for out-
door applications. It covers numerous applica-
tions, from voice, data and Ethernet services.
UMUX combines the provision of carrier-grade
multi-service on copper and optical fibre with
multiplex and aggregation features in one sin-
gle network element.
The services available incorporate legacy
telephony, business accesses and leased line
connections as well as new services such as
Ethernet connections.
The integrated SDH, Gigabit Ethernet and ATM
functionality for connection to the backbone
network makes it an integral component of any
transport network.

Its extensive safety and redundancy functions The UMUX solution ensures lowest cost of own-
make UMUX an ideal access system for ership by combining these characteristics with
an extensive management system and simple
■ Operators from traffic infrastructures, like
handling.
railways, public transportation, motorways,
tunnels, waterways and airports
■ Energy suppliers, municipal utilities, opera-
tors of oil and gas pipelines
■ Operators of static radio networks, cellular
and professional radio, broadcasting stations
for radio and television

UMUX provides extensive multi-service capa-

bilities. Operators can provide very profitable
services with only one access system; saving
space and streamlining operational process.

Flexible System Design
With subracks available in two sizes, different
desktops and numerous control and interface
modules, the UMUX platform can be config-
ured for operation in any network topology and
for any kind of service.
All line cards can be used in both subracks to
achieve maximum flexibility. This reduces spare
holding costs and allows an effective “Grow on
Demand”.
Two Subracks for ideal Connectivity
■ The UMUX 1500 is suitable for large access
nodes where large numbers of subscribers
accumulate and are transferred to the core
network.
■ The compact UMUX 1200 is designed for
small to medium access nodes, for installa-
tion in BTS (Base Tranceiver Station)/Node B
locations or in cabinets alongside traffic
infrastructures.

The UMUX delivers optical Ethernet and SHDSL

to connect broadband services. Together with
the integrated V5 interfaces, UMUX is ideal
for the set-up of conventional voice or multi-
service access networks.

 UMUX – Wide Range of Interfaces
UMUX supports a large number of different
network and application interfaces. The fol-
lowing section presents the most important
interfaces and functions of UMUX.

Data Services
Whether connecting a PLC (programmable
logic controller), a pipeline valve, video cam-
eras for surveillance in or outside buildings,
routers to a network or a ticket box at the
entrance hall of a train station to a network -
they all have common transport requirements
but one thing is always different: the type of
interface.
To solve this dilemma UMUX provides a variety
of data interfaces and services. Binary con-
tacts, sub bit rates, a variety of data interfaces
(e. g. G.703, V.11, V.24, V.35) up to Ethernet
10/100BaseFX and Gigabit Ethernet with
transmission capacity of 1 Gbps are available.
For business customers SHDSL is available with
a variety of subscriber interfaces and optional
regenerators.
Different ATM interfaces with 34/45 Mbps and
SDH STM-1 interfaces (optical or electrical)
are also offered as subscriber interfaces. SDH
STM-1/-4 interfaces with a maximum rate of
622 Mbps are available for the uplink. By using
SFP connections for the SDH interfaces you
can adapt the interfaces easily to local require-
ments.
These numerous features with data services are
topped off by the SDH Add-Drop Multiplexer
and Digital Cross Connect functions.

Ethernet Services Voice Services

Ethernet, once only deployed for local con-
nections, is growing in its importance. UMUX
meets this demand with its broad spectrum of
Ethernet functionalities that coexist in a net-
work element besides voice and data services.
These functionalities include switching and
routing, PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) and EoS
(Ethernet over SDH) belong to these require-
ments. Remote units can be supplied with a
remote feeding voltage of up to 30 V using
PoE+. This way you can operate VoIP
telephones, routers or even WiMAX micro base
stations in locations where no local power sup-
ply is available.
In addition to data und Ethernet services a
wide range of specific functions make UMUX
also ideal to provide legacy POTS and ISDN
services in dedicated networks.
Beside voice conferencing directly in UMUX,
special interfaces in the telematics and rail-
ways are supported, including E&M interfaces,
telephones with an exchange battery connector
(magneto telephones) and telephone exchange
interfaces.

Using the EoS functionality you can forward

Ethernet data via SDH. With EoS you can offer
Ethernet interfaces at single access points and
transport data in a uniform SDH network. The
UMUX solution realise the extensive SDH safety
functions and the flexibility of Ethernet in one
single network element.

The versatility of UMUX enables a wide spec-
trum of applications in telecommunication
networks. Only some examples are described;
please contact us for the solution for your
network.
Multi-Service Networks
Multi-service networks have to support voice
and data services in a cost-effective manner
at various locations, in exchanges, in street
cabinets or directly in multi-tenant buildings.
The UMUX product family meets these require-
ments in the different network architecture and
provides the desired type of service.

Voice and data service can be flexibly com-

bined and provided directly into the customer’s
premises. Broadband data services are sup-
ported according to the relevant standards:
SDH, ATM and IP.

 UMUX – Benefits

Designed for highest Availability One Management System

UMUX is designed for outdoor application. All
components have an extended operation tem-
perature range of -20 °C to +70 °C. This ensures
seamless operation even in extreme environ-
mental conditions.
UMUX provides the services in carrier-grade
quality. For this purpose, all critical UMUX units
can be installed redundantly in a subrack to
guarantee maximum availability. These units
include the control units, SDH uplink units,
power supply etc.
Alternative/protection routing mechanisms
available on the UMUX reinforce this concept
and guarantee highest availability:
■ Multiplex Section Protection (MSP)
■ Sub Network Connection Protection (SNCP)
■ Linear Trail Protection (LTP)
■ 1+1 Equipment Protection (EQP)
■ 1+1 Path Protection
■ Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
The management of all UMUX units is an inte-
gral part of the UCST/UNEM management sys-
tem. Due to its structure UNEM can be scaled
well and can be easily adapted to your network
environment. It provides an intuitive graphical
user interface (GUI) that presents a custom-
ised network structure. For the integration
into higher OSS (Operational Support System)
SNMP, CLI and XML interfaces are available. So
operators have their familiar environment and
the implementation process is accelerated.
Furthermore the optional UNEM Networking
Package provides automatic trail provisioning
and management.
UMUX – All in One
Due to this wide spectrum of interfaces and
functions, UMUX is the ideal network element
in a heterogeneous environment. With UMUX
it’s easy to merge different services in one sin-
gle compact network element, replacing many
network elements. This will save costs during
provisioning, for maintenance and training.
