Service Provider Application

In this application diagram, a Service Provider fiber access network provides Carrier Ethernet connectivity for business services and mobile backhaul services (for a Small Cell and 4G/LTE Macro Cell). An iConverter XM5 Aggregation NID is deployed at a hub location on a 10G fiber ring. The XM5 Aggregation NID provides traffic management and Class of Service prioritization for the Carrier Ethernet services.

The Service Provider deploys copper-to-fiber and a copper-to-copper microNIDs at the demarcation to provide performance monitoring and fault management for SLA assurance, and synchronization timing for the backhaul circuits.

Cable MSO Application 

In this application, a Cable MSO is providing backhaul services to a Wireless Operator with connectivity to a small cell. The Cable MSO is also providing Ethernet business services to a customer within their network.

A 10G fiber transport link connects Cable MSO Network to the Wireless Operator Network with a pair of iConverter XM5 10G NIDs. The iConverter XM5 10G NID at the Cable MSO network provides ENNI demarcation, traffic management and Class of Service prioritization for multiple Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs).

A Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) at the Cable MSO’s hub location distributes coax links terminated with cable modems at the remote locations.

The Cable MSO deploys an iConverter copper-to-copper microNID at the small cell site to provide performance monitoring and fault management for SLA assurance, and synchronization timing for the backhaul circuits. A iConverter GM4 is deployed by the Wireless Operator to provide performance and fault monitoring between the Small Cell site and the WIreless Operator Network.

The Cable MSO is also providing a commercial Carrier Ethernet business service by deploying an iConverter copper-to-copper microNID with a cable modem at the customer premise for the SLA assured commercial service.
