MINI-LINK™ SP 210Multi-Access Aggregation node

The MINI-LINK SP 210 is a carrier Ethernet node with 36 Gbps of switching capacity and built with industrial-grade components, making it ideally suited for extended temperature deployments in cell-sites and first level aggregations, before the metro networks.

The support for MPLS-TP makes it forward-looking and uniquely differentiates the MINI-LINK SP 210 as the most cost-effective and packet-transport optimized backhaul node in its class.

ScalableCarrierEthernetArchitecture

Globally carrier networks are under tremendous pressure to expand the bandwidth capacity at the access and aggregation networks. The advancements of mobile and enterprise devices, offering high-definition video and robust real-time applications, have exposed the architectural limitations of legacy networks. Even with the recent retrofits that add Ethernet capabilities, many of these networks are running at near maximum capacity.

Ericsson is introducing a new class of converged access nodes with dual roles. The MINI-LINK SP series consists of the MINI-LINK SP 110, MINI-LINK SP 210 and MINI-LINK SP 310.

The architectures serves two roles. To provide an ultra-scalable Ethernet foundation that reduces network churns and converge disparate circuit and packet technologies into a single unified packet transport.

The MINI-LINK SP 110 is the most cost-effective andcompactmodel.At1RUhighand16Gbpsofswitchingcapacity, the MINI-LINK SP 110 is suitable for a cell-site or space constraint deployments.

At1.5RU,boththeMINI-LINKSP210and310 support industry largest switching capacities in its class. The MINI-LINK SP 210 supports 36 Gbps and the MINI-LINK SP 310 can handle a massive 120 Gbps of switch-ing capacities to ensure that the nodes have enough future headroom for new innovative IP and video-centric broadband services.

MINI-LINK SP Series – Smart Aggregation Node for Microwave, PDH (TDM) and Ethernet Access NetworksThe diversities of technologies and protocols in the access networks have always posed a challenge for the fixed and mobile convergence. To address this issue, Ericsson has engineered the MINI-LINK SP series as feature-optimized nodes for packet transport services by combining the multi-access aggregation to unmatched flexibility of MPLS.

The MINI-LINK SP 210 is ideally suited as a cell-site and first level aggregation before the metro networks. It comes standard with sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports and two multi-access expansion slots.

The copper gigabit Ethernet ports are designed to aggregatenetworkappliancesandsiteservers.WhiletheSFPportscanbeusedtoextendfiberreachto multiple remote sites or directly connected to Ethernet-enabled microwave radios.

The MINI-LINK microwave radios have long dominated the microwave backhaul. As the new addition, the MINI-LINK SPs are designed to be the central aggregation points for all MINI-LINK radios; ranging fromthestackableMINI-LINKCN,modularMINI-LINKTN and new all-packet MINI-LINK PT.

The combination of MINI-LINK PT and SP families offer a unique media-agnostic approach in boosting the performance to the cell-sites - to full gigabit speed with unprecedented simplicity.

Whenconfiguredinahubandspokedesign,theMINI-LINK SPs serve as the hubs while the spokes, consist-ing of the MINI-LINK PTs, ensure a uniform large area coverage to cell-sites where fiber reach are not avail-able. Such design enables mobile service providers to dramatically reduce trenching cost without sacrificing service availability and capacity - two critical factors in delivering high customer satisfaction and superior mobility services.

In addition, the optional two expansion modules can also aggregate up to 16 T1/E1 ports. This is a cost-effective path for carriers looking to migrate the remain-ing circuits to all-packet. Each T1/E1 expansion module supportsCircuitEmulationServicesviawell-recognizedstandards(SAToP,CESoPSNandMEF-8)thattoenableDS-0circuittransportsoverIP/UDP,VLANorMPLSpseudowires.

EricssonTransportOSReducesBackhaulComplexities

As a second level or metro aggregation node, the MINI-LINK SP 210 is built to deliver simplicity, guaranteed interoperability and uncompromising performance from the start.

The MINI-LINK’s heritage is well proven in the access backhaul area. At the time of this writing, Ericsson has delivered well over 2 million MINI-LINK nodes. And the MINI-LINK SP is designed to provide aggregation and

packet transport features that are not only compatible with other MINI-LINK nodes but also with other equip-ment vendors, specializing in all-packet backhauls. The feature parity and interoperability with other vendors have been proven in various public events.

The Ericsson’s extensive experience in the backhaul area resultsinthenewETOS(EricssonTransportOS).ETOSis a software framework that defines certain critical transportfeatures,suchasprotocols(ProviderBridge802.1ad,CircuitEmulationService,MPLS-TP),OAM(802.3ah,802.1ag,IPBFDandY.1731),packetsync(1588v2,SyncE)andresiliency(G.8032ERP,redundantLSP).The ETOS is not re-purposed from the core or metro operating systems, and it follows a focused approach. The stringent implementations of industry based standards have resulted a blazing fast performance and industry-leading simplicity – a critical factor in the access networks where the number of nodes count in the thousands or in some networks, in the tens of thousands.

ManagementandProvisioningSystems

MINI-LINK SP series supports the Transport Profile forMPLS(alsoknownasMPLSTP).Theseextensionsare part of the wider MPLS feature set, and hence are compatible with existing IP/MPLS, as used in core and metro networks today. MPLS TP is designed to eliminate unnecessary overheads caused by parallel networks, in the same way that IP/MPLS has done but targeted more towards the Access and Aggregation parts of the network.

WhendeployedincombinationwithCES(Circuit EmulationServices),MPLS-TPandProviderBridge tunnels both circuits and Ethernet pseudowires.

To facilitate the complex tunnel managements, MINI-LINK SP 110, 210 and 310 are tightly integrated into Ericsson IP Transport NMS (Network Management System).
