LoopStar® 1600
SONET Multi-Service Transmission Platform
The LoopStar® 1600 is an advanced, next-generation SONET multi-service transmission platform
that allows service providers to cost-effectively aggregate, deploy, and manage TDM and Ethernet
services. With its compact design and ability to scale from an OC-3 to an OC-192 network, the
LoopStar 1600 provides a low-cost, high-growth solution for adding services at the central office
or at the edge of the network.
When used with the LoopStar 800 or LoopStar 810 products, the LoopStar 1600 provides
a cost-effective aggregation point for multiple subtending rings. The LoopStar 1600 also can
function as multiple virtual Add-Drop Multiplexers (ADMs) for hub node applications. In addition,
with its versatile cross-connect architecture and high port count, this platform is an efficient
alternative to existing cross-connect systems that require significantly more rack space at two
to three times the cost.
Benefits:
Spec Sheet
Aggregates and delivers TDM and Ethernet •
services over a single transport platform.
Provides efficient support for •
point-to-point, point-to-multipoint,
or multipoint-to-multipoint traffic.
Supports network interfaces from an •
OC-3 to OC-192 and tributary interfaces
from OC-3 to OC-48.
Scales Ethernet services from sub 10BaseT •
rates up to Gigabit Ethernet using QoS in
conjunction with EoS features.
Offers modular slot design to grow the •
network cost-effectively and add services
when required.
Provides multiple network protection •
schemes including UPSR, BLSR, and LAPS.

Prevents tributary card failures from affecting •
customer traffic with economical n:1
tributary card protection.
Protects equipment (cross-connections and •
management) with redundant cross-connect
and management cards.
Reduces CAPEX by providing MADM and •
3/1 DACS functionality in a single platform.
Provides sufficient traffic grooming •
capabilities to reduce the need for
costly DACs ports.
Utilizes the same management systems as •
those for the LoopStar 800/810: LoopStar
SONET EMS, LoopStar SONET EMS LCT,
LoopStar SONET Web-based LCT.

SONET Multi-Service Transmission Platform
Features
Software selectable network protection offers •
support for UPSR, BLSR, or Linear 1+1 (LAPS).
EoS (GFP, low order VCAT, and LCAS) allows for •
more efficient use of SONET bandwidth without
affecting the existing infrastructure.
VLAN support with 802.1Q-in-Q allows for •
transparent transport of customer VLANs,
simplifying the management of customer
Ethernet traffic.
Supports the following Ethernet business services: •
EPL, EVPL, EPLAN, EVPLAN.
M13 and transmux support enables efficient use •
of network resources without sacrificing traffic
1600
routing capabilities.

Space-Saving Design
The compact 3 RU (5.25” x 17” x 12”) LoopStar 1600 allows for ease of installation in tight rack
spaces in central office environments. As OC-48 access networks become more prevalent, this product’s
compact design will support customer premises applications as well.

Line Card Options
High-density support for DS1, DS3, OC-3, •
and OC-12 tributaries provides a cost-effective
aggregation point for access networks.
Flexible n:1 protection for DSn interfaces •
promotes further operational cost savings.
3 RU design allows for central office or customer •
premises deployments.
Low power consumption (160W typical) saves •
on operation expenses.
Cross-connect matrix and management function •
is provided on one integrated card, reducing both
capital and operational expenses.
Most tributary cards are interchangeable with •
the LoopStar 800, reducing spare inventory.
Two card slots for management, control, •
and cross-connect functionality
