combination with passive and active FTTH topologies from one

unified system, known as the integrated Multiservice Access

Platform (iMAP). To maximize footprint and coverage,

operators may choose to initially connect subscribers over

copper lines and gradually migrate them over to fiber as the

network build progresses and the economics allow for the

upgrade. Fur thermore, Allied Telesis offers the industry’s best

range of multiservice IP Triple Play customer premise equipment

engineered to align with fiber build schedules and timelines.

These solutions are known as the intelligent Multiservice

An Allied Telesis FTTD solution is ideal for Federal networks

such as Security, Government, and Defence, thanks to fiber

having the inherent ability to balance your bandwidth and

security needs with your budgetary concerns.

Security concerns plaguing you? Fiber is ideal for confidential and

even top-secret classifications because it is nearly impossible to

tap without detection. Highly reliable, it is also immune to

EMI/RFI interference and unsusceptible to lightning strikes - in

fact, it is vulnerable only to catastrophic failures such as a cable

cut. Complementing the inherent security of fiber, all Allied

Telesis switches incorporate a comprehensive security feature

set for intelligent filtering, ensuring data integrity and protection.

Got an application explosion hitting your desktops? Fiber has that

covered too. Data consumption almost doubles each year, and

f

iber is the only media with the bandwidth to handle that growth

well into the future.The ability to exponentially increase capacity

simply by upgrading terminating equipment eliminates the need

for expensive changes to building infrastructure or cabling.

AT-x900-48FS switch is the ideal solution for FTTD,

The

satisfying both security and budget requirements. With 48 100X

SFP ports and four Gigabit SFP uplinks, front-to-back cooling,

and dual hot swappable AC or DC power supplies, the

AT-x900-48FS switch delivers high reliability and low-cost-per-

port. To complement your fiber switches Allied Telesis has the

industry's most comprehensive portfolio of fiber Network

Interface Cards (NICs) - right up to Gigabit speed.

Do you need more speed on your network? 10 Gigabit Ethernet is

the fastest and most up to the minute of all the Ethernet

standards, offering maximum data throughput for your network

core.The arrival of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, also known as 10GbE,

highlights the growing demand for bandwidth to meet the

needs of the latest business applications and the increasingly

complex nature of data.

The Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x908 industry leading modular

switch offers 10GbE expansion modules and hot swappable XFPs

that provide high-speed, high-capacity fiber links. 10 Gigabit

capable expansion module options are the AT-XEM-1XP 1 x

10GbE (XFP) module, and the future AT-XEM-2XP 2 x 10GbE

Edge

Large enterprise networks often incorporate switches at the

aggregation layer, in order to aggregate the uplinks from the

edge switches that send data to the network core and

application servers as required. As most edge switches typically

contain Gigabit uplink ports, a fiber-capable Gigabit switch is the

ideal solution at your aggregation layer.

If you have a geographically widespread network, such as a

university campus, fiber can aggregate your Gigabit network

connections from remote departments and buildings. Where

required, we can support distances of up to 40 kilometres.

Manufacturing and Noise Immunity

In Industrial environments, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

can be a big problem. Motors, welders and other industrial

equipment generate a tremendous amount of electrical noise

that can cause major problems with copper cabling. Using fiber

in your network ensures complete noise immunity against

EMI/RFI interference.

With an all-fiber network, busy industrial and manufacturing

environments can rest assured that data is uncompromized,

regardless of any commercial or industrial machinery operating

in close proximity.

With the added benefits of no Electromagnetic Compatibility

(EMC) emission, no ground loops, and industrial-level protection

against lightning and high v

oltage surge environments, fiber can

be installed confidently in any environment.

AT-x900-48FS and the Layer 2+ managed AT-8516F/SC

The

switches provide all-fiber Fast Ethernet switching with Gigabit

uplinks. Where more Gigabit connectivity is required, the

AT-9924SP and AT-x900-24XS switches are ideal.
