BLC 6000 MSAP Blades
Each BLC 6000 MSAP blade is an intelligent, high performance, wire speed Ethernet switch with multiple Gigabit Ethernet and 10Gigabit Ethernet ports that are used for blade interconnection, traffic aggregation, network transport and delivery of Ethernet subscriber services. Multiple GigE ports ensure that a service provider’s network has the capacity to deliver the most bandwidth-intensive services.
BLC 6000 MSAP blades are used to deliver a wide array of services from copper, Gigabit Ethernet FTTP and GPON Triple Play residential services to MEF-certified carrier E-Line and E-LAN business services. A series of special function voice and network BLC blades make the circuit-to-packet transition easier. Service providers can mix and match blades to deliver the exact combination of services they wish to deploy.
Distributed Intelligence
More than basic interface modules, BLC 6000 blades employ a distributed packet processing architecture that enables each highly intelligent BLC blade to operate as a standalone network element or as part of a dense access node. Distributed processing is an innovative approach to platform design as performance, capacity and computing power increases with every blade added to the network. This architecture provides deep packet inspection of network traffic at the very edge of the network and enables the functionality of the value-added software features inherent in the BLC 6000 operating system, OccamOS. Because of the distributed intelligence of the BLC architecture each BLC blade provides unmatched configuration flexibility while independently handling extreme subscriber and network traffic demands. Without common processors and centralized control that limit the future of conventional equipment architectures, the Occam BLC 6000 MSAP is an example of innovation unmatched in the access networking market. Unequaled versatility, scalability and performance.
