Cisco Metro access chassis - Modular expansion base - 6U - refurbished - rack-mountable
- Reduce capital and operational expenditures
- Deploy a network infrastructure that supports revenue-enhancing services
- Offer high service availability to a demanding customer base
The Cisco ONS 15310-MA is a carrier-class MSPP that efficiently switches Ethernet and TDM traffic for use in metropolitan and regional optical networks. Its flexibility and scalability allow it to support 1.5-Mbps to 2.5-Gbps TDM, as well as 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet interfaces. The Cisco ONS 15310-MA can aggregate traffic at a central office or collect services at the customer premises. At a central office, it can groom traffic from multiple customer-located network elements.

Small footprint
The Cisco ONS 15310-MA provides unprecedented service density in its compact form factor. The small footprint increases network design flexibility, allowing service providers to deploy a powerful MSPP in small cabinets where space is limited, and deliver higher-bandwidth services in remote locations. It also helps service providers conserve space in central offices. Finally, as a customer access platform, the Cisco ONS 15310-MA can be more easily deployed in telecommunications closets of enterprise customers, resulting in more cost-effective and faster service activation.

Multilayer Ethernet-over-SONET transport
Traditional Ethernet-over-SONET services consist of simple Layer 1 mapping of Ethernet frames into SONET for transport between two endpoints where SONET protection mechanisms are used to deliver sub-50-ms resiliencies. Consequently, bandwidth must be reserved for both working and protected traffic, resulting in underutilization of available bandwidth. Furthermore, services such as voice over IP (VoIP), digital videoconferencing, surveillance, and VPNs all require interconnectivity between multiple end locations. Using the traditional Ethernet-over-SONET point-to-point model, these solutions become very complicated and highly inefficient.
