CrossPATH® 3G T1 Cross Connects
High-capacity, compact design saves space - Ideal for growing 2G and 3G base
stations
Grooms traffic to lower backhaul costs - Intuitive GUI simplifies management
The CrossPATH® 3G from Kentrox®—a leading supplier of CSUs and cross connects to wireless carriers and OEMs—sets new standards for efficiency and innovation. Its economical platform delivers high-capacity base station connectivity for the growth of existing networks and seamless migration to next-generation wireless services. The CrossPATH 3G also leverages cutting-edge QoS router and Web browser GUI technology for unparalleled management flexibility and ease of use.
Features
Up to 16 T1 ports in a compact, single rack-unit design
8 T1 port model for mid-size base stations
16 T1 port model for high-density base stations
16 T1 port with DS3 model for high-density base stations with DS3 backhaul
All ports and LEDs on front panel for easy access in rack
Supports 2G to 3G wireless traffic for incremental service upgrades without
additional hardware investments
Complete DS1/DS0 grooming and crossconnect functionality, easily configurable in
browser-based GUI
Best-in-class lightning protection
Graphical user interface simplifies installation and management
Integrated QoS router for Ethernet connectivity and management
Local and remote network monitoring minimize downtime
SNMP and traps support existing management systems
Integrated CSU functionality on all T1 ports for built-in fault protection and
diagnostics
High-capacity, compact design
The CrossPATH 3G is a cost-effective alternative to multiple hardware devices
and unnecessary backhaul circuits. Occupying only a single rack unit, each
CrossPATH 3G model offers an unprecedented concentration of ports—all located on
the front panel
for easy access:
• 8 T1 ports (model 77750) or 16 T1 ports (model 77760) or 16 T1 ports with
channelized DS3 (model 77765)
• 1 V.35 port for E-911 locator equipment
• Four 10/100 Ethernet ports
Ready for base-station growth and 3G service
The migration to 3G service can be an expensive and time-consuming proposition
if the base station equipment consists of single-purpose devices. The CrossPATH
3G’s integrated features simplify the addition of circuits and next-generation
wireless services for a rapid return on investment.
• Exceptional port density to accommodate new circuits and connection types
• Simultaneous support of 2G and 3G services
• 3G services via T1 and Ethernet
• Transparent T1 pass-through of ATM, IMA, and IP traffic
Lower cost of ownership
Cost-saving opportunities extend well beyond the initial purchase and deployment
of equipment.
• Integrated platform allows quicker installations and easier maintenance
• Standards-based features reduce or eliminate the need for retraining field
technicians and network administrators
• Flexible grooming options—any DS0 to any DS0 and any DS1 to any DS1—can
eliminate unnecessary T1 backhaul circuits
• Browser-based GUI makes short work of otherwise difficult tasks, such as configuring
cross connections
• Easy access for local field technicians to the corporate network makes service
visits quicker and easier
Simplified setup and management
The CrossPATH 3G includes a browser-based GUI that dramatically simplifies
installation, configuration and network management:
• Configuring cross connects is quick and easy
• System configurations can be saved and downloaded to other CrossPATH 3Gs for
multi-site deployments or spares
• SNMP and traps support existing management systems In addition, a
command line interface (CLI) is included for remote Telnet access or configuration
scripting. Both the GUI and CLI are accessible through local interfaces or
remotely via redundant in-band connections.
Best-in-class lightning protection
Kentrox has been manufacturing reliable base-station equipment for over a
decade. Unlike equipment from other manufacturers, the CrossPATH 3G’s robust
design will not degrade with each lightning strike. The CrossPATH 3G recovers
fully, resulting in fewer outages and better protection for radio equipment.
QoS routing for flexibility
An integrated QoS Access Router offers management flexibility and IP radio traffic
support on up to two T1 circuits. On-site technicians can plug their laptop
computer into an Ethernet port and access the corporate network to check e-mail,
view provisioning records, or close trouble tickets and service orders.
Remote in-band management of the radios is also
possible by connecting radio Ethernet management ports to the router. With
built-in DiffServ QoS, the router is capable of prioritizing IP traffic from new
radios or E-911 equipment with Ethernet interfaces.
