GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The VersaCAT family adapts Ethernet technoloty to the WAN by efficiently provisioning Ethernet services across existing transport infrastructures while optimizing bandwidth utilization using hitless rate adaptation. It includes a suite of 2.5G and 10G mappers (HOVCAT, HOVCATe,LOVCAT) and multi-protocol WAN MACs

(Meigs-IIE, Campbell-I, and Barrington) that support Virtual Concatenation, fully integrated LCAS and GFP, as well as provides extensive Layer 2 aggregation, encapsulation and management features.

SPECIFICATIONS:

128 Virtual Concatenation Groups (VCGs) of STS-1/VC-3, STS-3C/VC-4, VT1.5/VT2.0, and TU-12/TU-11
