Eclipse INUe
The Eclipse™ Packet Node Intelligent Node Unit is a highly modular and scalable indoor unit that delivers a unique combination of high capacity hybrid or all-packet transport, Carrier Ethernet/IP networking, and comprehensive Mission Critical Microwave features, enabling operators to prepare for the all-IP future.
High Speed Packet Transport
With a combination of advanced features that can enable link speeds up to 2.8 Gbit/s from a single compact and modular unit, Eclipse Packet Node INU represents the very latest generation of microwave transmission.
The Eclipse Packet Node INU comes in two platform options, a 1RU INU or a 2RU INUe which supports the highest nodal density in the smallest form factor, enabling the compact aggregation nodes that support up to 5 Gbit/s of packet handling capacity.
Network operators look for advanced technologies to help drive more throughput than ever before, as well as preserve valuable frequency resources. In the Eclipse INU, Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), co-channel operation with XPIC, and optimized packet transmission combine to drive for maximum frequency efficiency and utilization.
Advanced Carrier Ethernet/IP Intelligence
Eclipse INU incorporates a carrier-grade Ethernet switch that provides traffic classification into 8 priority queues, QoS traffic priority assignment, VLAN support, and Ethernet Optimization for improved throughput. Synchronization options Synch-E (G.8262) and IEEE1588v2 support flexible network growth from hybrid TDM to all-IP networking.
Essential Network Convergence Features
Eclipse Packet Node INU enables network migration through comprehensive Hybrid TDM+IP architecture, with full native support for legacy TDM (E1/DS1, E3/DS3 and OC3/STM1) and new Ethernet/IP traffic, without encapsulation or emulation, for maximum efficiency and lowest latency.
