Falcon-STA

TDM Pseudowire aggregator with support for Carrier Ethernet, for smooth migration from legacy to packet

The Falcon-STA extensively supports aggregation of legacy services, carried over packet networks and offers a complete set of synchronization options.
This device is equipped with 4 x GE Copper, 4 x GE SFP and 4 x SFP ports for SDH/SONET (STMx/OCx). All ports can be used flexibly and operate at full wire speed.
A unique SysLink interface provides the means for full distributed redundancy on a system level.
