A New Formula for Success
Now a single integrated platform delivers the key
capabilities needed in today’s challenging
telecommunications environment. The AnyMedia
®
Line Access Gateway (LAG) combines exceptional
multi-service flexibility with high port densities – and
an IP/Ethernet option. As a result, a wide range of
circuit and packet traffic can co-exist on the same
integrated platform, which leverages infrastructure,
minimizes operating costs and simplifies evolution to
packet networks. Using “plug-and-play” application
packs, the AnyMedia
® LAG also makes it easier to
generate additional income, because service providers
can quickly launch new services, respond immediately
to changing customer demands and take advantage of
emerging markets.
These powerful capabilities make the AnyMedia ® LAG
ideal for launching IP services today – while
continuing to support POTS – then migrating to packet
networks with minimal capital investment. With a
choice of capacities, this high-density platform also
enables cost-effective switch consolidation and growth
applications. And it can take the network seamlessly
into the future.
Minimize Equipment Costs
The AnyMedia ® LAG saves money because its multi-
service architecture eliminates the need for overlay
networks and forklift upgrades. Instead, service
providers simply add application packs to the
AnyMedia
® LAG shelf whenever needed to
incorporate new technologies and support the latest
services – including IP/Ethernet. With this approach,
providers can build DSL and packet capabilities
incrementally while maintaining cost-effective POTS
support – and evolve at a pace that’s right for the
network. The design efficiencies of the AnyMedia
®
LAG allow providers to use fewer network
components and switch interfaces, reducing
expenditures even further.
Evolve to VoIP on your terms
The AnyMedia ® LAG supports both centralized and
distributed VoIP architectures. This allows you to
determine if it is best to convert traffic from TDM
interfaces to VoIP on a per shelf basis or on a per
card basis. This flexibility to support any network
topology allows AnyMedia
® LAG solutions to fit to
your evolution plans, simplifying integration and
saving money.
Economize on POTS and New IP Services
The AnyMedia ® LAG offers a choice of capacities
with industry-leading port densities. The AnyMedia ®
LAG 4300 can support up to 2,752 POTS lines on a
single shelf – or up to 5,504 lines per cabinet. With
more than twice the capacity of any other AnyMedia
®
Access System, this platform has been optimized to
help deliver traditional voice services more cost
effectively. When providers want to reduce the
number of switches in the network – or support more
subscribers in a single location – the AnyMedia
® LAG
4300 provides the streamlined power required.
The AnyMedia ® LAG 2300 offers a cost-effective
way to launch new IP applications, including VoIP
and IP video services. It supports up to 512 POTS lines
per shelf, or any combination of DSL, POTS, ISDN,
IP/Ethernet and special services. Easily deployed in a
wide variety of locations, this mid-sized platform can
help respond to changing market requirements with
outstanding efficiency.
The AnyMedia ® LAG 1900 offers the same VoIP and
IP video capabilities as the AnyMedia ® LAG 2300
while fitting into standard 19-inch data racks. It
supports up to 896 POTS lines per shelf.
The AnyMedia ® LAG supports POTS, ISDN, IP/Ethernet
and DSL all on an integrated platform.
