ADC LoopStar 745 - Manual

LoopStar ® 745 and LoopStar ® 745P
Cost-Effective Ethernet Over DS3 Solutions With Carrier-Class Management Capabilities
ADC’s LoopStar 745 and LoopStar 745P provide the ideal solutions for delivering cost-effective, managed
Ethernet over DS3 applications. These plug-and-play solutions deliver carrier-class performance allowing
service providers to deliver low-cost, first-entry solutions for single customer scenarios.
The LoopStar 745 and LoopStar 745P can attach to an existing SONET Add Drop Multiplexer (ADM), DS3 fixed
wireless link, or a leased DS3 facility. Two subscriber Ethernet ports enable prioritized traffic to be fed to the
network. In a hub-and-spoke configuration, several LoopStar 745 and LoopStar 745P products can feed the
LoopStar 750 or other aggregation switches and can be managed in-band through the DS3 connection.
The LoopStar 745 and LoopStar 745P can also be paired back-to-back to deliver cost-effective, point-to-point
Ethernet and TDM interconnections.
With the LoopStar 745 and LoopStar 745P, a carrier is able to enter a single customer location and capture
Ethernet service revenue with low, first-cost solutions that can be deployed today and pay for themselves
within a few months, without having to invest in a costly build-out of the metro network.
