Brilltech offered Backbone switches provide fault-tolerant capabilities--after all, this is the heart of the network. A modular chassis provides flexibility with hot-swap and redundant components. It has a very large address tables that can support numerous end-systems and segments. These switches have ample available bandwidth and the ability to pump it up as needed to accommodate future increases in the number of users and/or applications.

Our Backbone and Switches unifies multiple sets of functionality into a single, multi-functional platform including Edge Routing, Ethernet Aggregation, Subscriber Management, and Advanced Services. These services are offered with carrier-class reliability, scalability, performance and have minimal power requirements.

Features: 

• Up to 139 Gbps switching/routing performance 

• Up to 768 10/100 ports per switch 

• Up to 128 Gigabit Ethernet ports 

• Up to 384 100BASE-FX ports 

• Up to eight 10-Gigabit ports per switch 

• Data, voice and video application capabilities 

• ATM uplinks at OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4c speeds for multiservice networking 

• Quality of Service for guaranteed delivery of time-critical, delay-sensitive traffic 

• Brilltech Switch Architecture For Extreme Resiliency (SAFER) Technology™ for no single point of failure 

Key Benefits and characteristics include:

• Support for a comprehensive range of interior and exterior gateway routing protocols and high-performance multicast routing with predictable and sustained performance 
  

• Suitable for deployment in peering, edge aggregation and services routing applications where high-performance IP routing is an absolute requirement
  

• Delivers Advanced Traffic Management with Hierarchical Quality of Service (H-QoS), comprehensive traffic shaping and subscriber management
  

• Can be directly connected to an access layer of the network, such as a DSLAM, eliminating unnecessary network layers and reducing complexity
  

• Support for up to 256,000 subscribers per physical device and includes all methods of subscriber encapsulation for DHCP or IP-access clients, including PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
  

• Suitable for deployment in smaller network environments with fewer subscribers or requiring fewer ports, it integrates high-performance edge routing and advanced subscriber management capabilities into a compact and flexible multi-service edge router.
  

• This enables service providers to offer lucrative applications in Full Service Broadband. By converging wired and wireless networks, we are creating a world where any network can deliver any service to any Internet-enabled device, accelerating the delivery of new services and increasing scalability to meet customer needs.
