Flexibility & scalability of AM3110 & AM3160 enable advanced service delivery
Berlin – NEC Corporation today launched two new additions to its AM3100 Series MSAN (Multi -Service Access Node) product range – the AM3110 and AM3160 – the industry’s most scalable and flexible broadband platforms enabling advanced service delivery. The AM3100 series represents a generational shift in access technology with a total access platform family that meets all copper, fibre and wireless applications needs.
The AM3110 and AM3160 allow deep fibre deployment with lower incremental cost. One common platform for next generation services delivers lower OPEX through common spares, inventory and maintenance practices. Small form factor and card flexibility mean better matches for CAPEX to service growth.
According to Richard Hanscott, Vice President, Network Solutions of NEC Europe, the design and implementation of Next Generation Network (NGN) technology is one of the most pressing issues facing telecommunications businesses today.
"As we enter the third wave of broadband development, flexibility is the key. Continued cost pressure on operators and higher subscriber bandwidths drive deeper fibre penetration. In order to survive, operators will need to reinvent themselves and their revenue structures in order to address industry challenges and meet the increasing demands of their customers," said Hanscott.
The industry leading capacity of the AM3100 Series meets the diverse deployment scenarios for next-generation deep-fibre access networks and gives telcos the support they require for the most feature rich multimedia services. AM3110 is designed for high density Central Office and large street cabinet deployments and delivers 280Gbps backplane capacity, 10Gbps capacity per slot and sophisticated service flexibility supporting multiple services. The AM3160 is for space-limited street cabinets and remote building equipment rooms and is unique in terms of its size, shape and dimensions, enabling new deployment scenarios and niche services catering for tens to hundreds of subscribers.
"The scalability of the AM3100 series means greater throughput capacities for High Definition IPTV support and lower total cost of ownership – with extended platform life as densities and capacities evolve. This allows incremental migration to NextGen access services such as 10G-based PON services", said Hanscott.
"The AM3100 series is the next generation of access technology," added Hanscott. "NEC has built a total access platform family that meets all copper, fibre and wireless applications requirements."
"The need to introduce intelligent and bandwidth-hungry services quickly and without risk demands a new level of scalability and flexibility in broadband networks," said Hanscott. "It also requires that your chosen solution partner for broadband is equally flexible in adapting to your particular needs."
"NEC’s managed systems philosophy looks after all third party products to give seamless integration for customers and to allow them to develop services and products that will be demanded in the new telco 2.0 world - from the highest demands of quadruple play down to simple telephony" said Hanscott.

About the AM3110
The AM3110 provides an ultra-high density, highly flexible, extreme throughput device for aggregation of remote devices.
Features:
- Scalable & cost efficient MSAN: POTS,VDSL2, GPON,PDH, FE, and GE service interfaces
- Backplane capacity delivering 10Gbps bi-directionally to each slot
- Incorporates NEC’s latest GPON optics and chipset technology
- Industry standard PICMG ATCA architecture ensures faster more cost effective development which directly benefits operators and their customers
About the AM3160
The coming age of deep fiber penetration means mini-MSANs and ONUs will need to service smaller number of customers in a far more hostile environment than the Central Office counterparts. The ultra compact AM3160 is purpose designed for deep fiber penetration. More slots of smaller granularity enhances the flexibility of the service offering and maximizes utilisation of space.
Features:
- Ultra compact purpose built for remote deployment in a hostile environment
- VDSL2, POTS, SHDSL, PDH, FE and GE service interfaces
- GE and GPON uplink interfaces
- MicroTCA based architecture ensures faster more cost-effective development which directly benefits operators and their customers
