DNX Multiservice Cross-Connect

The DNX Cross-Connect combines the power of traditional cross-connects with intelligent bandwidth management – in one compact, scalable system. Proven to reduce costs and simplify multiservice provisioning in digital transmission networks, the DNX is widely deployed in mission-critical infrastructure environments by utilities, government agencies, large financial institutions, and telecom service providers.

The DNX digital cross-connect reliably grooms, aggregates, and transports diverse traffic types, populated with any mix of DNX Module Sets supporting narrowband, wideband, and broadband services and integrated circuit/packet processing. Integrated test access and embedded diagnostics, combined with the protection options and troubleshooting capabilities of ENvision Plus NMS, ensure high network availability.

Benefits

Reduce total cost of ownership with an economical DCS/DACS platform that minimizes up-front and recurring costs and provides significant space and power savings
Enhance the efficiency and useful life of core resources – conserve ports on costly voice and data service delivery platforms by concentrating traffic associated with these platforms
Facilitate network transition from copper to optical and from circuit-switched to packet-based technologies – and signaling network migration from SS7 to Sigtran
Replace legacy or discontinued DCS/DACS to eliminate operational risks and ensure the highest level of reliability, performance, and system support

Features

Highly scalable, right-sized platforms include the DNX-11, the fundamental building block of the series, the DNX-88 mid-range system, and the S-DNX High Capacity Cross-Connect
Carrier-class redundancy at all levels of operation, including redundant circuit protection and additional alarm features when deployed with ENvision Plus and the PSX-5300 Protection Switch
ENvision Plus NMS for DNX networks adds value through enhanced end-to-end provisioning, manageability, and protection, helping to ensure compliance with strict service level agreements
Single-chassis circuit/packet support via the optional Circuit/Packet eXchange (CPX) module set enables a seamless transition from TDM to IP technology
