The PurePacketCompact

The PurePacketCompact™ is a telecommunications breakthrough solution designed to act as a multi-function platform, packaged in a small, high-density, rack or wall mountable footprint, which easily fits into wiring closets or basements of office buildings, hotels and campus environments. Supporting Class 5, SoftSwitch voice services, internet access, tiered data and VPN technologies. The PurePacket combined hardware and software solution offers Service Providers the ability to effortlessly provide converged voice and data services on the same platform, and the means to generate new revenue streams. By placing network intelligence in buildings, the PurePacketCompact addresses the specific MTU requirements of efficiency in serving a building as well as flexible services.

The PurePacket Solution

The PurePacket™ Solution includes the PurePacketNode™and PurePacketCompact™ aggregators, PurePacketOUTburst® Integrated Access Devices (IADs) and the PurePacketOMS™ (Operations Management System), which provides Carrier Class support for legacy and emerging services – architected to concurrently support both SoftSwitch and Class 5 environments.

The Integral Access PurePacketCompact is a Label Switching based access network solution, which offers the flexibility, scalability carrier class, Quality of Service (QoS) you expect, and will require, in order to capitalize
on the tremendous financial opportunities the (MTU) market has to offer.

How the PPC works

A single PurePacketCompact system allows network operators to service buildings and campuses, housing as many as 72 business tenants. It supports up to 96 POTS lines and 72 xDSLlines in a single chassis. Service Providers can link the PPC back to their POPor Central office via multiple high-speed Wide Area Network (WAN) interfaces, including NxDS1/E1, OC3, Fast Ethernet, and DS3.

Like the PurePacketNode, PPC supports both SoftSwitch VoIP infrastructures and legacy Class 5 switches.

Benefit From PurePacketCompact Architecture

All services are packetized at the ingress of the PurePacket solution and mapped to Label Switched Paths (LSPs), which act as intelligent virtual connections. Each LSP is individually managed and engineered to meet Quality of Service / Class of Service (QoS/CoS) requirements for each service type. Policy-enforcing SLAs ensure your customer requirements are met, and enable you to create a virtually unlimited portfolio of differentiated IP-based services. By extending these advanced services to the customer premises, the PurePacket System maximizes the utilization of scarce access network resources and delivers QoS without the complexities and overhead associated with overlay networks.

Offer More Services; Leverage Your Investment

The Integral Access PurePacketCompact solution enables Service Providers to offer:

• converged voice and data services via a single access line
  to provide tiered data services, Internet access, voice, LAN
  extension and VPN (Virtual Private Network) services.
• both SoftSwitch and Class 5 interworking simultaneously,
  allowing you to leverage your existing investment in
  Class 5 switches while expanding services on a
  SoftSwitch based system.
• broad range of interworking functions which
  leverage existing technologies including SONET and
  GR-303/V5.2 based voice switches, while seamlessly
  integrating with IP/MPLS optical transport.

Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation

Dynamic bandwidth allocation, or the maximization and utilization of bandwidth, combined with QoS, enable voice and data to be transmitted simultaneously across a single access line, which can translate into significant cost savings for Service Providers. This maximization of bandwidth also allows you to deliver new revenue generating services, offers a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and is directly tied into protecting either your legacy or next generation investment.

Gain Advantages from Utilizing Advanced Traffic Management and Class of Service (CoS) Capabilities

To ensure that your MTU customer’s service levels are met, PurePacketCompact employs label switching and intelligent traffic management (queuing, buffering, marking, etc.). Traffic, depending on mission criticality and time sensitivity, is classified at the customer premises, and then mapped to a class-specific, application-specific
LSP, which correlates to a Quality of Service (QoS).

The PurePacket- Compact solution enables you to create and deliver multiple service classes (eg. service level
agreements, tiered and differentiated services), accommodating the entire service spectrum, from real-time to best effort, each with an unlimited range of traffic contract options, with the added benefit of producing new forms of revenue streams. Coupled with dynamic bandwidth allocation, PurePacketCompact fully optimizes the in-building
wiring or local loop, enabling a new generation of "mass-customized" converged, IP-based services you can now offer to your customers.

Compatibility and Integration

PurePacketCompact is equipped with all of the required communication protocols and interfaces to ease the connection process of this solution into either your existing or emerging infrastructures.

Replace or Augment Your Class 5 Voice Switch for a Fraction of the Cost

SoftSwitch architectures were developed to enable Service Providers to incrementally build-out voice-switching solutions while leveraging the scalability, efficiencies, and openness inherent to IP client-server architectures. The benefits of this system architecture result in providing you with significant time-to-market advantages, and fulfill the promise of converged communications.

In this architecture, PurePacketCompact functions as a Media Access Gateway, and operates under SoftSwitch control to establish and terminate packet-based voice and multimedia communication services. In combination
with a SoftSwitch, PurePacketCompact can replace or augment a Class 5 voice switch for a fraction of the cost. Integral Access’ commitment to open standards such as MGCP (Media Gateway Control Protocol), H.248, and SIP ensures you will be given a clear migration path to next generation telecommunication environments.

How MPLS Delivers the Speed of a Layer 2 Network, and the Intelligence and Scalability of a Layer 3 Network

MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) delivers deterministic behavior to connectionless, IP-based networks enabling QoS/CoS, without the cost of requiring an overlay network. As a link independent protocol, MPLS also provides a common control plane and the smooth hand-off to ATM backbones where necessary. Designed for the scalability of the routed IP Internet core, MPLS delivers the speed and efficiencies of a layer 2 network, while leveraging the intelligence and scalability of layer 3 networks. By implementing MPLS and advanced traffic management, PurePacketCompact extends the value of IP from the customer premises to the core, and drives the power of MPLS from the core of your network to your MTU customer premises.

The PurePacketCompact (PPC) provides flexible in-building / MTU broadband aggregation of voice and data services. Dynamic bandwidth allocation and efficient packet voice transport allow bandwidth savings resulting in increased revenue-generating services to be provisioned. Aggregating a number of PPCs with a PurePacketNode at a PoP provides great efficiencies in the trunk between the MTU and PoP. The PPN at the PoP can aggregate PPCs / MTUs and provide direct broadband services to PurePacketOUTburst integrated access devices via DS1/E1 or xDSL.
