The hiX 5622 is part of the hiX 5600 series which consists of high performance, carrier class IP multi-service access and aggregation nodes designed to ETSI standards.
The hiX 5622 is 124mm tall and provides two service slots which can deliver up to 144 ports. The system is ideal for small deployments at the central office or in cabinets deep in the network.
Subscriber interfaces include POTS, ISDN, VDSL, SHDSL, ADSL, Fast Ethernet and GbE. Replaceable common equipment cards provide switching, management and network uplinks (GbE and 10GE available).
The hiX 5622 is built upon a pure IP core and supports both legacy and emerging service interfaces over copper and fiber. This mix of services on one platform enables service providers to future proof their networks. New services can be deployed with the simple change of a line card, equipment obsolescence can be avoided and network investments protected.
The system provides voice and data services as well as a simple migration path from legacy interfaces to IP. Voice services can be transitioned from POTS or ISDN to VoIP for example. Broadband data access can be provided using SHDSL, ADSL or VDSL (with or without splitters) as well as high density fiber using Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet. This unique mix of services from one single IP based platform enables service providers to quickly adapt to new business opportunities and remain highly competitive.
