We are able to offer the following support for this product:
Main Characteristics
Applications
The E10 can be used for all switching applications; Local exchange; Transmit exchange; Signalling transfer point; Service switching point (intelligent network access). Mobile service switching point.
Performance
The performance of an exchange is closely linked to its environment. The performance of the E10 is therefore calculated against a benchmark environment defined by:
Maximum call handling capacity
The E10 maximum call handling capacity is 1200000 BHCA (busy hour call attempts), equivalent to 336 call attempts per second. In a maximum configuration, the switching matrix can connect 2048PCM links or 6000 circuits. So it can handle 25000 erlangs. Such handling capacity provides the capability to connect 200,000 fixed subscribers or 400,000 to 900,000 mobile subscribers.
Hardware characteristics
The Alcatel E10 consists of SMs (control stations) which communicate via a local network. The SMs and ancillary equipment are housed in subracks installed in racks.
Racks
Rack dimensions with their EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) cladding are: Height: 2200mm; Width: 900mm; Depth: 650mm Each rack has five or six sub-racks separated by air baffles. Cooling is by natural convection. Each rack has a duplicated power supply system. The converters have two power sources using independent routes.
Subracks
Sub-rack dimensions are; Height: 234mm; Width: 782mm. The sub-rack backplanes are multi-layer printed circuits.
Connection
All links between sub-racks and between racks are via shielded cables.
Boards
There are 32 types of boards with the following dimensions; Height: 234mm; Length: 350mm; Thickness: 1.6mm. The boards are multi-layer. For handling, the boards have a hard plastic strip that prevents direct electrostatic discharge. The strip has a latching and release device with two extraction levers. The boards are fitted with the CMOS technology surface mount components. On average, aboard consumes less than 7 watts.
Local area network
The local area network consists of multiplexes. Each multiplex has two token rings complying with the IEEE standard.
Software characteristics
The Alcatel 1000 E10 (OCB283) software is organized into software machines that are totally independent of SMs (control stations) that support them. Depending on the configuration and operating environment, an SM supports one or more software machines. The software is stored on a disk where it is organized into archives. It is loaded into the SMs via the local network the system is initialized.
Control Stations (SMs): The system includes various SMs such as main control stations (SMCs) for essential switching functions, trunk control stations (SMTs), auxiliary equipment control stations (SMAs), matrix control stations (SMXs), and a maintenance station (SMM) for overall system management.
Legacy Reliability: Despite its age, the Alcatel 1000 E10 continues to be a dependable choice for various networks including local and transit exchanges, signalling transfer points, and even mobile and data networks due to its proven reliability, scalability, and adaptability.
Hardware and Software Flexibility: The system’s hardware is housed in EMC-compliant racks with multi-layer printed circuit backplanes, ensuring durable and reliable performance. The software architecture of the Alcatel 1000 E10 is designed for independence and flexibility, supporting diverse operational environments and applications.
