  • Data networks
  • Video networks

 

The system is known for its reliability, scalability, and flexibility. It is a good choice for networks that need a high-performance switching solution that can be easily adapted to changing requirements.

Key Features of the Alcatel 1000 E10

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.

Technical Information

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:

  • a MIX of calls (percentage of completed calls, unanswered calls, busy conditions, false seizures, etc).
  • operating conditions (percentage usage of different signalling types, itemized billing, meter pulse transmission etc).

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.
