MileGate - One access platform for all your needs
MileGate combines carrier-grade broadband access, telephony and data interfaces in one single, compact IP/Ethernet-based Multi-Service Access Platform.
As a result, network operators can continue to support traditional telephony and broadband services, migrate to the NGN (Next Generation Network) and provide Triple Play and broadband business services too. MileGate comes with a hybrid backplane, that enables the simultaneous deployment of TDM- and IP/Ethernet-based services, and, hence, ensures a smooth migration of voice and data services.
With the two available subracks MileGate 2500 and MileGate 2300 and the Micro-DSLAM MileGate 2011, network topology can be designed flexibly. Operational in a wide range of temperatures and with a robust design, MileGate subracks can be used in street cabinets - however extreme conditions are.
MileGate comes with wide range of electrical (xDSL, telephony) and optical subscriber interfaces. With this flexibility MileGate supports installations in central offices with thousands of subscribers as well as in all FTTx (Fibre-to-the-x) network architectures.
MileGate provides all services with high port density in FTTC applications. A cable TV signal can be transmitted per overlay in parallel to the IP data in FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home) and FTTB (Fibre-to-the-Building) applications. With its high port density and the low power consumption MileGate is ideal for the cost-efficient build-up of active Ethernet optical fibre networks.
MileGate platform highlights

The system family
MileGate 2500 is designed to provide traditional voice and NGN services in centrol offices, the collocation space and outdoor cabinets with high numbers of subscribers
MileGate 2300 provides the same multi-service flexibility as MileGate 2500 in a more compact 4 HU subrack.
MileGate 2011 is a Micro-DSLAM for FTTB network architectures. It is designed for the change-over from the optical fibre to VDSL2 transmission in multi-tenant buildings and it provides bandwidths of more than 100 Mbps.
LineRunner SHDSL DTM is a desktop for the connection to the SHDSL TDM-based line card STIM1 with flexible subscriber interfaces.
LineRunner SHDSL EFM DTR is a CPE for the connection to the SHDSL EFM-based line card SUSE1 with 8 Ethernet interfaces and an integrated router.
MileGate is ideal for the following applications and areas
- Migration of voice services
- Migration of TDM services
- VoIP gateway
- Next-Generation Access Platforms in an FTTx structure
- High-density Optical MSAN for FTTH connections
- Micro-DSLAM for remote FTTB connections
- Broadband Loop Carrier function
- Triple Play services, such as IPTV, broadband Internet access, VoIP
- Ethernet in the First Mile
