MileGate - Ethernet and TDM Access and Transport for Dedicated Networks
MileGate is a flexible access and transmission platform that can provide Ethernet and native TDM technology from a single subrack. It provides connections to users and access points via copper wires and optical fibre. MileGate boasts a hybrid TDM and Ethernet backplane with a connection of up to 10 GBE per slot; this ensures high performance for Ethernet services. Traditional services like analogue telephony, synchronous and asynchronous low bandwidth TDM connections; and interfaces, such as X/V, E&M, or E1, can also be provided thanks to its TDM capabilities. Carrier class protection and redundancy functions for TDM and Ethernet connections ensure highest availability.
The following transport possibilities are available in MileGate: n x 2 Mbps for PDH networks, STM-1/-4 for SDH networks including EoS, and n x 1 GbE or 10 GbE for Ethernet networks. Single network nodes can also be connected via n x SHDSL trunks.
CEoP (Circulation Emulation over Packet) is available to provide seamless migration from TDM to Ethernet, providing the ability to transport TDM services on an Ethernet/IP network.
With its variety of services and interfaces, compact subracks and extended range of temperatures in which it can operate, MileGate is ideal for indoors or outdoors use. All services provided by MileGate are configured and monitored by a central network management system.

The system family
The Subrack MileGate 2510 comes with 21 slots for line cards. It is ideal for larger access points, where a multitude of interfaces have to be provided.
MileGate 2310 provides the same multi-service flexibility as MileGate 2510 in a more compact 4 HU subrack.
CPEs
LineRunner SHDSL DTM is a desktop for the connection to the SHDSL TDM-based line card STIM1 with flexible subscriber interfaces.
MileGate is ideal for the following applications and areas
- Migration of TDM services
- Digitaler cross-connect
- DSL transmission
- Ethernet over SDH (EoS)
- Ethernet over PDH
- Telecontrol/SCADA systems
- TETRA/TETRAPOL
