PARADYNE 8820-A2-500

The 8820 Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) is a standards-based, scalable, high-capacity BLC that utilizes the latest switching fabric enabling service providers to offer voice, video, and data services from a single platform. The 8820's flexibility lets you meet market demand for multiple services, providing significant revenue generation.

As network models evolve from traditional TDM voice and high-speed Internet access to IP enabled triple play systems, the 8820 enables this capability with unsurpassed flexibility. Support for POTS, ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+, T1, E1, ReachDSL, SHDSL, TDM SHDSL and TDM SDSL from one platform allows services providers to add services without adding additional equipment or boxes. With the 8820s multiservice capability, service providers can economically deliver high-speed broadband services to all subscribers, no matter what their needs are.

The 8820 BLC is a carrier class access platform supporting full QoS (Quality of Service) in ATM or IP environments. For IP based networks, the 8820 supports 802.1p and DiffServ to ensure prioritization for voice and video, as well as proper handling of best effort traffic. In an ATM network, the 8820 supports four service categories; CBR, VBR-rt, VBR-nrt, and UBR. Having this granularity for ATM or IP network models means service providers can support all applications from POTS, to video, to best effort data applications, while guaranteeing QoS.
