The Occam BLC 6000 integrates the functions of an NGDLC, FTTx System, IP DSLAM, Optical Multiplexor, VoIP Line Access Gateway, Line Test System and Ethernet Switch into an environmentally hardened loop carrier system. The system includes plug-in blades, chassis, cabinets and management software. It supports standard lifeline POTS phones and DSL modems and integrates into CLASS 5 switching via TR08 or GR 303. And it supports IP IADs, Terminal Adapters or IP phones into IP Softswitches. One or the other, or mix and match simultaneously.
The BLC 6000 incorporates a unique distributed architecture that enables system blades to operate in a 12 slot high capacity chassis or in a standalone 1RU chassis.
6150-01 Blade - Lifeline POTS with Gigabit Ethernet 
The 6150-01 POTS blade provides 48 ports to deliver standard telephony Lifeline POTS services. The blade acts as a line access gateway, converting analog voice traffic to VoIP with MGCP signaling for transport through a BLC 6000 system.
The Gigabit Ethernet ports of the 6150-01 provide integral optical fiber transport for the system. At the central office, voice traffic can be handed directly to a Next Gen softswitch platform, or a BLC 6000 COT can provide standard TR-08/GR-303 connections to a Class 5 switch.
In addition to being the voice module for a full BLC 6000 loop carrier system, the 6150-01 can be deployed as a pure line access gateway. Multiple 6150-01 Blades can be interconnected for very high density deployment, and total aggregated traffic handed directly and efficiently to a Next Gen softswitch voice network.
The Gigabit Ethernet core of the 6150-01 is a high performance, wire speed Ethernet switch with 10 ports that may be used for optical (4) or copper (6) connections. The Ethernet ports may be used in any configuration or combination for network transport, for blade interconnection or even Ethernet service delivery. There are also standard T1 ports that can be used for copper base transport, customer services or connection to T1 devices.
The 6150-01 Blade can be deployed standalone as the BLC 6150-01 Assembly, or it can be used in high density deployments with other BLC 6000 Blades in the BLC 6012 high capacity chassis. The single blade BLC 6150-01 Assembly can be stacked with additional units to add capacity and hardware redundancy, and can be stacked with other BLC 6000 Assemblies for full system capabilities. 6151-01 Blade - Lifeline POTS 
The 6151-01 POTS blade provides 48 ports to deliver standard telephony
Lifeline POTS services. The blade acts as a line access gateway, converting
the analog voice traffic to VoIP with MGCP signaling for transport through a
BLC 6000 system.
The 6151-01 interconnects with other blades in a BLC 6000 node that provide
Gigabit Ethernet transport through the network. At the central office, voice
traffic can be handed directly to a Next Gen softswitch platform, or a BLC
6000 COT can provide standard TR-08/GR-303 connections to a Class 5 switch.

deployment, and total aggregated traffic can be handed directly and
efficiently to a Next Gen softswitch voice network.

6152-01 Blade - Lifeline POTS with Gigabit Ethernet 
The 6152-01 POTS blade provides 48 ports to deliver standard telephony Lifeline POTS services. The blade acts as a line access gateway, converting analog voice traffic to VoIP with MGCP signaling for transport through a BLC 6000 system.
The Gigabit Ethernet ports of the 6152-01 provide integral optical fiber transport for the system. At the central office, voice traffic can be handed directly to a Next Gen softswitch platform, or a BLC 6000 COT can provide standard TR-08/GR-303 connections to a Class 5 switch.

6246 Blade - ADSL2Plus and POTS with Gigabit Ethernet and Powered T1
The BLC 6246 ADSL2Plus Blade provides 24 ports of ADSL2Plus with Lifeline POTS on the same port to deliver voice, data and video services in low-density applications. The BLC 6246 includes four T1 interfaces capable of powering T1 repeaters, receiving T1 span power or offering DSX level signals. This provides the flexibility to deploy the Blade in copper fed remote cabinets and upgrade those cabinets to Gigabit Ethernet fiber later. The combination of subscriber DSL and POTS ports with Gigabit Ethernet transport capabilities position the BLC 6246 Blade as the Triple Play workhorse for delivering Triple Play services.
6252-02 Blade - ADSL2Plus and POTS with Gigabit Ethernet 
The 6252-02 ADSL2Plus Blade provides 48 ports of ADSL2Plus with Lifeline POTS on the same physical interface to deliver voice, data and video services. Subscriber DSL and POTS ports combine with Gigabit Ethernet transport capabilities to position the 6252-02 Blade as the Triple Play workhorse for the future of the access network.
The subscriber interfaces support the evolutionary range of off the shelf ADSL modems: ADSL G.lite, ADSL DMT, ADSL DMT with S=1/2, ADSL2, and ADSL2Plus. The 6252-02 provides a gateway function between the standard ADSL ATM and native IP over Ethernet allowing seamless access network connection to IP routers, Ethernet switches and IP digital video headends in the switch centers and the core network.
The ADSL/POTS ports include an internal soft splitter that requires no additional external hardware. The POTS traffic from all ports is converted to VoIP with MGCP signaling. The voice, data and video traffic are differentiated and transported over the feeder network following the provisioned QoS parameters. At the central office, the voice traffic can be handed directly to a Next Gen softswitch platform, or a BLC 6000 COT can provide standard TR-08/GR-303 connections to a Class 5 switch.
The Gigabit Ethernet capacity of the 6252-02 provides the very high bandwidth required for video services. Network bandwidth must support hundreds of broadcast channels while sustaining the expected growth of Video On Demand. Even a moderate VOD service subscription rate can consume multiple OC-3s during peak viewing time. Each 6252-02 Blade includes 4 Gigabit Ethernet optical fiber ports. A single port can be used to support initial requirements, and additional GigE ports can be brought on-line as the VOD service grows.
The core IP technology of the BLC 6000 includes Multicast IGMP in the 6252-02 and at every node in the network. This feature allows a subscriber request for a broadcast channel to join the stream at the closest point in the network. This capability preserves feeder bandwidth for VOD and data services, and it eliminates the need for deployment of separate IP processing or routers.
Another advantage of the 6252-02 is streamlined network operation with digital video headends. The video streams are MPEG encoded signals in IP packets. The BLC 6000 system creates a native IP delivery network that rips out the complexity of ATM transport. BLC 6000 eliminates the overhead of transporting large video IP packets chopped into ATM cells. The BLC 6000 IP service delivery model includes edge aggregation, which eliminates the virtual circuit provisioning of the ATM model.
The Gigabit Ethernet core of the 6252-02 is a high performance, wire speed Ethernet switch with 10 ports that can be used for optical (4) or copper (6) connections. The Ethernet ports may be used in any configuration or combination for network transport, for blade interconnection or even for Ethernet service delivery.
The 6252-02 Blade can be deployed standalone as the BLC 6252-02 Assembly, or it can be used in high density deployments with other BLC 6000 Blades in the BLC 6012 high capacity chassis. The single blade BLC 6252 Assembly can be stacked with additional units to add capacity and hardware redundancy, and can be stacked with other BLC 6000 Assemblies for full system capabilities. |
