MALC Broadband Loop Carrier

The MALC is a fully-featured Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) optimized for delivering voice, data, and video services over a pure packet access network. MALC gives carriers the flexibility to cost-effectively deliver triple play services over existing facilities today and to migrate these services on a port-by-port, service-by-service basis to a pure packet network. This migration is accomplished without disrupting subscriber service or revenue streams, giving carriers the ultimate flexibility for optimizing their networks and serving their subscribers.

Deployed in the Central Office, Remote Terminal, outdoor cabinets or basements, the MALC is offered in a range of compact, hardened chassis supporting densities from 24 to 960 ports per shelf with integrated packet ring transport. With line cards, cabling, provisioning and management common to all chassis, the MALC minimizes training, stocking, and operating expenses.

The MALC's functionality is now available in a compact 1U Chassis: the MALC 100.

The MALC is a key element in Zhone's Single Line Multi-Service (SLMS) network architecture, a complete solution for access networks. SLMS integrates separate elements into a single platform: innovative CPE, service concentration, transport, and packet voice gateways, all under end-to-end network management.
