Switching Board

Processing Board

Interface Board

Switching board deals with the switching in

control plane (BASE) and media plane (FABRIC).
Besides the intra-shelf switching, it also provides
switching channels for all inter-shelf
communication.

Processing board handles the protocol processing

in control plane and user plane, and is
responsible for the overall processing and control
in terms of O&M.

Interface board offers access of STM-1, E1/T1,

CSTM-1 via interfaces including A, Abis, Gb, Iu,
Iub and Iur to meet various requirements of
networking.

Huge capacity, high integrity,
easy to expand, effectively
saving footprint; adapt to
various environment and fast
growth of traffic load,
protecting operators
investment.

ZXUR 9000

The entire system adopts

redundancy design by platform
and high reliability. No single
point fault, online software
download supported, loading
and being activated in remote.

Abundant interfaces, flexible

networking, TDM/ATM/IP
protocol stack and diverse
physical interfaces like E1, STM1, channelized STM-1, FE and GE
supported, flexibly responding
to transmission changes.

Complete transmission and

processing resources sharing
