Reliable and cost efficient

delivery of Ethernet based
business services is a growing
need for public and private
network operators. The UMUX
modules NEBRA/NEBRO open
the world of Fast Ethernet and
Gigabit Ethernet transport on
SDH access networks (EoS,
Ethernet over SDH).

Applications
With the NEBRA/NEBRO units
the UMUX multi-service access
platform offers cost effective Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity combined with the
proven reliability and manageability
of SDH networks.
This makes it ideal for bandwidth
intensive point-to-point
applications like corporate internet
access, LAN interconnections and
VPNs (Virtual Private Networks).
Furthermore NEBRA/NEBRO

support point-to-multipoint
services with a typical application
being the connection of branch
offices to the head office.
Thanks to the carrier grade
reliability of UMUX and the
protected Ethernet over SDH
transport, NEBRO/NEBRA
are used as well in dedicated
networks of railways, power
utilities and other private
network operators.

Ethernet service delivery with NEBRO Ethernet through regional SDH network

Ethernet over SDH

Using EoS (Ethernet over SDH),
the Ethernet frames are
encapsulated in SDH by using
GFP (Generic Frame Protocol)
and transported through the
SDH network in a VC-12 or VC-3
group (virtual concatenation).
The Ethernet over SDH
transport on the network side
is in accordance with the relevant
ITU-T standards and permits
transparent operation with
legacy SDH equipment as well
as interworking with any other
EoS standard compliant
equipment.

LCAS
NEBRA/NEBRO provide LCAS
(Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme)
capabilities. With LCAS network
operators are in the position to
offer Ethernet services with
dynamically increased or
decreased capacities.

Seamless Migration
The existing base of UMUX 1500
and UMUX 1200 chassis is
compatible with the NEBRA/
NEBRO plug-in modules.
Hence UMUX network elements
can be smoothly upgraded to
support new broadband
Ethernet services.

The ability to support EoS and

Ethernet backhaul transmission
NEBRA/NEBRO enable network
operators to migrate further to
overlay Ethernet networks while
re-using the installed base.

One Management System

The management of the various
types of services and transport
functions is all centralized under
the umbrella of the UCST/UNEM
system. This enables the operator
to act in a familiar environment
and accelerates the provisioning
process.
