Network Termination Units (NTUs)
Today’s carriers need to maintain customer loyalty through improved service, and
competitive service pricing. The equipment deployed to bring service to customer
premises must also extend those customer service benefits, while keeping operational
costs to a minimum.

Newbridge offers a family of NTU network termination products which are an integral
part of the managed bandwidth solution. The NTUs are remotely software configurable,
field proven, and offer advanced XDSL capabilities to extract the maximum performance
from installed copper facilities.

The NTU family can also be put to use in building riser, in-building, or campus
environments where data needs to be distributed away from the central service
delivery point.

NETWORK TERMINATION UNITS (NTUS)

High Performance NTUs
for Public Networks
The MainStreet family of NTUs enables
service providers to offer customers more
than 128 kbit/s services up to 7 km over
conventional, telephony grade twisted pair
wiring. These high performance NTUs
strengthen the service provider’s ability to
deliver reliable, high speed data products
and services directly to its customers as
part of a fully managed service.
The 2902 MainStreet Multiservice NTU
combines HDSL technology and modular
interfaces to deliver high bandwidth access of
2 Mbit/s over existing copper pairs for X.21,
X.35 and V.24 applications, among others.
The Right Choice
Automatic self-diagnostics, extensive func-
tional displays, automatic reconfiguration
of replaced units, performance statistics, and
many more features make the MainStreet
series of NTUs the ideal choice for delivering
high speed data services to carrier customers.
Software Configuration
• All operating parameters are software
configurable locally or remotely using
a dedicated control channel.
• No jumpers or DIP switches to configure
on any NTUs.
• Connector ports can be configured as
DTE or DCE and can accommodate
synchronous or asynchronous data
at a full range of speeds (2800 family
is synchronous DCE only).
• All subrate speeds are supported with effi-
cient HCM (high capacity multiplexing)
rate adaption in steps of 800 bit/s.
Central Management and Maintenance
The MainStreet NTUs can be remotely
controlled from a 4600 MainStreet or
MainStreetXpress 46000 series network
manager offering the following functions:
• configuration (e.g., interface speed, parity)
• setting and monitoring the state of the
control leads
• selection of rate adaption parameters
and control lead functions

The 2801 MainStreet* variable rate HDSL

NTUs provide a simple and economical
vehicle to deliver high speed X.21 or V.35
data services at speeds of up 1 Mbit/s over
a single pair of existing copper wire.
Router MainStreetXpress 46020
The 2715 MainStreet is an enhanced 2700
V.35/X.21
series DTU that provides superior operation LAN
and maintenance capabilities (link quality, E1/HDSL or
V.35/X.21
alarms, power fail detect, statistics and E1/HDB3
integral BERT). Used in pairs, the 2715 2902 MainStreet
MainStreet can provide data transmission E1 3600/3645
redundancy as well. These features make it MainStreet
ideally suited for premium data services.
PBX Office Central Office
The 2700 MainStreet series DTUs are
extended range devices that operate at a Multiservice connectivity using the 2902 MainStreet NTU
distance of up to 7 km and connect to a
2B1Q or 27LC2 card in a 3600 MainStreet
node. The 2700 MainStreet series is used to
deliver data services to customer premises, Central Site Branch Site
often over external twisted pair cable plant.

revenue generation or extend connectivity
in a private network.
2902 MainStreet NTU
The 2902 MainStreet Multiservice NTU
delivers managed high bandwidth access
over existing copper pairs using HDSL.
Within a single unit, service providers can
deliver integrated data and digital voice
access with a high degree of flexibility
and reliability while making use of
their existing network infrastructure.
Frame Relay Connectivity
2614 MainStreet DTU
The 2614 MainStreet Frame Relay DTU
is a high-performance frame relay access
device capable of adapting a wide variety
of data traffic types to Newbridge-based
frame relay networks.
Video Connectivity
2611 MainStreet VTU System
The 2611 MainStreet Video Termination
Unit and Video Management System pro-
vides a scalable, integrated remote video
monitoring system that enables the carrier
to deliver a unique service offering over
any existing network infrastructure.
2720 and 2721 MainStreet
Internet/Router Termination Units
The 2720 MainStreet and 2721 MainStreet
units were designed to address the growing
demand for affordable alternatives in the
expanding corporate intranetwork and
Internet access markets. Both units provide
integrated network management and
scalability.
Private Network Application
Supporting all of the same features
previously described for public networks,
the MainStreet NTUs are also effectively
deployed in private or enterprise networks.
As a cost-effective method for extending data
distribution and network access in a campus
environment, MainStreet NTUs are able to
exploit the existing twisted pair wiring infra-
structure and thereby avoid rewiring with
bulky and expensive data cabling or using
expensive fiber.
