Leased Line Data Circuits

Leased Lines
Dedicated pair of copper wires for 24 hour data service provision to customers. It is a physical path owned by the user or rented out by the provider.

Types
Conventional leased line

Managed leased line network (MLLN)

Conventional Leased Line

This technology marked the beginning of the use of leased line technology for data transmission.

Conventional leased lines are very rarely used now.

Managed Leased Line Network

BSNL uses Tellabs 8100 system in providing MLLN. This system is described as follows. The MLLN is a Managed Leased Line Network system, which can provide leased line connectivity. MLLN is capable of supporting two type of leased line. 1. Point to Point Circuit 2. Point to Multi Point Circuit Bandwidth of a Managed Leased Line can be 64Kbps to n x 64 Kbps where n = 1,2,3,32.

MLLN applications
Corporate hi--speed Internet Access through NIB Point to Multipoint Connection for data circuit Point to Point Connection for data circuit Hotline connectivity for voice LAN-Inter Connection EPABX Inter--connection Virtual Private Network on MLLN Network Extension of VPN (MPLS) to customer through MLLN

STRUCTURE OF MLLN
The MLLN is planned as three tier structure A Central Node provide following functions: NMS Centre. Connectivity to second stage Nodes. Second stage Node : It is located at major cities of a Telecom Circle, where demand for leased line is high. Third Stage Node : It is located at smaller cities/ towns of a Telecom circle where demand for leased line is lower.

MLLN NODES
A Node can be described as a digital Multiplexer equipped with several trunk interfaces & as a digital cross connect device equipped with several channel interfaces. DXC (Digital cross connect) VMUX (Versatile Multiplexer) NTU (Network Terminating Unit) NMS (Network Management system)

MLLN STRUCTURE

Network Termination Unit (NTU)

As the name suggests, NTUs are basically termination units for the MLLN system. It is the equipment which is located within the user premises. A copper twin connects the NTUs to the respective VMUX (the OMH card of the VMUX). BSNL provides subscribers with a number of NTU versions, but the two most prominent ones are Tellabs 8110 CTU-S and Tellabs 8110 CTU-R.

VMUX(8150 node)
Tellabs 8150 basic node is the basic building block of the Tellabs 8100 system. VMUX is a small capacity cross connect device & is installed at different sites for providing user connectivity. It is used in local exchange or backbone networks or customer premises networks, depending on the needed services & applications.

VMUX Card Description

OMH (Octet Module Housing): The copper twin from the subscribers reaches the MDF (Main Distribution Frame) and then from that the line is terminated at the OMH card. The number of OMH cards depends on the user density. Each card consists of four ports each port terminating two subscriber lines. QMH (Quadrat Module Housing) and XCG (Cross Connect Group): The OMH is connected to the QMH and the XCG from which the multiplexed-demultiplexed output is sent to the slave rack of a DXC. The QMH and XCG cards have four ports, each port housing one E1 links.

Digital Cross Connect (DXC)

DXCs at Metros are designated as Regional DXCs (R-DXC). DXCs at different maintenance regions apart from metros are called Sub-regional DXCs (SR- DXC) DXCs in the SSAs (Secondary Switching Area) level are called SS-DXC. A DXC (Digital X-Connection) is equipped with several trunk (E1) interfaces coming from other DXCs or VMUXs.
