Carrier Ethernet Edge Switch
Nokia Siemens Networks A-2200 Carrier Ethernet Edge Switch is part of the complete NSN end-to-end packet transport solution the comprises access, aggregation core and management.
A-2200 support a diverse selection of services and applications which include: Enterprise, Mobile Backhaul and Converged networks.
A-2200 is a ,modular multi-service switch, supporting both Ethernet and legacy TDM applications.
This 1.5U MEF-certified device is equipped with two redundant hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies, redundant fans and Dry Contact alarm interface for alarm management.
A-2200 is full managed by the ASPEN management system offering end-to-end management solution and enables efficient point & click configuration, SLA measurement, traffic engineering and network resource allocation.
Features:
• Carrier-class features such as
redundant power supplies, N+1 fan
redundancy and dry contact

performance of Ethernet within the
LAN environment, the demand for
metro network performance has
never been greater.
The biggest challenge for service
providers of all types is to deliver
not only cost-effective and scalable
performance, but also, and more
importantly, a Carrier Ethernet
solution that facilitates new
services, rapid and easy
provisioning and dramatically
reduced operational costs.

Product Overview
Nokia Siemens Networks A-2200 complements the A-2000 series product line by adding extended switching
capacity for the most mission critical applications and for providing Ethernet services from Carrier Central Offices, PoPs and Collocation Cages. It is a one and half rack-unit high, compact Carrier
Ethernet Edge Switch that
delivers cost-effective 10/100 Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and CES/TDM access interfaces for end customers. All the access modules are hot swappable. It
has four Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SSF-pluggable ports for connectivity to the Carrier Ethernet core network. Redundant load-sharing AC and DC power are also hot swappable and field
Replaceable Fan Units.
The A-2200 can be deployed as high-end CPE working with the Nokia Siemens Networks A-4000 and A-8000 series of Carrier Ethernet Core
Switches and Nokia Siemens Networks’ASPEN management system. In addition, the A-2200 can be used as an aggregation switch working together with the A-210 or A-1180 demarcation
device to provide a very cost-effective access solution. The A-2200 will also be part of the NSN CET Next-Generation solution and fully
interoperate with CET NG switches. Using these products in conjunction, carriers and service providers can construct a powerful Metro infrastructure with high performance
and efficiency, designed to quickly deliver profitable communication services.
The A-2200 features 8Gbps non-blocking switching capacity. It offers up to 2,000 protected simultaneous connections supporting point-to-point,
point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint services. Customer traffic can be mapped to connections using multiple and flexible rules from layer 1 (port-based) up to layer 3 (IP Address,
Protocol Type and DSCP bits).

Applications
MEF-Compliant Service Attributes
The A-2200 delivers flexible, affordable Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
access interfaces, supporting point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint services. Customer traffic can be mapped to connections using any combination of rules from layer 1 to
layer 3.
The A-2200 fully supports SLAs defined
by MEF service definitions including:
• Committed Information Rate (CIR)
• Excess Information Rate (EIR)
• Priority for bounded delay and jitter
• Protection levels (sub-10sec or sub-50ms)
In addition to pure Ethernet connectivity, service providers can migrate legacy TDM traffic onto their
Carrier Ethernet network using Nokia Siemens Networks Circuit Emulation Services modules that provide ITU-T compliant E1/T1, E3/T3 and STM-
1/OC-3 interfaces.
Full Protection and Reliability
The A-2200 has been designed todeliver the SONET-like reliability thatcarriers demand, but with the price,performance and scalability of CarrierEthernet. The protection mechanism of
the A-2200 is similar to MPLS Fast Reroute, and thus can achieve sub-50ms fail-over time.It also offers an end-to-end protectionmechanism that protects against any
types of failure within sub-10seconds,according to service profiles, and in addition, Multi-Failure protection and In-Service-SW-Upgrade
Industry-Leading Service Provisioning
and Management Solution Nokia Siemens Networks Service Provisioning for EthernetNokia Siemens Networks’ ASPENsolution is the industry’s simplest
network management and servicemanagement platform for managingCarrier Ethernet services. ASPEN delivers enhanced service management capabilities for rapid service
provisioning, comprehensive network and element management, performance and fault management, and seamless integration with existing OSS applications. ASPEN software
allows carriers and service providers to reliably and cost-effectively manage all elements of the network to deliver the most reliable, scalable and cost-
effective Ethernet service offerings. Using a multi-layered modular architecture, ASPEN software supports large, dynamic carrier-class networks and is ideal for minimizing hardware
deployment time, service planning, provisioning and monitoring.

Multi-service CPE with HighService Availability for BusinessCustomers
The A-2200 boasts a broad range of intelligent network services, featuring granular Quality of Service (QoS) and sub-50ms protection that enable service providers to rapidly provision
secure Ethernet access with fully MEF-compliant Service Level Agreements (SLAs).• High revenues from multi-services• Fast trouble-shooting with the help of
strong OAM functions• Flexible customer traffic mapping schemes• Support for single-strand fiber, reducing fiber cost
• Ease of management and service provisioning
Multi-service Aggregator in Central Office (CO)Suitable for CO and street cabinet
deployment with Dry Contact alarm interface, the A-2200 can be used in the CO to aggregate multiple business customers and deliver flexible, affordable E-Line, E-LAN and E-Tree
Ethernet services as well as TDM services.• Rich set of interfaces with high port density allows aggregating many customers of various types
• A complete solution working with A-1180 and A-210 demarcationdevices, providing end-to-end management and OAM functions• Single-strand fiber interfaces,
reducing fiber cost almost by half• Support for TDM grooming functions (T1/E1 to DS3 & OC-3/STM-1), helping keep the existing TDM-based services
unchanged while providing new Ethernet services.
Advanced QoS mechanisms
The A-2200 offers a variety of tools for QoS and SLA:• Hard QoS supporting CIR, EIR and priority • Traffic Shaping and Connection
Admission Control (CAC) • WFQ with Strict priority• Shaper per port and per service• Policing and DiffServ.
