Cisco 6705 — Integrated Access Device

Product Overview

The Cisco 6705 is a member of the Cisco 6700 series-a carrier class Multi-function Access Platform (MFAP). The Cisco 6705 is designed for customer premise (CP) and small remote terminal (RT) and multi-dwelling unit (MDU) applications. This New World solution provides integrated services from a scalable, modular, and high-bandwidth platform that previously required multiple devices. The Cisco 6705 manages circuit switched and packet-based voice and data traffic simultaneously. This standards-based product (Telcordia, UL, etc.) provides tremendous investment protection for service providers that want to deliver TDM and ATM services today and migrate to a variety of New World services (IP and FR) in the future.

This product is designed for North American competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), inter-exchange carriers (IXCs), and telcos that want to deliver circuit switched telephony services today and migrate to a variety of packet-based New World services from the same platform in the future.

Key Features and Benefits

Cisco 6705 Key Features

• Facilitates the transmission of voice and data simultaneously from a single platform (circuit-switched and packet-based)

• High-density, scalable platform:

  A single Cisco 6705 can support up to 56 POTS circuits, 16 DS1s or 8 T1s.

• TDM and ATM services

• Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) — DS-0s carried in a T1 signal can be used to flexibly transport either voice or data traffic. Typically, this T1 will link a Cisco 6732 (CO) with a Cisco 6705 (CPE).

• When used with a Cisco 6732, the Cisco 6705 delivers a seamless end-to-end (CO, RT, MDU, CPE) integrated access solution

• Narrowband line interface module options — RPOTS/16, FXS/16, RUVG/8, ISDN-BRI/8

• Wideband line interface module transport options — DS1, T1

• Broadband line interface module options — DS3, STS1, OC3c (sub-utilized)

• xDSL line interface module — MSDSL-2W (multi-rate symmetric digital subscriber line, 2 wire) and plan to offer variety of additional xDSL options

Cisco 6705 Benefits

• Protect investment and increase revenue opportunity

  • Enhance existing applications in copper or fiber infrastructures

  • Strategize a natural migration path to New World services (broadband and xDSL)

  • Deliver on-demand voice and data services simultaneously

• Reduce cost

  • Highest density in smallest footprint

  • Increase end-to-end network scalability (Cisco 6732 and Cisco 6705)

  • Reduce inventory and network complexity (Cisco 6732 and Cisco 6705 use the same line interface modules)

• Network management and provisioning

  • The Cisco 6705 chassis supports any slot/any service (slots 1 - 5) and all line cards are hot swappable

  • Intuitive IP-based element management system simplifies network deployment and provisioning (easy-to-use GUI interface)

Cisco 6705 Competitive Advantages

• Scalability — one Cisco 6705 can support up to 56 POTS subscribers

• Reliability — designed as a carrier-class network element (the product is offered with an optional 8-hour battery back-up box for power redundancy)

• Manageability — the IP-based element management system (EMS) makes provisioning and monitoring the Cisco 6705 easy

• End-to-end solution — Cisco has tested and deployed large-scale voice and data networks from the CO, RT, and CPE

• Modularity — Provides a natural migration path for customers to grow from Old World to New World services with minimal effort and limited expense using feature-rich line interface module options

• Telcordia compliant
