Cisco 6732 — Multiservice Access Platform

Product Overview

The Cisco 6732 is a member of the Cisco 6700 Series — a carrier-class Multi-function Access Platform (MFAP). The Cisco 6732 is designed for central office (CO) and large remote terminal (RT) applications. The Cisco 6732 has earned Lucent and Nortel Certifications for use with Class 5 switches (GR-303 and TR-008 interfaces). This New World solution provides integrated services from a scalable, modular, redundant, and high-bandwidth platform that previously required multiple devices. The Cisco 6732 manages circuit switched and packet-based voice and data traffic simultaneously. This standards-based product (NEBS3, 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 6732 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 6732 can support up to 496 POTS circuits, 124 DS1s or 62 T1s.

  • Four Cisco 6732s in a 7 in. (17.8 cm) rack can support up to 1984 POTS circuits, 496 DS1s or 248 T1s.

• ATM transport

• When used with a Cisco 6705, the Cisco 6732 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 options — DS1, T1

• Broadband line interface module options — DS3, STS1, OC3c

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

Cisco 6732 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 (maximize leased space)

  • GR-303 concentration to a Class 5 switch maximizes the switch`s capacity and subscriber revenue potential

  • 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

  • Redundant service modules (bank power supply and main control card) and 1:1 broadband transport protection (DS3 and STS1 in slots 17 - 20) ensures reliable, uninterrupted service

  • The Cisco 6732 chassis supports any slot/any service (slots 1 - 32) and all line cards are hot swappable

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

Cisco 6732 Competitive Advantages

• Scalability — four Cisco 6732 integrated access devices in a 7 ft rack can support up to 1984 POTS subscribers

• Reliability — designed as a carrier-class, the Cisco 6732 integrated access device`s common equipment is fully redundant (also supports 1:1 protection for DS3 and STS1 broadband modules in slots 17 - 20)

• Manageability — the IP-based element management system (EMS) makes provisioning and monitoring the Cisco 6732 easy

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

• Modularity — The Cisco 6732 accommodates any slot/any service performance and 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 card options

• NEBS3 certified and Telcordia compliant

Specifications

1. A single Cisco 6732 can support 4 fully utilized DSX3, STSX1, or OC3C-UNI broadband line interface modules (slots 17 - 20). The Cisco 6732 can also support 27 additional sub-utilized broadband line interface modules in slots 2 - 16 and 21 - 32. Sub-utilized DSX3 and STSX1 modules provide 10 DS1s per circuit. Sub-utilized OC3C-UNI modules support 27 MB of traffic.
