The Tellabs® 5500 Digital Cross-Connect System enables you to get the most capacity out of your wireless and wireline networks. Its high-density port shelves and high-density network switching core save you money, space and energy.
The system provides non-blocking, any-to-any connectivity for all interfaces, from T-1 to OC-48. It offers full matrix utilization regardless of deployed port type and can scale from as few as 16 equivalent STS (DS3/STS1s) ports to more than 4,600 equivalent STS ports.
The system can expand in capacity and functionality "in service" without downtime.
