Quick Eagle Networks™ brand new DL48x0 G.SHDSL Access Platform™ is changing the pace of the Intelligent Transportation Systems market.

The DL48x0 platform has been designed specifically for the ITS market, meeting worldwide environmental specifications. With its wide array of features and high level of versatility, the DL48x0 G.SHDSL Access Platform is the Ethernet-based transmission system of choice for many city municipalities and state DOTs worldwide.

One of the biggest obstacles to widespread deployment of the next generation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (e.g. CCTV surveillance, video detection, transit signal priority, traffic message signs) has been the bandwidth limitation of the existing infrastructure of copper interconnects and its low-speed transmission systems. The majority of city municipalities and state DOTs still cannot justify the investment to deploy fiber, therefore they have to find other ways to leverage the existing copper interconnects to run their traffic controllers and other evolving ITS applications. So how can they accomplish this without upgrading their infrastructure?

Quick Eagle Networks' new DL48x0 G.SHDSL Access Platform is the answer:

The DL48x0 is a cost-effective, Ethernet-based transmission system that takes advantage of the latest G.SHDSL technology, G.SHDSL.bis. Extended Rate Bonded G.SHDSL (G.SHDSL.bis) offers unprecedented possibilities for symmetric transmission over ordinary copper lines.

To address the varying needs depending on intersection architecture, interconnect distances, and other factors, the DL48x0 is available in three versions: as a four-port model (DL4840), six-port (DL4860) and eight-port model (DL4880). Each G.SHDSL port supports up to 5.69 Mbps (1 pair / 2-wire mode) or 11.38 Mbps (2 pair / 4-wire mode) symmetrical data throughput over copper.

The DL48x0 G.SHDSL Access Platform's ports can be used as individual ports or bundled into a virtual pipe, enabling maximum throughput rates of up to 45 Mbps (DL4840), 68 Mbps (DL4860), or 91 Mbps (DL4880), respectively, at the same reach range. With the DL48x0 you can now achieve fiber-like performance without its high cost.

The DL48x0 G.SHDSL Access Platform offers sophisticated management and diagnostic tools as well as enhanced security features (e.g. user level authorization, password, user name). The DL48x0 is a highly versatile device that supports bridging, static routing, and dynamic routing modes all in one box. Furthermore, a built-in four-port Ethernet switch enables the end user to deploy several applications at the same time. The DL48x0 G.SHDSL Access Platform also provides 802.1q VLAN tag marking (stripping / tagging) and forwarding, Layer-2 and Layer-3 (DiffServ) Quality of Service, Rapid Spanning Tree (which provides a redundant ring topology for critical applications), and superior noise immunity.

Main Features:

  • Support the latest G.SHDSL standards (ETSI TS 101524 and ITU G.991.2 G.SHDSL / G.SHDSL.bis), offering unrivaled symmetric data rates up to 5.69 Mbps or 11.38 Mbps per G.SHDSL port over 2-wire or 4-wire of ordinary telephone lines


  • G.SHDSL ports can be used independently as well as bundled into a "virtual pipe", enabling maximum data rates of up to 45 Mbps (DL4840 model), 68 Mbps (DL4860 model), or 91 Mbps (DL4880 model)


  • Support of a variety of different network topologies, including Point-to-point, Point-to-multipoint, Linear add-drop / multipoint daisy-chain, Star / branch-off (North - South - West - East), Ring, and Mesh


  • Integrated four-port, auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch


  • Support bridging, static routing, and dynamic routing (RIP1, RIP2, OSPF, optional BGP-4) all in one box


  • Support Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1w) to provide automatic fault tolerance and redundancy by retransmitting or finding alternate paths within the network when a failure occurs


  • Support of VLAN 802.1q tag marking (stripping / tagging) and forwarding and IGMPv3 for multicast broadcast


  • Layer-2 (for Ethernet prioritization) and optional Layer-3 DiffServ-compliant Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities for traffic prioritization and bandwidth management


  • Advanced security features such as password and user name, user level authorization, and RADIUS network authentication


  • Options:

  • Optional BGP-4 routing protocol


  • Optional standard-based DiffServ with priority queues, congestion control, six forwarding classes, traffic metering, and multi-field classifier

  •
