Description
The Ciena PME-412 is a compact and robust Packet Microwave Edge device designed for high-capacity wireless backhaul applications. Ideal for telecom operators and service providers, it supports up to four STM-1 interfaces and 12 Fast Ethernet ports, enabling efficient aggregation and transport of TDM and Ethernet traffic. Its modular design supports flexible deployment in both all-outdoor and split-mount configurations, making it suitable for space-constrained environments. The unit is built to withstand harsh conditions, with a rugged chassis and passive cooling for reliable performance in the field.
Technically, the PME-412 supports advanced QoS, VLAN tagging, and traffic shaping to ensure optimal data prioritization and service delivery. It is compliant with MEF standards and supports SyncE and IEEE 1588v2 for precise network synchronization, critical for mobile backhaul. The device includes hot-swappable SFP ports, redundant power options, and integrated management via SNMP and a web-based GUI. This makes the PME-412 a versatile and cost-effective solution for expanding or upgrading legacy networks with high-performance packet transport capabilities.
