Gridcom DXC FamilyAccess and Transmission MultiplexerReliable and fast communication is vital for continuous operation of power delivery systems and mission-critical operational services. GE’s Gridcom DXC suite of products offer hybrid platforms to enable aggregation and transport of all operational services over optical fibers. For many years now, telecommunication networks have been undergoing significant changes. Increased bandwidth requirements and a large variety of services to be transported have led to much more versatile but also complex access and transmission equipment, adapted for the next generation of networks. Gridcom DXC/eDXC/DXC-S is more than a conventional access and transmission platform, and is based on a modular and evolutive configuration platform. The range of Gridcom DXC/eDXC interfaces cover all needs from conventional (FXO, FXS, 2/4W E&M, RS232, V.35, V.36, X.21, RS485, 64 k G.703) to more sophisticated configurations oriented toward new data network architectures such as Ethernet, IP and MPLS-TP. Gridcom DXC/eDXC also includes a standard C37.94 interface to interconnect protection and teleprotection devices through optical fibre, G.703 Co-directional and 1/0 dry contact alarms. GE Gridcom DXC-H is a multi-technology platform supporting legacy interfaces, PDH, SDH, SONET, MPLS-TP and Carrier Ethernet. It provides 400Gbps switching capacity, improved latency time for critical applications through MPLS-TP, transmission of up to 100Gbps, data encryption, and different protection schemes including hitless.

The Gridcom DXC/eDXC offers generic slots capable of supporting such interfaces as E1/T1, Ethernet 10/100Mb compatible with IEC 61850, xDSL, G.703, RS232, RS422, RS485 V35, X21, 2/4W E&M, FXO, FXS, Terminal Server, C37.94, as well as short and long haul optical interfaces. All vital parts, such as the power supply and the processing board can also be 1+1 protected.
The Gridcom eDXC/DXC-S/DXC-H provides enhanced capacities on transmission STM1/4/16, MPLS-TP, Carrier Ethernet, 1GE and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and Gridcom eDXC supports all PDH boards available on e-terragridcom DXC equipment.
DXC-H supports MPLS-TP LSP 1:1/1+1 protection and ERPS, with protection switching time<50ms. Ethernet, MPLS section, and end-to-end OAM are also provided for monitoring service integrity and performance. The DXC-H’s powerful functions enable customers to provision a service-grooming hub, ring, or mesh packet network with ultimate ease.
By concept and design, Gridcom DXC/eDXC/DXC-S is a cost-effective solution to match a high level of availability and harsh environmental constraints.
In addition, it offers a modular approach in terms of protection mechanisms like controller redundancy, shared power supply units as well as 1+1 protection for all transmission and optical interfaces, providing a suitable solution to critical applications.
Different management solutions are available, answering to different network complexities and customer maintenance organizations for remote configuration and management:
