Replace SONET/SDH over ATM cards

[b.ransom]

SONET circuit prices are a deal that we can't refuse. Looking to replace ATM-oc3/CES modules in the 7206VXR with the PA-POS-OC3SMI and t1 cards. Has anyone done this before? Order a noncatenated STM1 for 3 voice t1's and the rest IP data?

Thanks

Brad,

You'll be stranding 25/28 of the STS-1 you use for voice T1's. You could benefit from a low-end SONET platform that features Low Order Virtual Concatenation. This will allow transport of several T1's while using the rest of that STS, and the other empty STS's, for data transport. The Cisco ONS 15310 does this nicely. It has just begun shipping, and its ethernet card will be available in April.

Hope this helps.
