MS7000

WAYSTREAM ACCESS SWITCH

The MS7000 includes 24 and 48-port 1 Gbit/s Ethernet ports with four 10Gbit/s SFP+ uplinks designed for fiber broadband networks to deliver data, voice and video services.

The MS7000 is a hybrid architecture, including both a switch ASIC for up to wire-speed performance and a network processor (NPU) for advanced service features and unique troubleshooting tools.

Built in a small form factor with unique front-to-side airflow, the MS7000 is a reliable platform for service delivery over many years. Extended temperature versions supporting -20 to +70 degree C allow deployment into harsh installation environments and all connectors in the front provides easy access. With up to 52 ports the MS7000 enables high density fiber to the home/business installations.

The MS7000 runs Waystream iBOS operating system, a feature rich and reliable software that provide advanced service features such as ingress/egress shaping with Weighted Fair Queuing and quality measurement and analysis of multicast TV. Various layer 2 features support public and private networks, wholesale and redundant networking for building highly available FTTx networks for business and residential users. As of iBOS 7.7.5 the platform also supports stacking for network management. The stacking feature in iBOS allows up to eight switches to be grouped together into a switch-complex that is managed by a single headnode. This creates a single logical switch from a network management point of view. The participating switches need to be connected to each other, but are not required to be in the same physical location.

Waystreams MS7000 have a unique air-cooling design to support high density fiber networks.

Waystream recommends using Waystream SFP:s for optimal performance and system availability, ensuring the best compatibility with our switches. For those aiming to reduce their environmental impact, we also offer ultra-low power SFP:s designed to minimize the carbon dioxide equivalent footprint. While Waystream
switches are open to the use of third-party SFP:s, the quality of these SFP:s can vary significantly, and as such, we cannot guarantee their compatibility or performance with our equipment. To help evaluate compatibility, Waystream offers a “3rd Party SFP Interop Evaluation Service,” where we can test the interoperability of a preferred third-party SFP with our switches. If this service is not used, we cannot guarantee the functionality of the third-party SFPs with our equipment, and they will remain unsupported.
