Advanced Intelligent Multi-services Access Platform

About the Product

The Advanced Intelligent Multi-services Access (AIMA3000) is a high-integrity, high-density headend platform to enable MSO operators to build or upgrade their networks to meet today and future multi-services access requirements.

The AIMA3000 simplifies MSO operator’s transition to IP Networks by providing a complete range of intelligent, interoperable, RF and optical modules for HFC, RFoG, PON video overlay and other applications.

The design employs a 19” rack of 4RU height, with 17 slots (0~16) for high-density application modules and integrated front and rear fibre-access panel for easy fibre management. Slot 0 is used for a System Management Module (ASMM). Slots 1~16 can be used for any of the application modules. This provides capability for a maximum of 32 standard forward-path laser transmitters, or for 64 QAM laser transmitters, or for 64 return-path receivers.

Comprehensive control and monitoring of the AIMA3000 is done by the ASMM module. The ASMM module has front and rear Ethernet ports which provide access to both an integrated web-server and an SNMP agent. The web-server delivers HTTP/XML status monitoring pages which include any AIMA3000 monitoring points to provide fast and reliable status updates. The AIMA3000 chassis (ACHA) can be accessed through an IP network with either the NMS3-NetCraft field tool or via the NMS3-Enterprise-II management suite for network operating centres, as well as the optional hand-held controller (AHHC) via the front USB port.

As a crucial element in any small or large city optical network, the AIMA3000 is designed with hot-swappable application modules that retain their own settings and allow for continuous system operation without being dependent on any central module, providing uninterrupted services to subscribers.
