ME60
The ME60 Multi-Service Control Gateway (MSCG) series products are characterized as the best BRAS in industry. The first MSCG was deployed in 2002, and 23,600 sets have been deployed. The sophisticated ME60 series include 3 models for sale now: ME60-X3, ME60-X8 and ME60-X16, which have 3, 8 and 16 I/O slots respectively.
Huawei ME60 has been recognized for large capacity & huge concurrent subscribers, outstanding reliability making nonstop services, and full services bearing solution.
400G hardware platform & 1st 40G BRAS
The ME60-X series chassis is designed on the 400G hardware platform and 10G/20G/40G flexible plug-in cards which provide the most flexibility to meet different requirements and reduce OPEX. And based on the self-developed chipset and abundant experiences in BRAS area, the 1st 40G BRAS in industry was released. Persistent and long term investment guarantee continuous evolution solution in ultra bandwidth era.
Largest concurrent subscribers
256K subscribers per chassis and 32K subscribers per LPU can be managed in a ME60, the operation and management are simplified. Meanwhile, Users can access the network through Ethernet, xDSL, WiMAX or PON. In addition, granular management is kept, and ME60 can provide multidimensionality management for subscribers, for example, security control, accounting, subscriber and services identifications, etc.
Elaborate operation capability
The ME60 is the creator and leader of Multi-Service Control Gateway in industry. With the elaborate operation ability, it can provide total full service bearing solution, making singlemetro and multi-play come true. Meanwhile, with the RACS (resource and admission control system), the ME60 can provide elaborate operation solution to provision Video on demand, QoS on demand, Dynamic Service selection, and so on.
The most complete H-QoS solution, including H-QoS, DS-TE and MPLS HQoS, ensuring E2E QoS deployment
Complying with the QoS scheduling model defined in DSL TR-059, the ME60 provides QoS scheduling by using a traffic management (TM) chip. The ME60 can:
- Provide 5-level QoS scheduling capability.
- Support the QoS of the access network, thus avoiding network congestion.
- Provide QoS scheduling for each terminal and session.
The policy is separated from behavior, so the QoS is configured flexibly and deployed conveniently. Moreover, the TM is separated from the packet forwarding engine (PFE), so the QoS processing does not decrease the forwarding speed.The ME60 provides QoS scheduling for the IP and MPLS networks. To meet the QoS demands of IPTV and Metro Ethernet, the ME60 performs traffic classification and congestion management on multicast flows and layer 2 information. Thus the quality of new services can be ensured.
FCC and RET solution improve customers’ experience
iVSE is short for integrated Video Value-added Service Enhancement; Fast Channel Change (FCC) and Retransmission (RET) are two function sub-modules of the iVSE module. FCC is used to address the problem of slow switching between IPTV channels. RET is used to address the problem of packet loss. Packet loss in IPTV services may cause problems such as erratic display or even dark screens.

| CGN | The Carrier Grade NAT features supported by the ME60 include NAT444 and DS-Lite. There are two NAT deployment models: Integrated deployment No changes or small changes are made to the access point on the network. CGN devices are deployed on aggregation nodes to provide CGN functions. Distributed deployment It is used on a newly deployed or an upgraded access network. A card is installed on the BRAS, giving the BRAS the ability to support CGN features. CGN functions are implemented by different BRASs on the network. The following describes the CGN features suported by the ME60: NAT444 DS-Lite | ||
