Watson TDM is the access platform for the most
demanding business customers. High revenue
TDM services like leased lines for voice and data
as well as mobile base station backhaul are
the main target applications of this proven plat-
form. The inherent nature of TDM combined
with the quality of the Watson TDM family guar-
antees assured quality of service. Watson TDMs
strengths are very low latency, symmetrical
up-and downstream combined with high reliability.
A dedicated link guarantees the highest security.
The Watson TDM portfolio offers exceptional
modularity. A wide range of interfaces and
conguration options allows easy interoperability
with other network devices. The products are
designed to meet the needs of ILECS, CLECS
and mobile operators. The modularity and
scalability of the Watson TDM platform allows the
use of voice and data transmission at utilities
(power, water, gas) and railway operators. Point-
to-point stand-alone installations as well as
multistage chain installations using regenerators
are implemented worldwide in such environ-
ments.
Leased Line Services and Network Architecture
Corporate Data Networks
TDM or Ethernet
Corporate data networks for
national and multinational
companies rely on leased lines
using either nx64, E1 or Ether-
net interfaces. This is one
of Watson TDMs main applica-
tions. Scalability in terms of
speed ranges from 200 Kbps
up to 22.8 Mbps, resulting in
45.6 Mbps aggregated through-
put. Watson TDM products
are fully wire-speed and full-
duplex (symmetrical speed).
Corporate Data Networks
Ethernet over TDM
The Watson TDM product line
offers exibility, using Ethernet
interfaces at the customers
site while transporting the data
via TDM-backbones. A spe-
cial built-in function allows cus-
tomers to convert Ethernet to
TDM. Interoperability with all
major brands of router vendors
is assured. Inexpensive Ether-
net interfaces at the customers
site and straight connection to
the in-house LAN are simplied.
Corporate Voice Networks
Watson TDM is designed for
corporate voice networks con-
necting PBXs to the public net-
work. This application uses E1
or fractional E1 interfaces pro-
vided by Watson TDM. PSTN or
ISDN is supported with
full bandwidth (E1) or fractional
bandwidth (fractional E1).
Data and Voice combined
The Watson TDM portfolio of-
fers modems with data and
voice combination. Branches in
corporate networks can be
served by only one leased line
providing data (router IP/
Ethernet) and at the same time
voice (PSTN, ISDN) to a PBX.
Watson TDM offers a high
exibility in assigning band-
width. There is no compromise
on QoS. Voice and data never
interfere with each other,
even in overload situations.
Exceptional Versatility
Schmid products are renowned
for their quality and lead to a
high availability of services.
Service level agreements (SLA)
do not pose a risk for carrier
business models but allow for
high revenue. The opera-
tional expenditure (OPEX) is
very low.
Low Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO)
Watson TDM products are
easy to maintain. The low im-
plementation and mainte-
nance costs result in an excep-
tional price-performance
ratio and, over the long term,
in a very attractive total cost
of ownership (TCO).
Modularity
The system is modular, with
a wide variety of congurations
for legacy and hybrid services.
A broad range of system
components is available. Each
of the components is excep-
tionally exible and can
be adapted to specic needs
simply by using command
line or advanced management
functions.
Scalability
Watson TDM is scalable using
different sizes of subracks,
from one link up to thousands
per location. The speed is
scalable from 200 Kbps up to
22.8 Mbps per link.

Performance
Schmid products offer the best
reach within the industry,
due to careful design and long
term xDSL experience. Cus-
tomers state that they use
Schmid xDSL products exclu-
sively, since no other brand
comes even close in terms of
performance and reach to
copper lines.
Manageability
All products are manageable
locally or remotely either using
a Command Line Language
(CLI) or the simple management
protocol (SNMP). The Schmid
Element Management Software
offers a fully graphical user
interface. This software is easy
to use and offers a complete
set of features.
Standard Compliance
The Watson TDM product line is
compliant with all common
standards and regulations (ITU,
ETSI, IEC, IEEE, ROHS, WEEE).

Enterprise Connectivity
The modularity and scalability
of the Watson TDM platform
allow voice and data transmis-
sion at companies. Several
options are available: from E1,
nx64 to multi-service, com-
bining both in one modem. IP/
Ethernet connectivity allows an
aggregated throughput of up to
45.6 Mbps.
Utilities
Watson TDM is successfully
implemented at utilities
(power/electricity, water, gas)
and railway operators.
Point-to-point stand-alone
installations as well as multi-
stage chain installations
using regenerators are imple-
mented worldwide. TDM or
IP/Ethernet options with addi-
tional add-drop features at
each substation adapt perfectly
to this segments needs.
Mobile Operator
Special Features
In many cases, distances to
mobile base stations are
very long, exceeding the limits
of conventional DSL systems.
Watson TDM offers multi-
pair solutions to extend the
reach. Regenerators, up to two
(2-pair) and up to 8 (1-pair),
extend it even further. Optional
1:1 protection switching pro-
vides ultra-high reliable protec-
tion against copper failure.
Mobile Operator
Applications
Watson products are ideally
suited for backhaul of 2G, 2.5G
and 3G mobile base stations
(GSM, UMTS, CDMA, WCDMA).
Multiple E1 delivery in one
product, mainly used for 2.5G
and 3G mobile base stations,
is simplied with Watson TDM.

able in an elegant tabletop
housing: E1, nx64 and Ethernet
in various combinations. 2 up
to 8-wire SHDSL/SHDSL.bis
models are available.
Subrack
The Watson subrack ts ideally
for installations in 19-inch
racks. This 12-slot subrack is
suitable for any type of
Watson TDM plug-in card and
can optionally be equipped
with an alarm relay unit
and a SNMP management unit.
Depth ts 30cm ETSI or NEBS
racks.
Minirack
The Watson TDM minirack is
a space-saving 19-inch subrack
that occupies only 1U height
in the rack. It is designed for a
single plug-in card.
Tabletop Housing
The Watson TDM Tabletop
Housing is a space-saving
micro-rack that occupies only
1U height and has a smaller
width than the minirack, just
about the size of a plug-in.
It is designed for a single plug-
in card.
Plug-In Cards (LTU)
A wide variety of plug-in cards
is available. All Watson TDM
cards t into the Watson TDM
subrack, minirack or Tabletop
Housing. E1, nx64 and IP/Eth-
ernet Interfaces in various
combinations and 2 up to 8-wire
SHDLS/SHDSL.bis models
are available.
Regenerator
A two-pair G.SHDSL regenera-
tor is available for Watson TDM
modems. It can either operate
as two independent single-
pair regenerators or as one re-
generator for a two-pair system.
Remote and local powering
are supported. Several hous-
ings in different IP classes for
1 up to 6 regenerator modules
are available.
Network Management
The entire Watson product range
is manageable with WEM-2,
Schmids SNMP-based man-
agement software. WEM-2 is a
client-server based manage-
ment system with a graphical
user interface, optimized for
Watson modems. WEM-2
is available for Microsoft
Windows and Sun Solaris oper-
ating systems and can
run parallel to HP OpenView.
