What Does an MSAN Give You

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

 Definition of an MSAN
A 'Multi-Service access node' or (MSAN) also known as
MSAG or 'Multi-Service Access Gateway' is a device typically
installed in a telephone exchange (although sometimes in a
roadside serving area interface cabinet) which connects
customers' telephone lines to the core network, to provide
telephone, ISDN, and broadband such as DSL all from a
single platform.

Typical outdoor MSAN cabinet consists of NarrowBand

(POTS), BroadBand (xDSL) services, batteries with rectifiers,
optical transmission unit and copper distribution frame.

 Drivers for FTTx Growth

Demand for bandwidth

Predominately driven by video applications, peer-to-peer (P2P)
file sharing and online gaming
Allows service providers to differentiate on wider content
Government subsidies
Ongoing national initiatives to support deep fiber access
Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and France
US Broadband Stimulus is North Americas first push
Reduced operational costs of maintaining legacy copper
based services
Eliminates distance sensitivity and largely eliminates asymmetrical
nature of services (bigger upstream for P2P and Online Gaming)
Less active equipment in the network to serve a large base of
customers
