EION's Tidal 500 Multi Service Gateway transports T1/E1 traffic from corporate or service provider networks across a wireless link. The single T1/E1 or 4xT1/E1 Tidal 500 is ideally suited to many applications, including leased line replacement, backhauling cellular traffic from mobile cell sites, extending service provider networks, providing link redundancy or rapid deployment and much more.

High Accuracy Clocking

Clocking and clock-recovery is a critical element to TDM network performance. The Tidal 500 offers a range of clock recovery algorithms and oscillator options that tune timing so the network meets even the most stringent timing requirements. Employing a sophisticated clock recovery system to ensure very accurate timing and synchronization, it links two locations with minimal latency and no reduction in voice quality.

TDM over a Packet Network

Circuit Emulation Services are delivered as packets across the Tidal 500 using the Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) connection protocols developed in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Delivering synchronous T1/E1 voice and data connection-oriented circuits over a converged IP network requires algorithms that minimize packetization delay, latency and frame delay variation (or jitter) across the network. The Tidal 500 incorporates features that enhance quality of service and network performance by optimizing packet size, clock recovery, and modulation techniques to minimize latency and jitter.

Wireless Flexibility

Delivering fractional or full T1/E1, EION’s wireless T1/E1 solutions are readily able to meet your specific network needs. Capacity can easily be increased simply by adding additional radios and Tidal 500 gateway pairs. Simultaneous T1/E1 voice and Ethernet traffic is supported via an optional Ethernet port. Whether you need to start a network from scratch or need to augment wireline links, EION’s wireless T1/E1 solution eliminates the costs and restrictions of traditional landline solutions, giving you the performance and reliability your operation demands.
