FOX615 Multiservice Platform

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the FOX615 Multiservice Platform by ABB, designed to address the challenges faced by utility communication networks. It highlights the need for robust and reliable telecommunications in the context of increasing digitalization and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Challenges in Utility Communication
Utilities face challenges such as the need for reliable service, long investment cycles, and the integration of existing infrastructure. Unlike public telecom networks, utility networks evolve slowly and require high interoperability between existing and new installations.

Teleprotection Functionality
Teleprotection is critical for safeguarding electrical grids. It requires high reliability and quality of service, as it operates under the pressure of protecting critical infrastructure. New technologies must prove robust enough to match existing equipment before being used in electrical networks.

FOX615 Multiservice Platform
The FOX615 platform supports both traditional TDM (PDH/SDH) and MPLS-TP, allowing for seamless migration and extension of existing communication infrastructures. It provides guaranteed communication performance for critical applications and supports a hybrid approach combining SDH and MPLS-TP technologies.

Cyber Security
The platform ensures improved network security through layered communication architectures. It employs a comprehensive security policy, including denial of service protection, data modification protection, encryption, and centralized user account management.

Network Management
ABB's FOXMAN-UN is a powerful network management system that integrates FOX615 and other ABB communication devices. It offers features like graphical network representation, synchronization status monitoring, and performance monitoring of links.

Conclusion
ABB's FOX615 platform is designed for deployment in harsh environments and offers integrated teleprotection interfaces. It supports both TDM and MPLS-TP networks, ensuring reliable functionality under extreme conditions. ABB's long-standing experience in utility communications ensures that their solutions are ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
