1 Industrial IT for Utility Communications Converged Corporate Network Solutions

2 Perfection in Convergence of TDM- & Packet-ba Convergence Talk of converging Time-Division-Multiplex-(TDM)-based systems, and packetoriented data networks is everywhere. Today, the latest Internet-Protocol-(IP)- centric solutions focus on the convergence of TDM applications and data services onto a single infrastructure with significant bandwidth requirements on LANs and backbones. These applications will be multimedia, including not only the traditional TDM applications for utilities such as telephony, Scada, substation protection but also IP-based solutions for business application, administration, video conferencing and surveillance. More and more Scada center interconnections and energy-trading systems will be IP-based. It shall however be noted, that high-capacity resilient SDH backbone concepts are still a key element for reliable and missioncritical converged utility networks. Corporate Utility Networks Traditional utilites still maintain very often two more or less independent networks: One for so-called operational purposes such as protection, emergency phones or modem-based Scada systems. Mostly, these systems are run by the telecom or communication team and support mainly TDM-oriented connections. A second team takes care of the IT infrastructure, maintaining their own network including slow-speed WAN interconnections for linking two or multiple LAN islands. Most of the WANs are using expensive leased or ISDN lines. Their performance depends completely on the reliability and service capabilities of thirdparty service providers. With today s technical convergence possibilities and growing cost-cutting pressure, a going together for a Converged Corporate Network seems to be a must.

Ideal to bring LAN interconnectivity to small offi ces or home, e.g. for Internet applications. 4 hubbed Ethernet ports Combines routing functionality with DSL connectivity over normal copper lines Space-effi cient and easy to install Other related WAN-oriented PDH/SDH Multiplexers As ABB s LAN/WAN coupling solutions meet all the appropriate standards for the required interoperability; stand-alone devices (AXX...) can be used in conjunction with any third-party SDH/PDH multiplexer. Most frequently used PDH/SDH devices are however: ABB s FOX515 with a complete range of interfaces for any type of legacy, voice or backbone application ABB s partner product lines Optera Metro SDH & DWDM (Nortel) 6300-series (Tellabs) Other related LAN-oriented switching/routing devices Due to a high level of standardization, nearly any third-party switching and routing product can be connected to ABB s LAN/WAN coupling solutions. Most frequently integrated devices are Nortel and Cisco. With both, ABB has Global Partnership Agreements.

The AXXEDGE is a powerful one-unit high device with 4 slots. The base-unit contains redundant selectable 230 VAC / 48 VDC power supplies, a 64 x 64 equivalent cross-connect (DXC at VC-4, VC-3, VC-12 level) and a 20 Gbps packet switch / multiprotocol router. The following SDH/PDH/LAN modules are available: 1 x 6 / 2 x STM-4 / 8 x / 2 x 63 x E1 / 21 x E1 + 3 x E3-T3 / 6 x E3-T3 / 8 x E1 8 x FE / 4 x FE / 2 x GbE (opt. & el.) / 1 x GbE (opt. & el.)

6 Frequently asked questions about Converged Corporate Network Solutions (CCNS) As a system integrator with a worldwide customer base with planned and implemented Converged Corporate Utility Networks, ABB faces often similar customer concerns. Some of the frequently asked questions you find below. Q: Why are CCNS especially for utilities of high interest? A: Many utilities have highly valuable own assets like installed backbones, access premises and LANs including the required maintenance organization. Not many other enterprises have such a variety of different applications, ranging from teleprotection up to carrier s carrier business. By using these own assets, cash-out to external service providers (e.g. for leased lines) can be reduced, the network availability and reliability will increase and the dependencies from third parties will be minimized. Selling communication capacity to external customers may lead to extra revenues. Q: What are the most important aspects that we have to consider when planning our Corporate Utility Network? A: Clearly distinguish between physical and logical network topology. A traffic matrix of today s situation and the projected network use in e.g. fi ve-years time is the key. Major strategic decisions (e.g. going for a centralized server infrastructure) need to be considered in a very early stage to avoid later data bottle-necks. Q: How shall our today s IT-team and the separated communication team handle the common responsibility issues in a corporate network? A: In a properly planned network there are very clear interfaces between LAN and WAN parts, that can also be used to segregate responsibilities and trace performance data. Today s network management systems with their security features, traceability and individually allocable access rights fully support clear responsibilities. Q: Each user group expects to get guaranteed bandwidth. Especially protection people can not accept any compromises for their extremely time-critical applications. How can a Corporate Network fulfill these high expectations? A: CCNS are still built on TDM technology, where the time-critical signals are transported in PDH-/SDH time slots, which are absolutely independent from the packet traffic to be carried. The remaining predefined bandwidth can be allocated to specific ports or VLANs which guarantee the required Quality of Service (QoS) also for the packet traffic. Q: What are the advantages in terms of network resilience when we use our PDH/ SDH-based WAN infrastructure for LAN interconnectivity between our various sites? A: PDH & SDH provide sophisticated traffi c protection schemes, which allow to switchover to redundant paths in less than 50 ms. This applies not only to TDM traffic but also to all the packet-oriented connections (e.g. IP) running over those links. This is, compared to the typical, traffic-affecting restauration schemes of traditional packet networks with Spanning Tree or manual reconfi guration, more than 100 times faster. Q: Shall we target to put all the Network Management System functionality into one tool? A: Finding the right level of network management system (NMS) integration is key for an efficient and flexible operation of a corporate network. It shall however be noted, that various levels of NMS functionalities had been defined exactly to ease this modularity. The tasks of an Element Manager shall never be mixed up with those of the overlaying umbrella NMS with the network view. Q: How can we make our Corporate Utility Network secure in terms of hacker attacks? A: Statistics have shown, that the biggest threats are not coming from outside hackers but from the own staff, either caused accidentially or by bad intension. Therefore, a strict handling of access rights and protection schemes is a must. To fight against outside attacks, fi rewalls and the implementation of Virtual Private Networks are two building blocks of a secure corporate network.
