NeXa
Automating the last mile
The Distribution Frame is the last piece of
the telecom infrastructure to be auto-
mated. Automating the Distribution Frame
will reduce operative costs and enable ef-
ficient delivery of new services.
To fully automate the manual part of the fixed net-
work will provide unparalleled potential to improve
your business! Dramatically lower OPEX, Improved
cash-flow and faster response to customer requests
are the results of deploying NeXa, the World’s fore-
most Automatic Distribution Frame.
In addition to replacing the cumbersome, manual re-
connection of lines in exchanges and street cabi-
nets, the centralized management system enables a
fully automated process eliminating manual inter-
vention. It can even be made customer activated,
boosting profits even further.
In the transformation of legacy networks to next
generation it ensures taking full benefit of available
technology.
NeXa ADF System is built on state of the art tech-
nology, is field proven and in operations today. With
its excellent transmission and line characteristics
NeXa is ready to replace the old jumper wire on the
line.
NeXa System Architecture
The NeXa system is a highly scalable Automatic
Distribution Frame available to deploy in configura-
tions up to 160.000x160.000 ports and in both street
cabinet and central office locations.
The NeXa system is composed of a number of
separate components that can be combined to cre-
ate individual solutions to meet the needs of differ-
ent sites.
On an overview level, the system can be divided
into two main parts:
o NeXa Control System. The control system pro-
vides interfaces northbound for provisioning and
fault management, web based GUI, cross connect
routing functions, database repository etc. One
control system can control one or more NeXa
ADF sites.
o NeXa Automatic Distribution Frame (NeXa
ADF). The NeXa ADF provides the actual (physi-
cal) switching capabilities and the power man-
agement controlling the switching.

NeXa Control System, Site Control-
ler (SC)
The NeXa SC state of the art SW suite uses Java
Standard Edition, has an embedded version of a
web server and support standard interfaces such as
SOAP and SNMP
The application support High Availability.
With the standard interfaces the NeXa SC facilitate
a simple integration into an existing telecom stan-
dard BSS/OSS environment.
NeXa Automatic Distribution Frame
The main components of the NeXa system are de-
signed to work in all the applicable environments,
whether in a Street Cabinet or Central Office.

Each site, depending on its configuration,
supports a number of ports on the line side
and station side respectively
Features
The NeXa ADF is an any-to-any non-blocking con-
nection system. The system supports the setting of
line-to-line, station-to-station as well as multipath
connections on both line and station side.
Batch operations can be used both to set up new
and delete several connections at once. This is par-
ticularly useful at cut-over of the system or new ser-
vices. The system administration function connects
individual users to specific views and rights tailored
to the operation process needs.
The NeXa system Test Access support remote at-
tachment of test heads.
Building practice
NeXa is available for ETSI or 19 inch cabinets for
smaller installations, typically used for street cabi-
nets.
For Central Office application and large installations
the compact NeXa rack building system provides
small footprint and facilitate efficient installation pro-
cedures. The NeXa scanning function, which docu-
ments the connectivity, is another important tool for
implementation.
