NOKIA 7360 ISAM FX-4 INTELLIGENT SERVICES ACCESS MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Nokia 7360 Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) FX-4 is a high-capacity, carrier-grade access node engineered for modern fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) and Passive Optical Network (PON) deployments. Designed to address the demands of mass-market fiber aggregation and enterprise passive optical LANs (POL), the FX-4 variant offers a compact yet highly scalable solution that converges residential, business, and mobile backhaul services onto a single, future-ready platform. This document provides a comprehensive overview and technical datasheet for the Nokia 7360 ISAM FX-4, detailing its hardware architecture, forwarding engine specifications, and operational advantages.

HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE & SILICON

The Nokia 7360 ISAM FX-4 is a 5 Rack Unit (RU) high shelf that serves as the foundation for a high-performance Optical Line Terminal (OLT) system. The system is built around a non-blocking backplane architecture that provides dual 100Gb/s connections to each Line Termination (LT) slot, ensuring wire-speed performance regardless of service mix .

The core intelligence of the system resides in the Network Termination (NT) cards. The FX-4 supports the FANT-F NT card, which is powered by a 480Gb/s switching matrix operating in an Active/Active redundancy mode. This architecture enables uninterrupted service and load sharing, critical for carrier-grade availability. The platform also supports an optional Network Termination Input Output (NTIO) module, the FNIO-A, which provides an additional 80Gb/s of network capacity through eight configurable 10Gb/s or 1Gb/s network links .

KEY FEATURES & ROUTING LOGIC

- High-Capacity Backplane: Delivers 2 x 100Gb/s per slot, guaranteeing non-blocking performance for high-bandwidth services .

- Multi-Service Convergence: Simultaneously supports GPON, EPON with DPoE, 10G EPON, point-to-point fiber, and VDSL2 with vectoring on a single platform. This provides unmatched flexibility for mixed-technology network migrations .

- Carrier-Grade Redundancy: Features full NT redundancy with Active/Active load-sharing capabilities. Supports advanced resiliency protocols including MPLS, Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) (G.8032), and Link Aggregation Groups (LAG) .

- Advanced Traffic Management: Full IPv4 and IPv6 support, robust IGMP for multicast video delivery, and sophisticated Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms ensure premium service delivery for IPTV, high-speed data, and business services .

- Future-Proof Evolution: The platform is designed for a smooth evolution to next-generation PON technologies, such as TWDM-PON, protecting initial investments and enabling a seamless capacity upgrade path .

- Integrated Management: Fully manageable by the Nokia 5520 Access Management System (AMS) and the 5529 Access Provisioning Center (APC), simplifying operations and provisioning .
