Ominstar® GX2
Optical Broadband Transmission Platform
The OmniStar GX2 provides increased module density, while continuing the OmniStar legacy of scalability,
performance and flexibility. The four rack-unit chassis accepts up to 16 plug-n-play application modules minimizing
headend space requirements. With superior 1310nm and 1550nm products, the OmniStar GX2 enables operators
to offer more revenue-generating services.
The universal platform and full complement of application modules can
accommodate any system architecture. Enhanced with PowerPC®
technology provided by Motorola, this next generation broadband
platform brings newfound intelligence to traditional headend equipment.
The high-performance chip which is used in today’s luxury automobiles
to enable in-car networking, is the foundation of this denser, smarter,
and more efficient design.
• High Module Density: Up to 16 application modules in a four rack-unit chassis provides 2.5 times the
density of the previous OmniStar platform
• Intelligence: Contains high-performance PowerPC® microcontroller provided by Motorola
• Flexibility: The universal chassis and full-complement of application modules accommodates any system
architecture
• Quick-Swap Capability: Replacement modules are recognized and updated with settings pre-stored by the
Control Module
• User-Friendly browser-style local interface and downloadable firmware
• Redundant AC and/or DC powering options, even with 16 application modules
• Open Interface: Network Management interface supporting SNMP via Ethernet port
• Plug-n-Play application modules with blind-mate RF connectors in the rear
• Energy Efficient: Designed with advanced integrated circuits for low power consumption
• Local Status Monitoring and Control with optional shelf door and alphanumeric display
Ordering Information
