Headend Optics Platform
Solution Overview
FEATURES
• High density optical platform with up to 16 transmitters
or 64 receivers per chassis for headend space optimization
• Full spectrum multiwavelength capabilities for harvesting new
bandwidth through node segmentation
• Support multiple optical architectures including full spectrum,
overlay, and RFoG
• Blind mate chassis interface for ease of installation and
maintenance
• Integrated shelf display for local chassis set‐up and configuration
• Redundant powering capability is enabled without reducing
transmitter/receiver densities
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
The OmniStar® GX2, one of the world’s most widely deployed optical platforms, provides superior module density, while continuing
the OmniStar legacy of scalability, superior performance and flexibility, and operational simplicity. The four rack‐unit chassis accepts
up to 16 hot‐ swappable application modules, minimizing headend space requirements. With superior 1310 nm and 1550 nm full
spectrum multiwavelength solutions, the OmniStar GX2 enables operators the ability to offer advanced, revenue‐generating voice,
video, and data services. The universal platform and full complement of application modules can accommodate a full spectrum,
overlay, RFoG, and other variety of system architectures.

Ease of Operation
The OmniStar® GX2 design balances density with ease of use. The control module is located in the front for easy access to its
Ethernet port for use by a local laptop for configuration. This design does not impact the maximum number of application
modules of 16 that can be installed in a chassis. The configurable RF backplane provides flexibility for different connector types
while maintaining blind mate capability for reduced installation and maintenance times. Field‐replaceable fans are located in the
rear of the chassis, and convenient RF test points are located on the front of each module. With these features, the GX2 is
engineered to maximize in‐service time. Installing the plug and play modules is easy with blind mate RF connectors at the rear and
optical connectors at the front. When replacing modules, the unique Quick‐Swap feature automatically configures the new
module using the settings from the previous module.
Simplified Management
The GX2 allows operators to add new application modules seamlessly without having to upgrade the control module. Operators
can download and upgrade firmware while the module remains in operation, without having to change hardware. Several
communication methods are available for real‐time system monitoring and control. A three‐colored LED on each module indicates
the general operating status. The optional shelf door unit, which includes an alphanumeric display, provides monitoring and
control with simple, push‐button navigation. Finally, a laptop interface is available through an Ethernet port on the front of the
control module. Using a standard web browser, the Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides a point‐and‐click method of
configuring the shelf for maximum ease of configuration. For higher‐level management, the operators can easily connect GX2 to a
remote Network Management System using the standard Ethernet SNMP interface. All specific module information (firmware,
bitmaps, menu structure, etc.) are stored in non‐volatile memory.
Add Value to Existing Assets
A large installed base of the GX2 Optics Platform allows for seamless transition to any GX2 application modules, because
backward compatibility is a prime design requirement. The addition of new multiwavelength transmitters into the GX2 portfolio
enables operators to maximize their installed fiber assets by multiplying the number of customers that can be serviced for more
voice, video, and data services revenues.
