Each GranDSLAM 4200IP has 24 DSL ports and can be stacked to eight units using a single aggregated uplink for 192 users. This means that a service provider can purchase a single unit to start their deployment and reduce their initial capital expense. Then as additional customers are brought online additional GranDSLAM 4200IP units can be purchased and connected to the currently deployed unit reducing the need to add additional network connections. This means it is now cost effective to serve customers even in low-density regions.

The GranDSLAM 4200IP supports multiple uplink types. The GranDSLAM 4200IP comes equipped a 10/100/1000baseT uplink for low cost deployment where bandwidth is not as crucial. It also supports Gigabit Ethernet (both copper and fiber) providing enough bandwidth to support at least three high quality video streams. Using any of the uplink types it is also possible to stack the GranDSLAM 4200IP units and aggregate multiple units over a common network connection. The 4200IP will also support additional uplink types in the future such as T1/E1 MLPPP.

The GranDSLAM 4200IP/4300RC contains all the processing capability to deliver a minimum of three video streams to the customer premises and the protocol support required to deliver it efficiently. Paradyne has gone the extra mile to ensure a successful video deployment for the service provider by adding features such as IGMP Snooping, IGMP Proxy and Quick Channel tm . These features reduce network traffic, and ensure quick, crisp channel changes. In addition the DSLAMs include the latest in ADSL technology ADSL2 and ADSL2+ providing up to 28Mbps to the customer premises.

The GranDSLAM family all include internal POTS splitters both in the 1U DSLAM the GranDSLAM 4200IP and the GranDSLAM 4300RC providing multiple ways to get DSLAMs into remote locations which have traditionally not been feasible to install DSL in the past. The DSLAMs are small and temperature hardened. This allows the GranDSLAM 4200IP to be deployed in remote cabinets where space is a premium and where temperatures exceed typical central office environments.

The GranDSLAM 4200 has been deployed into ATM networks worldwide. Now, with the addition of the GranDSLAM 4200IP Ethernet-based DSLAM, it can also be deployed into Ethernet networks worldwide. This enables service providers to deploy voice, video and data regardless of whether their network supports ATM or Ethernet. The GranDSLAM 4200 family has DSLAMs for both cell-based and packet-based networks supporting ReachDSL and ADSL technology.
