JPAX family is a purpose-built communications solution specifically designed for utility operations, providing the required security and dependability through layers of redundancy. The platform is based on MPLS-TP (Multi-protocol Label Switching with Transport Profile) technology that maintains deterministic performance through packet based communications providing utilities with increased efficiency and ease of integration.
Both JunglePAX 10G WAN ports (1 & 2) now optionally support standard MPLS mode in addition to Hybrid mode as a user configurable option. Additionally, two out of four 1G WAN ports (4 & 6) now operate in standard MPLS mode (not user-configurable).
Use of standard MPLS mode allows for interoperability with foreign MPLS equipment and Ethernet microwave radio devices. Note that foreign MPLS and Ethernet radio devices generally don’t support the IEEE 802.3ae standard, which is used by JunglePAX as a basis for hybrid mode implementation. The 1G WAN ports 3 and 5 continue to support Hybrid mode only. Use of Hybrid mode continues to be advantageous in standalone JPAX network applications as it allows native, non-packetized TDM services and MPLS services to coexist on the same fiber.
The WAN ports in standard MPLS mode allows for tunneling JunglePAX NMS information through foreign packet-based devices/networks to ensure that all JunglePAX nodes are visible regardless of whether they are optically connected to each other or via foreign packet-based devices/network.
Introducing the xTDM Access Card for the JunglePAX Hybrid Packet & TDM platform that offers the best of both worlds. This add-on unit offers the flexibility to support both native TDM over Hybrid WAN ports as well as emulated T1/E1 signals over MPLS, making it extremely flexible for all customer applications.
This release also allows for establishing packetized point-to-point Nx64k services between xTDM-8A cards T, or T1E1-4A/CBUS-4A ports at the far end. Point-to-point Nx64k services between local xTDM-8A card and JIF-Share/CMUX/CDAX card residing at remote JMUX/TN1U/TN1Ue nodes are also supported via Evolution units.
The xTDM Access Card key features:
GE Vernova’s new Evolution Module (B86900-01) enables migration to MPLS ring-by-ring or node-by-node AND offering an upgrade opportunity to modernize hardware while preserving highly dependable SONET/SDH delay performance for critical services through deployment of JunglePAX Hybrid Mode. Evolution and Hybrid work together to ensure ongoing security and dependability across both SONET/SDH and MPLS planes.
1 Gigabit of Ethernet data can now be passed over the same 1G+ fiber link as SONET VT1.5 or SDH TU-1’s to enable full interoperability between JMUX/TN1U and JPAX.
GE Vernova's EnerVista INSIGHT Advanced NMS solution employs Smart Tile technology, replacing the existing Telenium Traffic Manager, to assist users build MPLS Tunnels, SONET/SDH VTU’s and Services. This approach employs a wizard-based engine that walks users through each of the unique build processes using a combination of maps, graphical services tools and optimizers to quickly achieve their desired outcomes.
Schedule a demonstration today to see the new GE Vernova EnerVista INSIGHT version 8.8.
Encryption of all MPLS traffic carried over the WAN is now supported. This is a licensed feature, allowing users to encrypt individual fiber optic segments on any of the 12 WAN JunglePAX ports. After enabling Encryption on both sides of a WAN link, public/private keys will automatically roll based on the administrator’s configuration (30 min to 200 hrs), or keys can be manually renewed on each segment via the Web User Interface.
The JunglePAX platform is designed for utilities with critical utility communications in mind. GE Vernova’s JPAX offers a truly converged solution with security and dependability for all applications whether they are critical Teleprotection circuits or for less time-sensitive business IT needs. Security and Dependability ensure data will be delivered and received on time when an actual data packet is sent, and data will not be falsely received when no data was sent. Both are key performance requirements to ensure utility communications reliably operate at all times. JunglePAX equipment is
JunglePAX Hybrid+ technology offers the best of both worlds by preserving SONET/SDH performance in a packet-switched network. This is achieved by adding an independent SONET/SDH layer alongside the MPLS-TP layer (without impacting its capacity) over the same optical WAN link. Use of this layer is optional and is intended for TDM-based relaying applications (C37.94, RS-232 Mirrored Bit, G.703 64k etc.) that are extremely delay sensitive.
Hybrid+ Technology found only in JunglePAX permits migration from SONET/SDH to Packet-transport technologies without compromising application performance, equipment reliability and network-wide availability.
Modernizing optical communications infrastructure without performance impact
What is Hybrid Transport Mode and why is it important?
Utilities are concerned about the impact on critical infrastructure and damage or injury associated with a fault condition on the transmission network. Teleprotection is a critical utility application that enables protection devices to communicate in a coordinated, reliable and expeditious way. Distance or directional comparison relays that send tripping signals require deterministic communications with low propagation delay edge (substation) to edge (substation), often as low as within 8ms. The faster the tripping signal can be transmitted across network, the quicker the dangerous energized state can be removed. Due to their importance, tripping signals cannot tolerate network disturbances affecting availability, capacity, physical communication failures, maintenance related outages or security vulnerabilities.
The JunglePAX platform has been designed for teleprotection applications with layers of redundancy to ensure there is no single point of weakness, industry leading protection switching within 3ms, and low end-to-end service latency within 1ms excluding propagation delay.
Below is a teleprotection application example, which walks through the sequence of events that the JunglePAX platform would perform to ensure that critical teleprotection circuits are delivered securely and dependably across the network.
The Lentronics JunglePAX is ideal for power utility operations and IT applications, supporting the following typical applications:
Critical Operational Traffic (OT)
Essential Operational Traffic (EOT)
Critical Information Traffic (CIT)
Essential Information Traffic (EIT)
1 - Transmission cable fault There is a transmission cable fault affecting the primary communication path
2 - Fault detected Fault is detected by the protection relay
3 - Tripping signal A tripping signal is sent to the JunglePAX platform
4 - Fault detected and transmitted The JunglePAX in Substation 1 detects the primary transmission path fault
5 - Teleprotection signal received The JunglePAX in Substation 2 detects the loss of the primary communications path and switches to the protected communications path within 3ms
6 - Protection action Protection relay initiates the action to clear the fault
The JunglePAX comprises of replaceable and hot swappable interface cards which ensure that the platform is easy to maintain. The flexible mix of client service cards provides utilities with a solution that addresses changing communications requirements.
* future release
IT and OT applications have traditionally operated independently over disparate networks, each serving the utility networking groups differently. IT and OT-centric applications can remain separated (i.e., metering from protection) although converged application can share the same space, generating opportunities for utilities to improve OPEX and CAPEX through elimination of redundancy and simplification initiatives.
More components within utility systems are becoming intelligent and requiring new communication connections and functions, generating demand for:
