MultiService Access and Backbone Solution
For Utilities and Telecom Operators
SparkLight is a compact, powerful, high-
density and user-friendly, next generation
SDH multiservice node for provisioning of
PCM (voice, data), PDH (E1, E3), SDH (STM-
1, STM-4, STM-16) and Ethernet (FE, GbE)
over SDH/xWDM.

"Not true" is the tag for which experienced stubborn
engineers fully have the right to attach to the wide spread
hype that "IP communications have wiped out everything
else". We at Iskra are deeply involved in IP solutions as well
as in traditional industrial environments. Therefore we
know very well in which cases off the shelf IP technology
can replace traditional synchronous communications
and in which cases it simply can not.
Whenever it comes voice, video and data transmission
along gas pipes in Siberian ice, optical systems along
railway tracks, industrial process control, public utilities'
networks, reliable microwave rings, "99.999%" operators'
networks, nuclear power plant control, and similar, we
have an answer ready.
Without compromising the industrial reliability we are
known for, we are adapting to the requirements of the
changing times. We cover the full range from E1, E3, STM-
1, STM-4, STM-16, 10/100/1000 Ethernet to xWDM; Though
synchronous, the platforms boast full linux operating
system onboard, advanced web based management
tools, even Engineering Order Wire SIP VoIP inband
telephony with advanced distributed soft-switch
redundancy algorithms.
SparkLight enables service providers to offer reliable,
high performance, high-speed communications
services such as LAN interconnection, Internet access,
voice & data services, etc.
Various interfaces, many optional tributary modules and
a high capacity cross-connect matrix capacity give an
opportunity to set up effective multi-service
communication node.
Integrated Ethernet L2 switch enables point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint LAN traffic with traffic protection (on
SDH or L2 switch level).
The management system with Java Web Start user
interface, SNMP agent and OSPF router is built in.
Consequently noadditional software except a PC with a
web browser is needed to set up the telemanagement
system.
