Gridcom DXC Family

Access and Transmission Multiplexer

Reliable and fast communication is vital for continuous operation of power delivery systems and mission-critical operational services. GE Vernova’s Gridcom DXC suite of products offer hybrid platforms to enable aggregation and transport of all operational services over optical fibers.

For many years now, telecommunication networks have been undergoing significant changes. Increased bandwidth requirements and a large variety of services to be transported have led to much more versatile but also complex access and transmission equipment, adapted for the next generation of networks.

Gridcom DXC/eDXC/DXC-S is more than a conventional access and transmission platform, and is based on a modular and evolutive configuration platform. The range of Gridcom DXC/eDXC interfaces cover all needs from conventional (FXO, FXS, 2/4W E&M, RS232, V.35, V.36, X.21, RS485, 64 k G.703) to more sophisticated configurations oriented toward new data network architectures such as Ethernet, IP and MPLS-TP. Gridcom DXC/eDXC also includes a standard C37.94 interface to interconnect protection and teleprotection devices through optical fibre, G.703 Co-directional and 1/0 dry contact alarms.

GE Vernova Gridcom DXC-H is a multi-technology platform supporting legacy interfaces, PDH, SDH, SONET, MPLS-TP and Carrier Ethernet. It provides 400Gbps switching capacity, improved latency time for critical applications through MPLS-TP, transmission of up to 100Gbps, data encryption, and different protection schemes including hitless.
