Assurance Sensor GT-GT-S, LT-S, and LX-S

Overview of Assurance Sensor LT-S

The Cisco® Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor LT-S (formerly Accedian Skylight LT-S Performance Element) is a dense, multiport, 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet platform with ultra-low-latency packet forwarding and jitter. Designed for high-availability applications requiring MEF-type service assurance, the Assurance Sensor LT-S is optimized for scalable service delivery and high-precision performance monitoring. It is an ideal edge, aggregation, or external network-to-network interface (ENNI) unit for demanding wireless backhaul, SLA-backed business services, Ethernet wholesale, and dark fiber termination applications. Switch-free aggregation offers near-zero-latency multiservice for multitenant and multioperation endpoints.

The LT-S provides all the tools to establish, validate, and monitor Layer 2 and Layer 3 services in a single unit. It is a flexible, scalable alternative to switches and routers when delivering resilient services over optical linear or G.8032 ring topologies. Zero-touch provisioning and IPv4/IPv6 management make the LT-S easy to deploy, manage, and secure.

Fully integrated with the Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance platform, the LT-S supports service delivery automation, scalable metrics collection, and reporting—along with actionable insights delivery and machine learning for accelerated service rollout and improved operational efficiencies.

The LT-S interoperates with other Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensors to deliver a scalable end-to-end and core-to-edge performance-assured networking solution tailored to your applications.

Overview of Assurance Sensor LX-S

The Cisco® Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor LX-S (formerly Accedian Skylight LX-S Performance Element) is a compact, 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (1/10GE) platform with ultra-low-latency packet forwarding and jitter. Designed for high-availability applications requiring MEF-type service assurance, the Assurance Sensor LX-S is optimized for scalable service delivery and performance monitoring. Its design is ideal for deployment in space-constrained environments for mobile backhaul and business Ethernet applications.

The LX-S provides all the tools to establish, validate, and monitor Layer 2 and Layer 3 services in a single, small footprint. It is a flexible, scalable alternative to switches and routers when delivering resilient services over optical linear or ring topologies. Zero-touch provisioning and IPv4/IPv6 management support make the LX-S easy to deploy, manage, and secure.

Fully integrated with the Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance platform, the LX-S supports service delivery automation, scalable metrics collection, and reporting—along with actionable insights delivery and machine learning for accelerated service roll-out and improved operational efficiencies.
