網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備 NEBS 認(rèn)證 | 

MET憑著25余年的NEBS測試經(jīng)驗，已經(jīng)成為北美NEBS測試服務(wù)的權(quán)威

NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System)是電信行業(yè)專業(yè)術(shù)語，表示網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備構(gòu)建系統(tǒng)。NEBS 的歷史可以追溯到70年代，當(dāng)時它由貝爾實驗室開發(fā)，被用于標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化被最終安裝到中心局的設(shè)備。其目的是讓設(shè)備商更容易地設(shè)計兼容于典型本地貝爾運營公司的設(shè)備。標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化導(dǎo)致開發(fā)費用的降低和更容易將新設(shè)備引進(jìn)到網(wǎng)絡(luò)中。

NEBS認(rèn)證標(biāo)準(zhǔn)分為三種級別，每個級別有自己的目標(biāo)和用途，但第3級確保最大的設(shè)備可操作性，用于關(guān)鍵網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備。 X335和x343提供符合NEBS 第3級標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的產(chǎn)品。

• NEBS第1級是指設(shè)備通過了確保網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備中安全部署的一系列最小測試。
• NEBS第2級提供網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備中設(shè)備可操作性的有限保證。
• NEBS第3級（最苛刻的 “壓力”測試） 提供網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備中設(shè)備可操作性的最大保證。

當(dāng)通訊產(chǎn)品需要銷往北美市場，NEBS則是買家及運營商要求的認(rèn)證標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

What is NEBS?

NEBS stands for "Network Equipment Building System"

NEBS describes the environment of a typical Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) Central Office (CO). This description includes Electromagnetic, Electrical Safety and Environmental criteria.

NEBS was developed by Bell Labs back in the 1970s to standardize equipment that would eventually be installed in a CO. The intent was to make it easier for a vendor to design equipment compatible with a typical RBOC CO. This would result in lower development costs and ease the equipments introduction into the network.

Equipment deployed in the network needs to be safe, reliable, and easy to deploy. The NEBS standards provide uniform criteria for equipment design intended to reduce the cost of deployment and maintain reliability and integrity of the network.

NEBS Documents

They consist of two standards:

1. GR-63-CORE, Issue 3, March 2006: Network Equipment Building Systems – Physical Protection

2. GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4, June 2006: Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety - Generic Criteria for Network Telecommunications Equipment

NEBS Levels

Bellcore special report, SR-3580 details 3 distinct functional levels of NEBS compliance based on GR-63-CORE and GR-1089-CORE. The levels allow a wide range of NEBS requirements to be applied to equipment based on application and network impact.

NEBS Level 1 The minimum acceptable level of environmental compatibility needed to preclude hazards and degradation of the network facility and hazards to personnel.

Possible applications for Level 1 criteria include prototype equipment for trial, limited deployment of equipment used for non-vital services, and Competitive Access Provider collocated equipment.

NEBS Level 2 The minimum level of environmental compatibility needed to provide limited assurance of equipment operability within the network facility environment. This assurance of operability is limited to controlled or normal environments by the criteria.

Possible applications for Level 2 criteria include equipment deployed in highly controlled environments such as data centers or deployments of equipment performing non-critical network service where loss of equipment operation under environmental extremes can be tolerated.

Note that this level is very rarely used because it is ambiguous. In fact, MET has never had a request or quoted to this level

NEBS Level 3 The minimum level of environmental compatibility needed to provide maximum assurance of equipment operability within the network facility environment. The Level 3 criteria provide the highest assurance of product operability. Level 3 criteria are suited for equipment applications that demand minimal service interruptions over the equipment’s life.

Possible applications for the Level 3 criteria include critical network equipment such as digital switches, transport products, and power systems.

In a nutshell, the equipment meets all of the requirements of GR-63-CORE and GR-1089-CORE.

NEBS Levels and the RBOCs

Verizon and AT&T do not follow the SR-3580 NEBS Levels. They use their own NEBS documents to describe their requirements that details what they believe are important to their networks integrity. Typically it is NEBS Level III in addition to their specific requirements that go above and beyond Level III.

Who are the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs)?

There were originally 7 RBOCs, which were formed from the 1984 breakup of AT&T. Today there are only 3:

（1）Qwest - created by the merger of US West and Qwest Communications International, Inc.
（2）AT&T - created by the merger of SBC, Ameritech, and Pacific Telesis, AT&T, and Bell South.
（3）Verizon - created by the merger of Bell Atlantic, Nynex, and GTE.

The Future of NEBS

NEBS requirements are the most widely used equipment design standards. They are highly specialized for the needs of the service providers, and have provided for robust and efficient equipment deployments for nearly 30 years.

It is unlikely that the need for NEBS requirements and testing will ever go away. The benefits in terms of performance, safety, and reliability far outweigh the cost of compliance. As long as electricity and electronics are the building blocks of telecommunication networks, EMC, Environmental and safety requirements will remain as important as ever!
