The Nortel NTNQ73BA is a 32-port channelized E1 Function Processor with dual OC-3 single-mode uplinks, part of the NTNQ-prefixed function-processor family used on the Passport/MSS multiservice switching platform. It terminates 32 channelized E1 tributaries and grooms their traffic onto the shelf’s dual OC-3 optical uplinks, sitting alongside the other NTNQ-family control-processor and interface cards already established in this catalogue’s Passport/MSS range. Passport/MSS shelves of this generation remain in service in a number of established carrier networks, and genuine function-processor spares are a routine requirement for maintaining full E1 aggregation capacity or restoring redundancy after a card failure. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel Passport/MSS cards to support ongoing network maintenance. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
