The Nortel NTBP21EC is an E1 Function Processor for the Nortel Passport multiservice switching platform, part of the same function-processor hardware family as this catalogue’s other Passport ATM and DS3 cards. It provides E1 (2.048Mbps) trunk or access interfaces for a Passport shelf, letting the platform terminate European-standard digital circuits for ATM or frame traffic aggregation. Passport switches remain deployed at a number of established carrier and enterprise sites, and genuine function processors such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining full E1 port capacity. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies Passport hardware to support ongoing network maintenance. Confirm exact shelf and firmware compatibility before ordering.
