The Nortel NTHW08BA is a Control Processor (CP3) module for the Multiservice Switch (MSS) 15000, built around a PowerPC processor with an E1 BITS timing input for synchronising the shelf to an external clock reference. It is the compute and control card for the MSS 15000 chassis, coordinating the function processor cards fitted around it, in the same NTHW-prefix family as the MSS 15000’s confirmed DS3 Channelized CES module elsewhere in this catalogue. Revision (CP3 versus earlier CP generations) matters for feature and capacity support, so confirm the exact processor generation your shelf is running before ordering a replacement. The MSS 15000 was Nortel’s carrier-class multiservice switching platform and a number remain in service on legacy data networks. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) holds Nortel equipment for maintenance and expansion projects. Please contact our sales team for availability, condition and pricing.
