‘Legacy’ Infrastructure Ongoing Maintenance 

Continuing in Keeping Customers Operational

Over the last nine years, @YellowsBestLtd has sought out new, surplus and refurbished products and spare parts to assist with the aim of supporting Customers to maintain rather than replace their infrastructure networks, and as we enter our landmark tenth year, we continue to do so.

The alternative of wholesale replacements requires prohibitive investment costs and long project timescales to implement. And it can be the case that suggested replacements cannot provide equivalent operational lifetimes which therefore become obsolete faster than existing deployments.

Given the investment that has been made over many years, coupled with the fact may operational requirements have not changed, it makes sense to keep systems in place. By suppling spares, offering repair services and technical assistance, we are able to support these aims.  

Systems Replacement and ‘Value Recovery’

Eventually, it does become necessary or desirable to undertake network refreshes. Often, we can help evaluate, source and implement suitable systems.

As discussed recently at the Engineering Design Show, we are able to utilise the capabilities of a network of local manufacturers to replicate and if necessary reverse-engineer components and products to meet exacting performance requirements.  

When replacing existing networks, we are able to offer to Remove, Resell and/or Recycle existing equipment, generating revenue from the ‘Value Recovery’, and importantly ensure that items are disposed of in the most ethical and environmentally respectful way.

Equipment recently supplied and/or currently stocked

Certain product families continue to prove their excellent availability and reliability, and we are fortunate to continue to be able to provide stock of many of these items, either in new, surplus or refurbished condition.

Examples of  such products follow; should there be anything specific you require, please do not hesitate to get in touch; we look forward to hearing from you!

‘Dynanet’ PDH Telecom Spares

Continuing in Operation, Still Available for Supply

The ‘Dynanet’ product family is a range of PDH telecommunications products first launched by Nokia over 20 years ago. This equipment has proven to be incredibly reliable and dependable, extensively deployed by Operators, Utilities and Transport companies to provide resilient and highly available transmission networks.   

A continuing challenge for public and private network owners is the ongoing maintenance of infrastructure systems to support their business needs. In many cases, it makes sense to continue to operate legacy systems which are still fulfilling unchanged requirements, rather than contemplate costly and time-consuming change-outs and replacements. 

Keeping Customers Operational

@YellowsBestLtd seeks out new products and legacy equipment spares to assist with these aims. Recent enquiries have been fulfilled supplying refurbished and surplus stocks of equipment cards, as well as built-to-order cables and connectors to suit exact requirements.

There follows a few examples of items we have recently supplied. Also, our more extensive Definitive ‘Dynanet’ spares list here provides details of many items still available from surplus and refurbished stock. We would welcome any enquiries for the supply of similar or alternative parts, or support services to provide hardware repairs. Please get in touch; we look forward to hearing from you!

Searching for NMS cables

Call out for any requirements for Network Management Systems cables

In addition to satisfying world-wide customer product sourcing requirements for current and ‘legacy’ equipment technologies, @YellowsBestLtd also seeks out peripheral items such as Network Management System (NMS) cables.

These items may be minor in nature and originally low-cost, but they are vital for continued use and configuration of transmission nodes via management systems which evolved way before modern wireless technologies and smart phone ‘app’ based tools. Such specialist cables are becoming increasingly hard to find, since once used and damaged, they are likely to be disposed of rather than refurbished, and no new replacements are being produced.

However, in the absence of surplus stocks, it is possible for us to arrange for the manufacture of specialist cabling products including those for NMS. Due to the particular nature of the connectors utilised, these have to be specially sourced, but the cable materials themselves can be specified and applied accordingly. However, it is the orginal design information that is most critical to obtain the right functionality and compatibility.

Whatever your requirements, if you are seeking equipment or cabling for new or legacy systems, then please let us know as we can usually assist. We look forward to hearing from you.

Searching for Keymile DUP14

Call out for any stocks of Keymile’s Dual Power Input Modules (DUPI4)

@YellowsBestLtd we satisfy world-wide customer product sourcing requirements for current and ‘legacy’ equipment technologies from a wide range of Original Equipment Manufacturers (O.E.M.s).

In particular, we have stocks of surplus and refurbished products from the Keymile UMUX range which we are able to supply to assist customers in maintaining their operational networks.

However, one item not in our stocks that is of immediate interest to several of our clients is the Dual Power Input Modules (DUPI4).

We are urgently seeking supply; if you can assist, please get in touch!

These items provide the ultimate power protection upgrade:

  • Unit centralises alarm functionality and power input control
  • Delivers built-in redundancy
  • Power protection for both sub rack and fan unit
  • Increased the VDC availability

The DUPI4 acts as a dual input power decoupler that selects between two independent VDC power feeds and delivers them directly to the sub rack’s power input. Thus, the DUPI4 ensures uninterrupted service delivery since the power feed change over is instantaneous.

‘Legacy’ telecoms history

The UMUX SDH product portfolio was originally launched 1991 by Ascom, which subsequently became Keymile. Keymile was sold to ABB in 2017 when the UMUX range was discontinued, and then was acquired in 2019 by DZS. 

Comprehensive Functionality

The UMUX platform provides carrier-grade reliable multi-service multiplexing and aggregation functions over copper and fibre networks. A variety of voice (POTS, FSX, FSO, ISDN) and data (e.g. G.703, V.11, V,24, V,35) interfaces, SHDSL and Ethernet (including PoE+ and EoS) services are available. 

The modular and flexible housing provided by the UMUX 1500 (8U, 21-slot) and UMUX 1200 (4U, 8-slot) 19” subracks provide the perfect solution for all applications and locations, offering redundant controller and power supplies.

Spares for continuing to provide operational service

The UMUX, together with the UNEM network management system and ‘sister’ LINERUNNER and MILEGATE products, continues to provide operational service with various global Operator, Utilities and Transport companies. 

@YellowsBestLtd supports requirements to maintain these networks by supplying various spare part items from refurbished and surplus stocks in perfect working order.  

The definitive ‘Dynanet’ spares list

Nokia ‘Dynanet’ PDH Transmission products

For many years, the ‘Dynanet’ family of PDH Transmission telecoms products have well served Public Operator and Private Network Customers across the Telecoms, Utilities, Transport and Public Safety markets with high availability mission critical infrastructure, and indeed some networks are continuing to provide good operational service.

They were first introduced by Nokia over 20 years ago, and were continued in recent years by DNWP. Production of the majority of the product range was ceased in 2019. 

Spare parts for continued operational service

@YellowsBestLtd satisfies world-wide customer product sourcing requirements for current and ‘legacy’ equipment technologies from a wide range of Original Equipment Manufacturers (O.E.M.s).

In particular, we are able to supply products from the ‘Dynanet’ range, given that we have a significant amount of refurbished and surplus equipment items in stock for immediate delivery. Hence there continues to be spares support for current and even increased deployed networks.

Comprehensive Stocklist of ‘Dynanet’ Spares

Whereas the ‘Dynanet’ family contained a wide range of products produced and supplied over many years, some of which are relatively obscure and unlikely to be needed, there are a number of core items that have proved to be always in demand by Customers. Consequently, we have endeavoured to create a comprehensive stock list, containing part numbers, product codes and descriptions and images which is presented here, and would welcome any enquiries you have for spares requirements that we can fulfil. If however, you are seeking something more unusual, then please let us know as we can usually assist. We look forward to hearing from you.
