Fast Growing, Big Market, Great Opportunity (Brochure)
Worldwide Ethernet equipment and services businesses are expected to continue to grow at double digit rate. Great opportunity exists to participate in this growth.
Today’s Challenge
Ethernet Services are costly, complex, and inefficient to implement. Ethernet Services are transported over several expensive and complicated network technologies which introduce several overlay layers of encapsulation and overhead inefficiencies.
Service Providers are forced to overlay because no one network layer supports all the features they need. Service Providers use OTN/SDH/SONET for its reliability, circuit control, and fault management. MPLS for its scalability, and because it is protocol agnostic on both sides of the layer, with convergence to IP and Ethernet this advantage will be eliminated.
95% of all traffic is Ethernet based. Service Providers want to migrate to native Ethernet transport network to lower costs and simplify their network but cannot do so because Ethernet is not reliable, scalable, and flexible.
Tomorrow’s Solution
Transport Ethernet enhances standard Ethernet to eliminate overlays, simplify network, and lower costs. Transport Ethernet solution lowers TCO by 60%-40% of MPLS, VPLS, and MPLS-TP solutions[Network Strategy Partners business case studies].
Transport Ethernet Switch innovation takes the best of each overlay layers and converges them into standard Ethernet. These simple innovations eliminate the need to maintain several layers of costly, complex, and inefficient overlays and technologies. Migrating to native end-to-end Ethernet transport network removes the need for MPLS LSRs, SDH/SONET/OTN XCs, and ADMs products, and use one Transport Ethernet Switch product.
Transport Ethernet innovations provide flexible multilink circuits, scalable wide area control plane learning, scalable event based SONET level APS Protection and style OAMP Operations for improved reliability and fault management, reuse of SONET technology, groomed connectivity, VLAN registrations, and Multicast pruning, to provide a superior solution compared to existing standard Ethernet PBB(-TE), MPLS(-TP), and SDH/SONET/OTN/P-OTN technologies.
