High-density Carrier Ethernet service delivery and transport module
increases scalable reliability for cloud, mobile and video applications
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 20, 2013--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation
networking solutions, today announced a significant expansion of its
award-winning Optical Networking Edge (ONE) solution. The new single
slot Carrier Ethernet module supports 8x10GE optical transport with
Ethernet switching, and enables efficient, high-capacity access/edge to
the metro core interconnect. The new module also expands the service
delivery, aggregation and transport capacity of the Total Access®
5000, a 21 usable slot system, to more than 200Gbps per slot. This gives
service providers an increased level of scalable reliability to more
effectively respond to the demand for premium services.
With enterprise customers migrating to cloud services, mobile networks
consuming more IP data than voice, and residential customers watching
unprecedented quantities of videos online, the need for bandwidth
continues to explode. As a result, access and edge networks are now
required to scale from 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps to multiple 10Gbps with an easy
path for future upgrades to 100Gbps. ADTRAN’s ONE solution suite
integrates a right-sized packet optical solution with Broadband Access
and Carrier Ethernet service delivery enabling seamless networking from
access to core via wavelength, OTN or MEF-compliant Carrier Ethernet
switching. This allows service providers the ability to quickly and
cost-effectively deploy the premium services demanded by enterprise and
residential customers regardless of the associated bandwidth
requirements.
The new module, the Ethernet Transport Optical Switch (ETOS-10), is
built upon the highly successful 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) service centric
ETOS-1 and continues to deliver carrier-grade redundancy and protection
for various applications. The primary features and benefits are as
follows:
-
Expanded premium services scalability supporting the rollout of 10Gbps
enterprise and datacenter services, 1Gbps 4G/LTE mobile backhaul
services and 100Mbps residential broadband services delivery.
-
Reduced time-to-revenue via the increased network simplicity gained
from the support of end-to-end multi-ring, mesh and subtended 10GE
access rings topologies.
-
Increased quality of experience via reduced network latency and
integrated advanced service level assurance (SLA) and services
management toolset.
“From the start, ADTRAN’s ONE solution has been designed to reduce the
complexity of packet optical networking to help service providers
increase flexibility and simplify operations in order to accelerate
next-generation service delivery for their customers,” said Mano Nachum,
packet optical networking product line manager, ADTRAN’s Carrier
Networks Division. “The addition of the ETOS-10 is another significant
step ahead that establishes first to market leadership in delivering
higher capacity, multi-10Gbps Packet Optical Ethernet integrated with
multi-services access and aggregation in a right-sized package.”
