Transmode unveils further Native Packet Optical products for cost efficient Ethernet transport
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CommunicAsia, Singapore and Stockholm, Sweden - 15th June 2010 - Transmode
today announced the availability of two new integrated Layer 2 Ethernet products
that address Native Packet Optical
as mobile backhaul, video distribution and business Ethernet services.
Native Packet Optical transport is an architecture that is ideally suited to the
edge of an optical network as it keeps the traffic payload as standard native
Ethernet frames. This provides the operator with better visibility and
manageability of Layer-2 traffic, better aggregation of traffic to "Fill The
Pipes" prior to hand over to an OTN core, and, of course, it lowers the cost of
Packet Optical integration at the edge of the optical network.
Transmode's range of Layer 2 Ethernet products form an integral part of the
Native Packet Optical approach and this range has now been expanded with two new
components. Firstly a second- generation version of the Layer 2 Ethernet
Muxponder (EMXP), the EMXP II, which includes increased processing power and
support for a wider range of Layer 2 features and secondly the introduction of
2 and 5 port Ethernet Demarcation Units (EDU).
Both solutions are available in the TM-Series Release 15 that becomes
commercially available in June 2010 and are already shipping to customers in the
US and Europe.
"The Native Packet Optical approach offers considerable advantages to network
operators," said Sten Nordell, Chief Technology Officer at Transmode. "Using
components based on standard Ethernet transport these operators can build
simplified integrated Layer 1 and 2 networks that provide better service
visibility, better metro aggregation and better OAM, at the lowest possible
cost. These new components in Release 15 are proving to be very popular and mark
a milestone in the roll out of Native Packet Optical networks."
The enhanced EMXP II is focused on Transport Ethernet which provides Layer 2
Ethernet service provisioning and aggregation for transport applications with
extremely low sub 2 micro second latency and virtually zero jitter. This makes
the unit ideally suited to Ethernet applications where latency and jitter are
important, such as services for financial institutions, video distribution and
LTE backhaul.
The EMXP II is available in 2 variants with 2 10G Ethernet ports and either 10
or 22 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The unit supports a broad range of Ethernet
functionality including MEF E-LINE, E-LAN and E-TREE services with
differentiated class of service and bandwidth profiles, and 802.1ag and Y.1731
service OAM. Furthermore all ports support Synchronous Ethernet, G.8032 Ethernet
Ring Protection, 802.3ad Link Aggregation and port mirroring.
The compact 2 and 5 port EDUs are ideally suited to customer premise
applications and provide industry leading Ethernet demarcation functionality.
Using a unique approach with hardware processing of high priority traffic, the
EDUs ensure the lowest possible latency and jitter, again making the units ideal
for low latency and jitter applications. The range includes units that provide
either demarcation of a single Gigabit Ethernet client signal or aggregation of
up to 4 client signals onto a Gigabit Ethernet line within the compact CPE
device.
The units' advanced functionality includes service mapping which allows
providers to quickly create Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVCs) for MEF Certified
E-Line, E-LAN, and E-Tree services. Services can be mapped with advanced
bandwidth policies that establish committed and excess throughput and burst
rates (CIR, EIR, EBS, CBS), as well as defined Ethernet & IP service priorities.
Furthermore as the hardware based units they can maintain up to 100 Y.1731 &
802.1ag OAM sessions per unit, enabling highly accurate and precise OAM
Performance Monitoring for large-scale wireless backhaul and business service
applications.
