Transmode revolutionizes large scale optical access with new iAccess solution
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden and WDM & Next Generation Optical Networking, Monaco - 18(th)
June 2013 - Transmode, a global supplier of packet-optical networking solutions,
today announced the availability of the company's new iAccess solution that
revolutionizes the way service providers can roll out Ethernet access networks
for applications such as Business Ethernet and Mobile Backhaul services.
The new iAccess solution combines a range of Transmode's capabilities into a new
solution that enables network operators to roll out highly scalable and cost
effective Ethernet access networks for a range of applications. Existing
Ethernet access solutions are either derived from more complex optical access
solutions or are based on simple residential solutions. This leaves a gap for
many applications where the solutions available are either too expensive or too
limited in functionality.
Transmode's iAccess solution combines a new compact low cost Network Interface
Device (NID) with the company's iWDM-PON and Enlighten(TM) multi-layer
management suite to provide a low cost, simple to install/configure/manage and
highly scalable solution. The solution uses a "remote port" architecture which
makes all NIDs into extensions of the Ethernet Muxponder that they are connected
to.
With the remote port architecture the NID automatically takes device and service
configuration from the network when it is connected. This removes the need for a
separate IP address for each NID, saving these valuable and sometimes scarce
resources. Coupled with the colorless optical layer through the WDM-PON optics,
iAccess creates a highly automated, simple to operate and scalable solution.
The new solution is ideally suited to Ethernet based services that need to scale
to large volumes or where simplicity is key. Installation procedures are quick
and simple and Enlighten allows operators to create service templates to speed
up deployment of multiple identical or similar services. All of which minimizes
OPEX costs in addition to the lower initial CAPEX costs.
Business Ethernet services and mobile backhaul to both macro and small cells are
both example applications that can greatly benefit from the features of the
iAccess solution. Low cost with low space and power consumption makes the NID
ideal in these applications and the operational advantages of the overall
solution are very beneficial to these services as they scale to large volumes,
often with repetitive service profiles.
Sten Nordell, Transmode's Chief Technology Officer, said "The new iAccess
solution is a great step forward in terms of simplifying and scaling Ethernet
access networks while also enabling network operators to hit the right price
points for these high volume services. We have created a real plug-and-play
solution where the WDM-PON enabled NID is simply connected to the access fiber,
powered up and then services are automatically created. This enables operators
to quickly roll out new services with the right level of carrier class
functionality such as MEF Carrier Ethernet 2.0 services."
The new hardware is complimented by the Enlighten multi-layer management suite,
including the Transmode Network Manager (TMN) and the Enlighten Portal. The
Enlighten Portal allows operators to provide their end customers with a portal
that gives them direct access to monitor their own services.
