| Corrigent Releases New Packet Transport Switch Product Line Corrigent Systems has announced the release of the CM-4000 Packet Transport Switch series, a new line of advanced transport products designed to provide highly scalable end-to-end delivery of packet and TDM services over a single, converged transport infrastructure. This new product line builds on Corrigent's industry-leading packet transport technology and is designed to provide a universal transport solution, capable of delivering any traffic mix, from 100% circuit-based TDM to 100% Ethernet services with high cost efficiency. The CM-4000 PTS, which includes the CM-4314 and CM-4206, provides full non-blocking switching capacity of 320Gbps and 160Gbps respectively, scalable to 640Gbps and 320Gbps. It provides unmatched in-service scalability through the introduction of advanced bonding technologies, which allow network operators to scale network links to up to 100Gbps per link. The CM-4000 PTS facilitates the migration towards all-IP by providing network operators with a viable path to convergence through the introduction of SONET/SDH-to-Ethernet interworking, and high-port-density Ethernet interfaces. While still providing full support for circuit-based TDM services and applications, the CM-4000 enables service providers to cost-effectively offer standards-compliant E-Line, E-LAN and E-TREE Ethernet services. This facilitates the delivery of profitable advanced IP services such as residential Triple Play, business Ethernet and the backhaul of 3G and 3.5G wireless and WiMax services over a single, converged packet transport infrastructure. The CM-4000 PTS also offers a unique application and service-aware traffic management scheme, which guarantees end-to-end performance during congestion, and enables dynamic bandwidth reclamation and optimal bandwidth utilization at all times. With the CM-4000, service providers can guarantee end-to-end performance for their services, but also differentiate between application instances, effectively allowing carriers to benefit from higher margins on preferred services and overcoming net neutrality. Corrigent is unveiling the CM-4000 PTS product line simultaneously this week at two leading telecommunications events: the C5 World Forum in Milan, Italy and at the OFC/NFOEC exhibition in Anaheim, California. The CM-4000 PTS product line addresses service providers' challenges in building carrier-class, general-purpose metro transport networks. Among the many benefits the CM-4000 offers are: • In-service scalability of network-side links of up to 100Gbps through advanced link bonding technologies; • Universal packet transport of any combination of TDM and packet traffic, from 100% TDM to 100% Ethernet; • Fully non-blocking switching capacity of 320Gbps scalable to 640Gbps; • Support for the complete range of PDH, SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel and Ethernet interfaces; • Advanced TDM-to-Ethernet interworking functions on high-density, multi-service SONET/SDH and PDH interfaces; • Application and service-aware traffic management to overcome net neutrality, allowing carriers to benefit from higher margins on preferred services; • Multi-rate and Multi-protocol configurable interfaces for quick and flexible service activation; • Colored optics and OTN interfaces, for cost-effective integration with the photonic network; • Transport-class availability with guaranteed sub-50ms service recovery over any topology; • Hierarchical, fully-correlated, multi-layer OAM, providing transport-class performance monitoring, diagnostics and troubleshooting functionality. The capabilities of the CM-4000 PTS translate into clear business advantages for service providers offering or looking to offer the following end-user applications: • Residential Triple Play services (VoIP, Video and Internet Access); • Business Ethernet, including point to point and multipoint Ethernet services; • 3/3.5G wireless and WiMax backhaul; • Peer-to-peer and on-demand content distribution. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
