| ECI Telecom Expands Optical Platform ECI Telecom has announced a standards-based solution for 10G LAN transport over DWDM. It enables a high level of functionality by adding Ethernet and IP over DWDM and Optical Transport Networks with full QoS support, without compromising either environment. Operators gain bandwidth performance for triple-play aggregation, business data services and IP backbone connectivity with guaranteed quality of service. More and more carriers worldwide embrace Optical Transport Networks as a universal infrastructure to carry next-generation Ethernet and IP services, as well as legacy SONET/SDH services, over high capacity and resilient WDM networks. However, ITU-T has yet to standardize the mapping of 10Gbps LAN to Optical Transport Networks. Compared to other solutions in the market, ECI's 10G LAN solution is unique in that it transparently maps full rate 10G LAN signals to full OTN line rate, without compromising the Ethernet transmission by not overriding important bytes and without limiting the effective rate. The 10G LAN transponder is another configuration provided by the XDM's unique universal base card that is used with the various platforms in the XDM family, targeting access, metro and long haul. This unique card design enables in-field configuration to support any service both at the line side and client side, rendering the XDM easy to deploy, operate and maintain. The 10G LAN card is part of the XDM's suite of next generation WDM capabilities, including full OTN mapping and multiplexing, multi-degree WSS ROADM, all-range reach from access to long haul and ease of operation, complemented by a state-of-the art wavelength management suite offered by the latest version (V3) of LightSoft Network Management System. The new 10G LAN card has already been successfully tested for interoperability with leading core IP routers. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
