| RAD Participates in Multi-Vendor Interoperability Demonstration of Inter-Carrier MPLS Services at MPLS World Congress 2007 RAD Data Communications is participating in a test event that demonstrates multi-vendor interoperability for advanced MPLS-based services in a resilient and scalable scenario in which IP, Ethernet, ATM and TDM services are being transported across an inter-carrier backbone. Organized by the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL), the event is being held at the MPLS World Congress 2007 in Paris through February 9. RAD is one of thirteen vendors whose setup features more than 35 devices. The multi-vendor test network demonstrates support of IPTV, mobile backhaul and business applications. The public showcase in Paris highlights RAD's focus on ATM, TDM, pseudowires, fault management and high-availability access solutions. RAD Data pioneered the development of pseudowire solutions for transporting legacy traffic over IP, Ethernet and MPLS packet-switched networks, having first introduced its patented and recently standardized TDMoIP technology to the market in 1999. In the years since, RAD has added support for all additional modes of TDM emulation technology, including SAToP, CESoPSN and HDLCoPSN, and has led the way in implementing TDM and ATM pseudowires in the access. At the showcase RAD is demonstrating dynamic configuration TDM pseudowires using LDP signaling. In addition, RAD is demonstrating ATM pseudowire interoperability with another vendor across a multi-vendor backbone. The German service providers T-Systems and Versatel reviewed the test plan and provided on-site support during the hot-stage test at the EANTC lab in Berlin. In addition to RAD, participants include Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, Foundry Networks, Huawei Technologies, Ixia, MRV Communications, Redback Networks, Rohde & Schwarz SIT, Siemens, Spirent, Telco Systems, and ZTE. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
