Welcome to Extreme Networks Carrier Ethernet Transport Solutions Portal!
Rural, regional and global carriers around the world are facing increased competition for both residential and business subscribers. To differentiate themselves, many carriers are deploying Extreme Networks® Carrier Ethernet Transport solutions to enable an array of services that fulfill subscribers’ increasing expectations for an outstanding service experience.
Next-generation Ethernet Transport networks aggregate multiple services over a common infrastructure capable of supporting the explosive demand for high-performance services both today and tomorrow. Ethernet Transport enables carriers to gracefully expand residential triple-play offerings combining voice, Internet access, and video services such as high-definition IPTV and Video on Demand. Ethernet Transport enables carriers to offer business subscribers Metro Ethernet Forum-certified E-Line and E-LAN services with user network interfaces growing to 10 GbE, and Ethernet network-to-network interfaces (E-NNI) for global interconnect. Ethernet Transport enables carriers to provide Ethernet mobile backhaul services with the performance needed to meet sensitive timing requirements.
Extreme Networks Carrier Ethernet Transport solutions provide the following key benefits:
Increase Network Longevity
- Powerful Ethernet Transport solutions designed for carriers delivering residential triple-play, business Ethernet, and mobile backhaul services over a common transport network
- Wide range of high-density line-rate 10 GbE and 100 GbE ready Ethernet Transport systems support high-performance services both today and tomorrow
Improve Subscriber Loyalty
- Easy-to-use EPICenter® Network Management software and advanced Ethernet OAM&P protocols
- Industry-leading Ethernet Access Protection Switching support maintains service continuity when links fail
- Global Carrier Technical Assistance Center and Professional Services programs provide tailored support around the clock for network operators
Lower Operational Expenses with Easy-to-Operate Next-Generation Networks
- Simplified service provisioning and service assurance
- Lower annual operations cost due to reduced number of network elements, and lower power requirements
- Reuse of SONET/SDH fiber topologies and business processes provide operational familiarity
