Product Description
1000-Mbps Ethernet card, 2 SFP slots, Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, SDH (ETSI) system
Information connectivity is becoming ubiquitous as businesses and consumers look for ways to improve their productivity. Access to this information can be over a wide variety of networks, including the many forms of wire-line (DSL, T1, E1, dialup, cable modem, fiber to the premises, and so on) and wireless (cell, 802.11, WiMAX, and so on) vehicles. The main benefit of this information connectivity is user access to a wide variety of information that can be located anywhere in the world.
Ethernet technology has become the protocol of choice for the LAN environment. It is also becoming increasingly commonplace in metropolitan-area networks (MANs) with the release of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces on DSL access multiplexers (DSLAMs), fixed wireless, and private branch exchanges (PBXs). Thus, service providers are creating tariffs to efficiently interconnect to and transport users' data traffic using Ethernet handoffs, and they must deploy metropolitan (metro) transport equipment that will permit them to deliver these services cost-effectively and with the reliability required by their service-level agreements (SLAs). Although Ethernet-based services are growing, they are still not the dominant share of the market demand. Therefore, the service provider's metro networking equipment must support both traditional time-division multiplexing (TDM) services as well as newer Ethernet services without a major upgrade - this explains why the multiservice provisioning platform has taken hold in the metro marketplace.
