Migrate to Carrier Ethernet with ECI

  • 16 years ago
Telecom operators these days are facing a challenge – migration from legacy TDM/ATM networks to Carrier Ethernet (CE) transport, using MPLS or other protocols. ECI has the unique value proposition for three-phase migration based on: introduction of CE capabilities to existing infrastructure over MPLS line cards; addition of ECI Ethernet Switch /Routers in the parts where data traffic justifies it and the full CE infrastructure overlay when data traffic prevails in the whole network. Traffic interoperability and the multi-layered unified management system make this migration gradual and non-affecting to existing services. The current video is the first in line and is dealing with the first phase of evolution.
