Telindus launches Carrier Ethernet proposition
Odiham, UK - 20 May 2009: Telindus, the network integration specialist, today unveiled its Carrier Ethernet proposition, which will enable service providers to respond to growing consumer and business demand for increased bandwidth and flexibility. Working with Juniper Networks and ADVA Optical Networking, Telindus' new proposition offers service providers a unique breadth of Ethernet access and demarcation platforms, Ethernet services routers, maintenance, support, design, consultancy and proof-of-concept services that support the delivery of next generation connectivity and applications.
The recent explosion of media-rich content, distribution of files via peer-to-peer and the growth of content destined for mobile end points has resulted in many legacy networks, such as ATM, leased lines, or frame relay, struggling to cope with data volumes. In turn, this has driven increased demand for next generation networks based on packet switched technology. Telindus' proposition provides service providers with high quality, cost effective and scalable connectivity technology required to meet this needs. Utilising ADVA Optical Networking's FSP 150 family of intelligent Ethernet access products and Juniper Networks MX Series Ethernet Services Routers, combined with Telindus' design and consultancy expertise, service providers can rapidly deploy new products to facilitate new demand for scalable bandwidths, from under two megabits per second to more than ten gigabits per second. This will help to support customer retention and increase the opportunity for new revenue generation.
"The delivery of intelligent Carrier Ethernet services is rapidly becoming a critical element of a service provider's product portfolio,' commented Christoph Glingener, chief technology officer at ADVA Optical Networking. "This new partnership will ensure that service providers meet their customers' demands, enabling the delivery of increased bandwidth across the last mile with unparalleled flexibility, control and management."
To encourage technical innovation, Telindus has also developed a state-of-the-art Ethernet demonstration and proof-of-concept facility, which will give service providers the opportunity to test new products and services, attend demonstrations and see various technologies in action. Based at Telindus UK's headquarters, the facility has a 10 GB Ethernet traffic generation and testing capabilities and dual 25km in-facility fibre access spans, enabling service providers to replicate existing services based on IP, MPLS, optical and Ethernet transport technologies and identify and solve any issues.
"Service providers have seen business and consumer landscapes shift considerably in recent years," said Simon Parry, product manager of the service provider division at Telindus. "Web 2.0 has effectively turned the rules of communication on their head and in turn the need for reliable and scalable connectivity has become paramount. Service providers not only have to cope and flex to meet these demands; they also have to ensure they're producing a commercially viable business proposition for their customers.
"Service providers planning their path to a next generation network will have access to a proof-of-concept facility, state-of-the-art technology and design and consulting expertise to help them deliver operational efficiencies and true business value. Only with the correct support in place can the transformation to a next generation network be achieved. Building on Belgacom's experience with its own Carrier Ethernet network and Telindus' technical expertise, we hope to make service providers' path to rolling out Carrier Ethernet as smooth as possible", concluded Parry.
