Ethernet Solutions for Cell Backhaul Applications (January 2008)
Cellular traffic backhaul is a critical, but costly, operational expense for mobile operators. Today’s cell backhaul infrastructure, which relies heavily on T1/T3 links, is straining to support a surge in mobile subscribers. Additionally, operators must expand their current backhaul capacities to support new bandwidth-intensive 3G applications like EV-DO, plus accommodate future 4G services. Real world Ethernet technology solutions are handing the challenges of next generation cellular networks, including requirements to boost backhaul bandwidth and reduce OPEX.
SPONSORS: ADVA Optical, Ceragon Networks, Ciena

  Ciena -- Mitch Auster, Sr. Director of Solutions Marketing, presents how Ciena is ramping up its Ethernet product portfolio to meet emerging wireless backhaul requirements.

Ethernet over Copper: Filling the Fiber Gap
(December, 2007)
The majority of today’s Business Ethernet revenue is generated from enterprise customers located in fiber-connected buildings using 10 Mbps or higher speed services. However, fiber reaches few U.S. business sites, and the vast majority of SMB sites are not fiber-fed. Alternative access solutions filling this “Fiber Gap” include deployments of Ethernet over T1, Ethernet over Copper, and other technologies.
SPONSORS: Ciena, Overture Networks

PodProfiles:

  Time Warner Telecom -- Mike Rouleau, Time Warner Telecom’s SVP of Business Development, discusses how TWTC is successfully deploying Overture’s products to expand their Ethernet service footprint and offer a broader range of lower speed Ethernet offerings.

  Ciena -- John Marston, Ciena’s VP of Product and Segment Marketing, defines the opportunity to extend Ethernet services via existing copper and explains how Ciena’s new series of Ethernet platforms can accommodate both fiber and copper-based Ethernet deployments.
