Carrier Ethernet

Modernize your mobile network to packet technology with carrier-class reliability using Carrier Ethernet Most carriers are already familiar with Carrier Ethernet for businessclass service delivery; and for most providers, their core networks are already IP/Ethernet. Upgrading the radio elements (node-B/radio network controller) to Ethernet will continue to allow operators to merge their existing wireline Ethernet networks with mobile backhaul, which in-turn will eliminate the need for two separate networks. A 4G all packet network requires the network to be fault-resilient, similar to traditional TDM or SONET based networks where high availability/uptime is a must-have requirement. Service faults must be rapidly detected and reported before they impact the user. In addition, voice and data packets must be measured for throughput and latency and the network must be designed for both physical and logical failover and redundancy. Designed to latest Carrier Industry Standards (IEEE, MEF, ITU), Transitions growing portfolio of Network Interface devices (NIDs) provides an intelligent demarcation between the mobile operator and Service provider networks. Featuring the latest in carrier Ethernet standards for first/last mile OAM (IEEE 802.3ah), connectivity fault management (IEEE 802.1ag) and packet performance monitoring (ITU-Y.1731), Transitions wireless backhaul NIDs offer a wide choice and granularity of bandwidth

and quality of service options. Cell tower deployments often require both power redundancy and wide power operating requirements. Transition offers an extended temperature NID with redundant power options using AC or DC.. Utilizing a fan-less design to increase reliability over the products lifespan., Transition NIDs offer egress and ingress traffic policing/shaping, port based loopback testing and support for 10k jumbo frames. Designed to be cost effective and flexible (MEP Up/Down, MIP, ENNI and UNI) Transition NIDs offers full layer 2 switching including full VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) support, double tagging (Q-in-Q IEEE 802.1ad) and IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) and IPv4/IPv6 DiffServ.
