Evolution Series™
The Evolution Series™ production ramp-up continues, and further broadening of the Evolution Series™ product range remains an important growth driver for Nera Networks.
“Evolution Series LONG HAUL is now fully introduced into our Evolution Series product family,” says Eirik Nesse, VP Product Management.
The Evolution Series™ provide multiple solutions based on one hardware platform.
“The new Evolution Series LONG HAUL has a 25% reduction in power consumption compared to previous long haul products,” Nesse explains.
“This translates directly into lower operating costs for network operators.”
