Ethernet over SDH - A future for legacy networks

For network operators, increasing demand for Ethernet/IP services has created a bandwidth demand that existing SDH technology is not ideally suited to meet.

Ethernet over SDH (EoS) consists of a set of new industry standards that meet these challenges, and Nera can deliver equipment and software to deliver the solutions now.

While network providers must cope with the divergence between TDM and data services, and meet the integration challenges today, the technologies are expected to converge in the future. Nera is convinced that Next Generation SDH will continue to play a role in allowing legacy networks to attain optimal transport of Ethernet and TDM traffic for years to come. 

As the service and technology development of today's converging networks quickens pace, operational challenges grow. Nera's network management systems are designed with a multi-tiered and components-based architecture that makes them tremendously flexible in functionality and integration. This keeps update and upgrade time low, ensuring that management products also keep up with the pace of technological developmemt.

Nera's Metro Ethernet solution provides the necessary features to allow the provider to adapt to emerging demands: Meeting the future needs of legacy networks, today.
