What is Carrier Ethernet?

Scalability• Services and Bandwidth• 100,000’s of EVC’s• From Mbps to x10Gbps

Reliability• Network Protection 50 ms• Service Availability five 9’s

Hard QoS• Guaranteed end to end SLA• End to End CIR and EIR• Business, Mobile, Residential

TDM Support• Seamless integration of TDM• Circuit Emulation Services• Support existing voice applications

ServiceManagement• Fast service creation• Carrier class OAM capabilities• Customer Network Management (CNM)
