Carrier Ethernet Evolved
Recent expansions in demand for bandwidth hungry services are exceeding the capacity of the
traditional TDM services (T1’s, T3’s, SONET) that have provided high quality services, set the bar for
performance standards, and profitability for network operators for many years. Addressing this
challenge, network operators have turned to the most ubiquitous, cost-effective network technology
available – Ethernet.

But with a market accustomed to high-quality TDM services, can Ethernet provide a suitable alternative?

In its original conception, Ethernet was intended to be an Enterprise technology. Simplicity and ease of operation were designed in. But little attention was given to the characteristics that are priorities in the carrier world – robustness, resiliency, quality of service, manageability.

Join LightRiver’s Brian Wilkin, Data Transport Solutions Expert, as we explore the trek of basic
enterprise class technology into a platform capable of supporting the massive, complex traffic present in commercial networks which has led to the creation of Carrier Ethernet. Click here to register.

LightRiver’s latest webinar reviews the development and current status of Carrier Ethernet technology.
From a commercial network operator’s perspective, this presentation discusses the critical issues to be considered when designing a network to carry and deliver Ethernet services: resilience, scalability, etc.

Please join us Tuesday, October 30th, at 1:30PM EST to explore this first in a series of webinars covering Carrier Ethernet. Register for this event by clicking here
