Packet Transport

An increasing array of smart devices, applications, and consumer demand for rich mobile content like video, interactive gaming, web browsing etc. is driving the huge market for equipment manufacturers and telecom operators alike. Legacy TDM-based transport networks can no longer provide the scalability and cost-effectiveness needed to service the rapid pace of expansion and increasing complexities. In order to optimize transport costs, service providers need to cost-effectively upgrade to resilient carrier class packet based networks.

Initial attempts at packet transport were mostly focused toward Internet Protocol (IP), and later evolved to embrace Carrier Ethernet and Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). The resulting packet transport equipment offers the benefits of latest carrier grade packet-based technologies at economical costs. Today, service providers around the globe are rapidly adopting packet-based transport technologies thanks to standardized service definitions and compelling capabilities such as scalability, reliability, QoS, and manageability.

Our Packet Transport Protocol Stacks

Carrier and Metro Ethernet

Carrier Ethernet transforms traditional Ethernet to a carrier grade transport technology by including capabilities such as resilience, operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM), traffic engineering, and quality of service (QoS). We help to build the next generation of feature-rich Carrier Ethernet products by providing individual protocol stacks for Ethernet Linear Protection Switching (ELPS), Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS), Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB), and Provider Backbone Bridging Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE).

IP/MPLS

The ability of IP/MPLS to carry multiple streams of packet-based services over a common transport, with agreed QoS assurance and ease of provisioning, makes it a natural choice for packet transport networks. Our Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) software is an efficient and portable implementation of the label switching capability mechanism required by industry standards.Learn More

MPLS-TP

MPLS-TP is a set of enhancements over MPLS to provide strong OAM functions, and protection schemes required by transport networks. Our MLPS-TP software is a portable implementation of the MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) path protection switching mechanisms as specified in the MPLS-TP linear protection switching specification by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).Learn More

Packet Microwave

The wide spread acceptance of smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices has resulted in increased demand for broadband data services across mobile networks. However, this causes bottlenecks in conventional microwave systems. The IP microwave system not only improves the bandwidth utilization but also reduces OPEX and handles larger traffic volumes compared to the legacy systems. Our packet microwave software allows equipment manufacturers to develop robust standards compliant products to meet this challenge.Lead More
