Lucent Deploys Ethernet-Over-SONET With North American Carriers
February 10, 2003
Lucent Technologies today announced optical contracts to supply metro optical-networking systems to carriers in the United States and Canada.
Lucent has deployed Ethernet-over-SONET solutions from the Metropolis DMX Access Multipexer family with Cavalier Telephone, Everest Connections and Toronto Hydro Telecom. These contracts offer multiservices over SONET optical networking equipment market, and the products allow service providers to continue to use embedded technology while adding new revenue-generating Ethernet services without overhauling the network.
The Metropolis DMX family includes the DMX Access Multiplexer for central office and large enterprise applications, the DMXpress for customer premises applications, and DMXtend, now available, for enterprise and loop access applications. All provide compatible next-generation SONET functionality and serve as integrated Ethernet over SONET metro platforms.
The agreements include:
Cavalier Telephone, a telephone company
headquartered in Richmond, Va., is deploying
Gigabit-Ethernet packet rings in its mid-Atlantic telecommunications network for
Internet access.
Everest Connections, a Kansas City-based broadband service provider,
is utilizing the Metropolis DMX and DMXpress for Business
Class Ethernet Services utilizing VPNs for security carrying T1 service for Voice Services into their 5ESS switches.
Lucent is supplying Toronto Hydro Telecom Inc. with the Metropolis
DMX and DMXpress for Toronto Hydro Telecom's high-speed fiber optic
network throughout Toronto. The network, which spans more than 450
kilometers, currently links more than 400 of the largest buildings in
Toronto. Lucent's solution will allow Toronto Hydro Telecom to offer
its customers new Ethernet services, along with traditional time
division multiplexing (TDM) services.
The Metropolis DMX portfolio integrates the latest standard innovations in Ethernet over SONET (EoS) technology including Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) and Virtual Concatenation. The portfolio improves efficiency of Ethernet service transport for a wide range of dedicated bandwidth and switched Ethernet services. It extends the reach of Ethernet services beyond the metropolitan area network to enable continental and even global Ethernet services. Providing a solid foundation for future bandwidth and service growth, the Metropolis DMX also offers scalable service growth with interfaces from DS-1 to OC-192, including 10/100 Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet, and TDM growth to 768 DS3s in a single bay frame.
