businesses of carriers are shaped by the nuances of regulations
and the rapid pace of technology. How should they service
their business customers who increasingly, want to interconnect
their LANs via IP-enabled WANs. FTTP based on Ethernet Switched
Optical Network (ESON) technology is becoming the economical
answer for doing just that |

Amedia offers and
ideal set of benefits for carriers – particularly when
addressing the business market segments. For example:
- VLAN Enabled: Amedia’s QoStream™
family of solutions use Virtual Local Area Networks
(VLANs) and Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2 VPNs.)
This combination creates a Virtual Private Network from
multiple physical networks that appear to the user as
a single real network; they are also private since each
community of VPN is isolated from the other communities
in the physical network.
- High Levels of Security: Security issues are
addressed on numerous planes. First, the choice
of fiber eliminates the ability to tap or otherwise eavesdrop
by proximal contact with the access medium. Separate craft
access to Amedia’s outside version of its PG1000
Premises Gateway is another consideration. The fundamental
choice of topology can eliminate a significant degree
of vulnerability. Something as simple as eliminating
“broadcast and select” architectures
by adopting the Amedia Networks’ ESON architecture
can go a long way in addressing security concerns. Also,
SNMP v3 is used – both north-bound
and south-bound – for additional security.
- Fractional Bandwidth Deployment: An
extensive set of options in how Amedia’s products
are deployed enables a huge amount of flexibility. Multiple
levels of fractional bandwidth services
can be centrally managed via the QoStream™ Director
- Low Operational Costs: Amedia’s
AS5000 offers both intelligent multicasting and narrowcasting,
low power consumption, highly modular growth,
hardened version and pluggable optics – all contributing
to a low cost of on-going operations.
- Reliability: Amedia’s reliability
is derived, in part, from Ethernet Link Aggregation
(IEEE 802.3ad) which allows for multiple redundant links
between adjacent nodes. Traffic from multiple physical
links can be aggregated into a single logical link during
normal operation. In the event of a link failure, technology
now allows for the data from the failed link to be sent
through the surviving link(s) to ensure a sub-50ms restoration.
- A Truly Hardened Outdoor Premises Gateway Product:
The PG1000 is available in an environmentally hardened
outdoor enclosure that provides separate, lock-secured
access for craft, as well as access for subscribers, and
includes a back-up battery, built-in charger, and environmental
alarms It is engineered to operate within -40°C to
65°C (-40°F to 149°F)
