Application Drivers
Wireless service providers are upgrading their mobile networks to new packet-based 3G and 4G/LTE/WiMAX technologies. These higher bandwidth mobile access networks allow service providers to morph their service offerings to take advantage of the available capacity deliver bandwidth intensive service such as mobile video on demand and real time application services to generate revenue growth opportunities. As a flow through wireless providers are facing a significant increase in bandwidth demand over their wireless backhaul networks that allow services to access the internet, and other users. Wireless backhaul services are deployed on the service provider own network or leased backhaul services from alternative access providers. These backhaul networks originally designed for TDM voice network capacity can become bottlenecks and careful consideration is needed to provide the growing service capacity in a cost effective manner.
Opportunities and Challenges
To successfully meet the requirements of wireless backhaul applications network must be available that have the horsepower to meet the bandwidth demand, they must provide resilient protected infrastructure with the ability to guarantee service level agreements, and also provide agile packet aggregation capability to improve the service efficiency in a timely manner. The conventional WDM systems would require significant capital investment to meet only some of the requirements for wireless backhaul. In comparison, the OpVista enabled solution delivers the expandable network capacity needed for bandwidth intensive services, the packet awareness required, and the operational visibility needed to manage and control the network.
OpVista's Solution
OpVista's Optical Networking solutions meet the challenge and enable service providers to deploy metro and regional transport networks more economically while satisfying the need for capacity expansion. Specifically, OpVista delivers a platform that expands wavelength bandwidth from 10G to 100G on today's 10G infrastructure without the need for expensive rebuilds. In addition, OpVista delivers integrated packet level aggregation services to allow Service Providers to more effectively utilize and manage their bandwidth capacity. OpVista offers Service Providers a carrier-class Optical Networking Solution (ONS) that delivers a flexible, reliable, and expandable transport services in a cost effective package.
