Mobile Backhaul/Fronthaul
The Radio Access Network (RAN) evolution is one that is driven both by technology advancement and economics. The increased use of the mobile network to deliver content - data and video in particular - is putting a strain on the existing copper-based telco infrastructure.
The need for more bandwidth means the need for multiple radio frequencies at any particular site in turn requiring multiple additional remote radio heads (RRHs). At the same time, the competitive marketplace for mobile services is putting tremendous pressure on pricing meaning that the cost of the underlying infrastructure must be kept to a minimum.
Alien Wavelengths
The EKINOPS 360 optical transport system provides the most operationally efficient and cost effective method for deploying alien wavelengths.
The unprecedented increase in data, video and mobile usage is leading to rapid fiber exhaust, years ahead of the end-of-life scenarios expected by many carriers when they deployed their existing networks.
Long Haul & Submarine Transport
Long Haul transport networks present difficult challenges simply due to their distance. Submarine networks, meanwhile, have their own unique requirements that typically demand special-purpose equipment for subsea use accompanied by specialized skill sets to operate.
Long Haul transport networks require more amplification and regeneration sites than metro networks and they are also operationally difficult as even routine activities such as wavelength turn-up and tuning typically require dispatching technicians to remote areas many miles from the nearest support site. Unplanned events such as outages and fiber breaks only compound the cost and difficulty.
Fiber Deep
The next generation of cable network architectures are based on a single concept — more bandwidth to each subscriber. Whether you use DOCSIS 3.1 or FTTH the goal is the same. With rates up to 10 Gbps, the metro core network needs to be ready for the capacity crunch.
Cable MSOs continue to actively build out their next generation networks to deliver high bandwidth connectivity to their subscribers, both business and residential alike. New Distributed Access Architectures (DAA) move the fiber-coax demarcation point closer to the end user to increase capacity per subscriber and improve network efficiency. Doing so allows the MSO to eliminate RF amplifiers from the network that are not only costly to operate but actually limit their ability to upgrade the network.
Metro & Enterprise Networks
Metro and enterprise networks are characterized by far more differentiated service profiles than long haul and core networks where traffic has already been aggregated onto a common transport infrastructure.
Traffic is added and dropped at more locations and the service mix is more volatile which to support, requires greater flexibility and manageability from your optical transport platform. With the EKINOPS 360 optical transport platform, you can optimize your network to provide exactly the support and performance you demand. With its modular architecture and using common hardware and software across multiple form factors, the EKINOPS 360 can be configured to address any metro or enterprise network requirement.
Data Center Interconnect
With the increasing uptake of Cloud-based services and virtualized network functions (VNF), data centers are replacing the telco central office as the crossroads of the next-generation network.
The critical nature of the information that they hold in their custody requires ubiquitous access and rapid distribution of data and applications to ensure a seamless end-user experience.
