Transporting data
Telecom operators have to invest in cost-effective, flexible and reliable mass transport systems to keep up with the increasingly aggressive pace of competition. This will enable you to reduce the cost per circuit in the core network while ensuring a robust SLA.
Current network modes from most telecom operators are made up of 4 layers:
- IP or other content-delivery access layer,
- ATM or MPLS network to drive the data traffic,
- SDH transport network with very high availability
- DWDM layer providing a massive expansion in your fibre capacity.
Over recent years, Tein Telecom has implemented and maintained many operators' transport networks, and similar numbers of less complex systems for the utilities sector. Due to its high reliability and bandwidth, SDH is exclusively used in most of these transport networks.
3G Networks
The arrival of 3G wireless networks and the anticipated growth in network capacity will make it essential for operators like you to invest in an appropriate core network. This will enable you to offer a wide range of services to convince potential customers.
To ensure that your current network is as future-proof as possible and enable you to continue upgrading it using the latest technologies, it needs to be based on a technology-independent architecture. IP is increasingly used as the transport environment, sometimes combined with DWDM. IPv6 and MPLS switches provide the required bandwidth, functionality and Quality of Service that previously only ATM and SDH networks were capable of supplying.
