Mobile Backhaul
The mobile backhaul experiences a major paradigm shift from current PDH and ATM transport to an Ethernet based network. The two main factors driving this transition are the dramatic increase in bandwidth demand and the pressure on mobile operators to reduce costs. In an effort to raise revenue mobile operators introduce new data-centric services and applications. Supported by ‘smart phones’, which constitute an increasingly higher percentage of new phones, these new services increase the demand for bandwidth by an order of magnitude and more.
Carrier Ethernet Switching
Carrier Grade Ethernet Services can support a range of applications more easily, efficiently and cost-effectively than other network services. Using standard Ethernet interfaces, subscribers can set up secure, private Ethernet Virtual Connections across a Metropolitan Area, or even a Wide Area, to connect their sites together and connect to business partners, suppliers and the Internet. Using point-to-point E-Line Services and multipoint E-LAN Services, subscribers can connect to one site or many. With service options such as Service Multiplexing, subscribers can use a single UNI to support multiple
connections.
Radio Access
Ethernity delivers unique packet transmission technology for carrier grade scalable 10G Virtual Fiber Backbone over the Air, in point to point and mesh network offering the use of off the shelf wireless technology while maximizing availability and scalability . Ethernity offers solution that can aggregate multiple microwave links to form a 10Gbps virtual link. Ethernity solution runs packets or single IP stream over multiple microwave links with the ability to transmit those packets over standard switches and construct the data to a single stream using frame reordering and jitter buffer technologies.
AFDX
Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) is a data network for safety-critical applications that utilizes dedicated bandwidth while providing deterministic Quality of Service ( QoS). AFDX is based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet technology and utilizes commercial off-the-shelf components. AFDX is a specific implementation of ARINC Specification 664 Part 7, a profiled version of an IEEE 802.3 network per parts 1 & 2, which defines how Commercial Off-the-Shelf networking components will be used for future generation Aircraft Data Network (ADN). The six primary aspects of AFDX include full duplex, redundancy, deterministic, high speed performance, switched and profiled network.
Load Balancing and Smart NIC
ENET combines Switch , Router, Traffic Managmenet per VM, wire speed NAT/APT, timing , traffic monitoring, and load balancing functionlity on a single FPGA. ENET L2/L3/L4 Load balancing solution is fundamental to creating scale-out web services. We designed and implemented layer 2/3/4 hierarchical load balancer that runs on FPGA and meets the performance reliability and operational requirements of multi-tenant cloud computing environments. A key component of ENET is its ability to support deterministic performance load balancing and packet modification such as NAT that is used for implmenting of vCPE implementation , together with dedicate engine that analyze the availability of health of each CPU/VM.
Multi Service Access Node ( MSAN)
Telecommunications Equipment Manufactures (TEMs) are facing tough challenges in their triple play concentration and distribution equipment including MSANs. While there are multiple media options to deliver this type of service each media requires a different type of networking component that may handle the required protocols and throughput. This much-talked-about dedicated engineering resources for each media type , which result in huge expenses associated with each media including ADSL,VDSL, Fiber, PON, Transport, Mobile Backhaul and wireless. This type of equipment must now be designed with significantly more bandwidth to support non blocking IPTV ,
