Packet Transport Network

Table of Contents

The shift from legacy networks to packet transport networks (PTN) and MPLS is continuing due to higher bandwidth, greater flexibility and lower cost offered by next-gen packet switched networks. However, traditional leased line and 2G mobile backhaul businesses still need to be supported by service providers. In addition, utilities and transportation companies continue to use low speed data, analog voice and other specialized equipment and interfaces which need to be supported on the next-gen network.

Therefore, the next-generation networks must support existing service models and are required to inherit TDM features including reliability, OAM and synchronization. However, it must still be future-proof to delivery of vast data traffic at an affordable price level, catering to the ever-increasing needs of enterprise users and 3G/4G/LTE mobile backhaul applications. The Starcom PTN platforms are a multi-core system that can carry any service over either SDH or IP/Ethernet infrastructures at the same time.

They are perfect for enabling a smooth transition from TDM to IP. The SDH-like network protection and redundancy requirements are met by supporting G.8031/G.8032 Ethernet and G.8131/ Wrapping-Steering MPLS-TP protection protocols with a recovery time of sub-50ms. Advanced management, monitoring and SLA assurance are implemented using 802.3ah, 802.1ag, Y.1731. For mobile backhaul and other timing sensitive applications, the PTN platforms support Sync E and I588v2. Integrated pseudo wire technologies enable smooth migration of TDM and legacy equipment over packet.
