Choosing Ethernet Over Optical
Network operators must upgrade their systems with data traffic consistently increasing by approximately 30% annually. This upgrade aims to reduce the cost per bit of transport, save space and power, cut operational expenses, and enhance overall network performance.
The integration of the packet and optical layers is an important step toward achieving these goals. The optical layer, with its low cost per bit, provides the foundation for efficient data transport. On the other hand, the packet layer enables precise service delivery, ensuring that your network can meet the diverse needs of your users. By integrating these technologies, you can maximize the efficiency of your transport network resources.
Packet-Optical Transport Can Help Meet Growing Demand
Integrating packet and optical transport is paramount to address the surging demand for Ethernet-based cloud, mobile, and video services. Nokia’s Integrated Packet Transport solution ensures you stay ahead of demand spikes. It’s designed for network modernization and furnishes the capacity, adaptability, and packet functionality necessary to manage relentless traffic growth.
The converged packet-optical solution optimizes wavelength capacity by incorporating Ethernet switching and aggregation into the Nokia 1830 PSS/PSS-x WDM/OTN platforms. This allows for flexible service grooming through switching at various levels: wavelength (L0), sub-wavelength (L1/OTN), or packet (L2/Ethernet). It boasts scalability to accommodate increased capacity demands and facilitates efficient, versatile traffic aggregation. The solution economically supports emerging and existing services across access, metro, and core network domains.
Fully Managed, End-To-End Packet Solution
Nokia’s comprehensive packet-optical solution seamlessly integrates robust and feature-rich packet transport services.
