Siemens SURPASS Carrier Ethernet Solution Champions MPLS and Connection Oriented Ethernet Metropolitan Infrastructure


At MPLS World Congress 2007 in Paris, France, Siemens Networks will report on the benefits of the Hybrid Carrier Ethernet infrastructure and demonstrate MPLS capabilities by participating in the EANTC multi-vendor interoperability showcase.

Carriers look for services that will have clear differentiators, decrease customer churn rate and generate high margin revenues. As a matter of fact, packet based networks emerge as the most appropriate infrastructure to support revenue generating Service Level Agreements(SLA) through cost effective networks.

Siemens has designed a solution which allies the necessary robustness for Carrier-grade requirements while offering the technological flexibility required by networks specificities. Acknowledging that Hybrid Carrier Ethernet metropolitan networks bring the best ROI for service providers, Siemens feature MPLS and Connection-Oriented Ethernet capabilities in the same equipment, enabling total versatility.
Practically, carrier can ideally design their network, seamlessly adopting MPLS, PBT or VLAN Cross-Connect technologies for their metropolitan networks.

At the MPLS world congress 2007, Siemens will present the Hybrid Carrier Ethernet metropolitan networks benefits (February 6th at 15.30), and elaborate on Connection-Oriented Ethernet technologies to enable MPLS-based VPN in access networks (February 7th at 14.30). The SURPASS hiD 6650 will also be part of the MPLS multi-vendor interoperability showcase led by EANTC on site.
