Bonding copper circuits for increased Ethernet bandwidth

The key innovation in EFM is the loop bonding of multiple copper circuits to provide increased band- width. By intelligently distributing traffic across multiple circuits, and using very high-efficiency hardware processing, these multiple circuits appear to the network as a single, high-bandwidth link, overcoming the limitations of individual copper circuits.

802.3ah EFM

The IEEE 802.3ah standard for EFM, covering both fiber and copper Ethernet applications, specifies the type of encoding used, bonding methodology for copper, and OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance) support. Zhone supports 802.3ah in our Ethernet aggregation line cards and EtherXtend SHDSL.bis EAD products.

N2N Ethernet over Copper Bonding

Pioneered by Net to Net (also known as N2N, acquired by Zhone in 2005) N2N Ethernet over copper loop bonding is the pre-standard benchmark for performance. Deployed worldwide and field proven, Zhone continues its support for N2N bonding along with standards-based EFM. N2N-based bonding provides physical layer (PHY) bonding of T1 / E1 / DS3 and SHDSL circuits for highly efficient and reliable bandwidth gain.

Ethernet over Copper as Frame Relay replacement

IP SLA adds value

Today’s businesses need higher bandwidth and are willing to pay for assured performance. IP Service Level Agreement (IP SLA) enables the business customer to receive reports on round trip performance, link availability, link uptime, latency, jitter, and other statistical data measurements for their service.

The advantage of Transparent LAN Service (TLS)

TLS uses the simplicity and ease of native Ethernet and VLANs to deliver easy-to-provision Layer 2 services. TLS provides seamless LAN-to-WAN connectivity, without costly and complex WAN equipment or

the need to encapsulate. Up to 8 pairs of T1/E1 or SHDSL.bis pairs can be bonded, thus providing scalable bandwidth up to 45 Mbps.

Ethernet Private Line services are quick and easy

Creating a point-to-point Ethernet Private Line (E-Line) service using existing copper pairs allows copper bonding to rapidly increase bandwidth by creating T1/E1 or SHDSL.bis Ethernet connections from 1.5 Mbps to as high as 45 Mbps. Using the same copper delivering Fractional or Full T-1 Frame Relay, a secure and higher bandwidth E-Line is created without the need to reconfigure the core network.

This product allows operators to seamlessly deliver a variety of services, including VoIP, video conferencing, and internet access, over a single platform. This integration not only simplifies network architecture but also reduces operational costs, making it a cost-effective solution for service providers.

The ZTI-PG also boasts robust scalability. As customer demands and bandwidth requirements evolve, the gateway can be easily scaled up to accommodate increased traffic. This is particularly important in today's fast-paced digital world, where service providers must be agile and responsive to changing market conditions.

In terms of performance, the ZTI-PG utilizes advanced packet processing technologies that optimize traffic flow and reduce latency. This ensures high-quality service delivery, crucial for demanding applications such as real-time voice and video communication. The gateway supports Quality of Service (QoS) features that prioritize critical traffic, further enhancing user experience.

Security is another critical characteristic of the ZTI-PG. With built-in security protocols, operators can protect their networks from potential threats and ensure the integrity of their services. Encryption features safeguard data in transit, providing peace of mind for both service providers and end-users.

Additionally, the ZTI-PG integrates seamlessly with existing network infrastructure. Its compatibility with a variety of legacy systems and modern technologies ensures that service providers can implement the gateway with minimal disruption. This flexibility enables a smooth transition for operators looking to upgrade their service offerings.

In conclusion, the Zhone Technologies ZTI-PG stands out as a powerful solution for telecommunications providers. With multi-service support, scalability, optimized performance, security features, and seamless integration capabilities, it empowers service providers to deliver superior services in an increasingly competitive landscape, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.
