Ericsson unveils new Ethernet Metro Access Node at Broadband World Forum in Berlin
Ericsson unveils new Ethernet Metro Access Node at Broadband World Forum in Berlin
October 9, 2007
Ericsson's EDA portfolio provides fixed broadband access solutions based on Ethernet technology. To meet the increasing demand for aggregating higher bandwidths through the network, Ericsson is introducing a compact EDA Metro Access Node, EMN120, to address pure Ethernet networks end-to-end. Deep in the access network, EMN120 is a natural extension of the access network towards the core of the broadband networks, aggregating the higher bandwidth following the growth of internet and IPTV services.
Martin Mellor, Head of Product Line Broadband Access at Ericsson, says: "The compact nature of the EMN120 makes it unique and ideal for first level aggregation between highly distributed access nodes and the Central Office (CO) based Metro network edge. It reinforces Ericsson's carrier Ethernet offering, providing a rich service mix of centralized and distributed network applications, such as cost-efficient delivery of video services, over a Full Service Broadband architecture."
The EMN120, combined with a Redback SmartEdge router, allows achieving a flexible mix between cost, intelligence and performance, and preparing for 10GE aggregation at the first level. The EMN120 also complements Ericsson's OMS carrier products for pure transport solutions.
EMN120 is commercially available and is showcased at the Broadband World Forum in Berlin, October 8-11, 2007, at the Ericsson stand.
Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet communications through its continuous technology leadership. Providing innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson is helping to create the most powerful communication companies in the world.
