• Ericsson adds the SPO 1485 Multiservice DWDM to its metro regional/core Packet Optical Transport Platform (POTP) solution
• Operators can balance metro core packet and Optical Transport Network (OTN) with the Ericsson SPO 1400 family of POTPs
• Ericsson’s SPO 1485 addresses the need for low TCO metro core 10Gbps service and 100Gbps transport

In this video, Jan Häglund, Head of Product Area IP & Broadband talks in detail about Ericsson's three new commitments to it's 4G IP portfolio; the Ericsson SNP 4000 4th generation Smart Network Processor, the Ericsson IP Operating System, and Service Provide SDN.

In early February, Ericsson passed a significant milestone by signing its 100th Evolved Packet Core (EPC) contract – an industry-leading achievement – as operators continue to invest in LTE.

IPv6 is a reality. Network technologies, services and support systems are ready for it, with IPv6 device support widely available and operators already deploying IPv6 in their networks.

The evolution to denser radio-access networks with small cells in cluttered urban environments has introduced new challenges for microwave backhaul. A direct line of sight does not always exist between nodes, and this creates a need for near- and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) microwave backhaul.

An architecture based on software-defined networking (SDN) techniques gives operators greater freedom to balance operational and business parameters, such as network resilience, service performance and QoE against opex and capex. With its beginnings in data-center technology, software-defined networking (SDN) technology has developed to the point where it can offer significant opportunities to service providers.

• Expanded capability gives operators greater flexibility to deploy MINI-LINK products as backhaul solutions for small cells, thereby enabling high network performance
• MINI-LINK performance proven for non-line-of-sight usage
• New additions to MINI-LINK portfolio include several IP-based backhaul products catering for mobile-broadband growth
