Backhaul Service Assurance & OAM with Accedian Solutions
Real-time 3G and 4G / WiMAX / LTE packetized services require inexpensive, wireless backhaul with the most strict performance requirements in telecom. Only a few milliseconds of jitter and latency can be tolerated, and committed throughput must be met. Making the grade means establishing managed Ethernet links with premium quality of service and high availability while keeping OpEx in check.
The world’s leading wireless operators turn to Accedian Networks’ MEF 22 compliant Ethernet Service Assurance Platform (ESAP ™) to monitor and assure their backhaul networks. Managing traffic from MSC to cell site, over wireline or microwave, ESAP enables end-to-end SLAs, OAM scalable to 1,000´s of sessions and in-service performance monitoring, troubleshooting and control that optimizes your network and services. Ethernet service creation, traffic filtering, shaping and policing define end-to-end links with guaranteed performance. Remote troubleshooting means no more blind truck-rolls, less downtime and more efficient operations.
Learn more on the Wireless Backhaul web page – with additional videos and white papers as reference.

Welcome to the October 2009 issue of EtherNEWS, offered in video and Podcast versions. Each month’s edition covers a wide range of applications and solutions related to Ethernet service creation, service assurance, SLA & QoS monitoring and evolving industry standards.
This month we focus on the challenges providers face when deploying or using Ethernet wholesale to interconnect with other carriers and extend business services to off-net locations. Our video this month covers the requirements for effective service handoff (E-NNI), technology required to maintain QoS as traffic enters or leaves a wholesale segment, and continuous performance monitoring techniques for SLA assurance for unicast, multicast and full-mesh services.

Product Highlight: MetroNID Demarcation Unit
Wholesale applications need standards-based, low-latency hand-offs between networks. QoS needs to be established, maintained and monitored over to meet strict SLAs. And providers need on-net visibility for off-net locations to enable and assure end-to-end performance.
A practical way to introduce Ethernet wholesale into existing networks is to deploy Accedian Networks MetroNID™ units as Ethernet Network to Network Interface Units (E-NNIU) and customer-located Network Interface Devices (NIDs). These cost-efficient, hardware-based units provide continuous Ethernet & IP performance monitoring, Ethernet OAM, and high performance MEF service mapping and traffic shaping functionality at a fraction of the cost of a typical switch. With the ability to handle up to 100 flows per unit, you can deliver fully assured Ethernet services over existing networks, and even maintain performance of full mesh and multicast applications to off-net locations.
