Optical Core Migration for MSOs: Support New Revenue-Generating Services
Tuesday, April 27th, 11:00-12:00pm ET
As residential traffic increases from the deployment of Docsis 3.0 and the addition of VoIP services, MSOs are expanding rapidly into business services with Carrier Ethernet. This expanding mix of packet-based services and ever-increasing traffic demand is forcing MSOs to consider the evolution of their core optical networks. The core optical network must transport these varied traffic types and provide new bandwidth on existing fiber assets to minimize costs. New core transport options must deliver 40G/100G capacity with minimal disruption to the existing network and efficiently manage the migration from TDM to packet.
Join our virtual seminar as Taylor Salman and Karl Horne explore the requirements for next-generation core optical networks for MSOs, and discuss relevant solutions including Ciena’s packet-optical transport system.
Attend and learn about:
- Requirements driving the evolution of the MSO’s core optical network
- Seamless transition to 40G/100G capacity
- Utilizing OTN and Carrier Ethernet for packet-based traffic
If you’re responsible for MSO optical core networks, attend to find out about changing requirements and the drive to 40G/100G packet networking.
