High-Quality Carrier Ethernet Services using Metro Packet Optical Transport (pdf)
To capture and retain the most discerning high-value enterprise customers, contain costs, and maximize profitability in the face of heavy competition, service providers must replace or augment first-generation, standalone Ethernet switches and basic Ethernet-over-SONET/SDH solutions with a more scalable, manageable, and deterministic service architecture.

Metro Packet Optical Transport for Differentiated Triple Play Services (pdf)
Facilities-based providers and ISPs taking advantage of local loop unbundling recognize the strategic and economic value of bundling broadband video, voice, and Internet access services to home subscribers. Growing and retaining a Triple Play customer base is desirable only if the service is profitable—a condition that requires a cost-effective and reliable metro aggregation and distribution network with guaranteed service quality and resource efficiency.

G10 and G10X Modules for the CN 4200 Family
The G10 and G10X Ethernet service modules for Ciena’s CN 4200 FlexSelect Advanced Services Platform Family support MEF-based Ethernet services, converged Ethernet infrastructure, broadband aggregation, and mobile backhaul by integrating Layer 0/1 transport with Layer 2 packet switching on a single platform. This Webinar describes how these modules can right-size transport networks, reduce CAPEX by 50-90%, and provide sufficient Ethernet aggregation to lower network costs significantly.
