Transitioning Wireless Backhaul Networks to True Carrier Ethernet with foreword by Heavy Reading (pdf)
The wireless backhaul network, traditionally based on TDM technology, is reaching a breaking point. Originally designed to handle narrowband voice traffic, the backhaul network simply does not have the capacity to handle today's mobile traffic. Ciena offers a solution that integrates existing TDM technology with Ethernet to provide operators maximum benefits, while increasing bandwidth and reducing overall costs.

Practical TDM Service Migration to a Converged Ethernet Infrastructure (pdf)
Until businesses and enterprises complete the transition from TDM private lines to ubiquitous Ethernet to support point-to-point, dedicated inter-office voice and data connectivity, there remains a strong TDM market segment for service providers worldwide. This white paper looks at how TDMoP provides a standards-based method for emulating TDM services over a converged packet network in a very scalable, reliable, and cost-effective way.
