The current trends toward flexible and converged solutions are driving network owners to optimize the service implementation, focus on IP and broadband technologies, and minimize complexity in network planning when creating new services.

Fixed and wireless broadband are complementary technologies that allow network owners to use existing infrastructure and business processes as a cost-effective path to an all-IP service environment and network convergence.
Ericsson Optical Networks product family provides solutions to efficiently address convergence, packet-based services, and “all-IP” services including high-speed connectivity.

To minimize capital expenditure and operational expenditure in particular, the Optical Transport Portfolio offers value-added solutions in each transport layer: evolving the SDH network to a packet network; integrating router networks with transport networks; and enabling optimized packet optical transport networks. There are clear roles for each layer in the packet network; “all-IP” networks need a lot more than just IP.

Using the Optical Networks portfolio, you can create solutions to expand new services and upgrade existing infrastructures by delivering IP services with IP over OTN/DWDM solutions (combining routers and optical transports); IP over packet transport solutions (combining router and packet transport solutions); and packet transport solution over SDH, upgrading SDH infrastructure with cost-effective layer 2 aggregation and switching (EoS – Ethernet over SDH advanced layer 2 switching).
