ECI Displays First Fully-Converged CWDM/DWDM Platform With MSPP
XDM platform provides seamless connectivity with quality of service from
Metro edge to Regional core
At Supercomm, ECI Telecom will display the latest enhancements to its XDM(r) platform that make it the first multi-service provisioning platform (MSPP) to fully integrate CWDM and DWDM. Fully integrating CWDM, DWDM, Ethernet and SONET onto the same platform provides carriers and service providers with a solution that seamlessly connects and manages an optical network from the metro edge to the regional core with simplified operations, reduced costs and end-to-end performance monitoring.
The XDM converged platform with end-to-end multi-layer management allows for seamless traffic connectivity from subtending CWDM or SONET edge rings to metro core DWDM rings with performance monitoring for all services. Additionally, the XDM Build as you Grow(tm) architecture enables more freedom to choose the right technology for each service and application.
"While we have seen many converged platforms with partial integration of two or three transport methods, ECI's XDM delivers the most thorough integration of CWDM, DWDM, SONET and Ethernet transport," said David Dunphy, Principal Analyst, Optical Infrastructure, Current Analysis.
Full integration of CWDM, DWDM, Ethernet and SONET lowers service delivery cost by reducing the number of systems, eliminating inter-machine trunking and reducing the number of transponders in the network. More importantly, this full integration increases the agility of service providers. By merely adding a few modules to existing shelves, CWDM access is provided off a DWDM backbone, SONET transport is added to the DWDM infrastructure, or distributed Ethernet switching is incorporated into SONET networks.
"The XDM converged platform offers service providers the most choices in a build as you grow package", said Emanuel Nachum, Vice President Marketing, Optical Networks of ECI Telecom North America. "Carriers can now seamlessly connect metro access CWDM service rings to metro core DWDM rings."
