MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
announced it was recently selected by a major mobile communications
service provider to support its mobile backhaul transition from
time-division multiplexing (TDM) to Ethernet. JDSU's NetComplete®
Ethernet OAM service assurance solution, including Ethernet test,
performance and service level agreement (SLA) monitoring solutions,
was selected to enable the quality deployment of
bandwidth-intensive mobile services and applications, including
mobile digital video and streaming video. Ethernet backhaul, or the
high-speed point-to-point connectivity between the 3G cell site
(NodeB) and the radio network controller (RNC) located at the
mobile switching office (MSO), is a priority issue from both a cost
and service performance perspective for wireless carriers. In a
recent study, Michael Howard, principal analyst for carrier and
data center networks at Infonetics Research, states that more than
100 operators are now deploying HSPA with a coming wave of HSPA+
upgrades, WiMAX, and LTE to handle skyrocketing mobile data
traffic. The most cost-effective way to do this, he adds, is to
transition from TDM to packet IP/Ethernet, which is driving the
mobile backhaul equipment market. JDSU's NetComplete Ethernet OAM
solution, which covers the entire Ethernet services deployment
lifecycle, provides the necessary functions to ensure reliability
during the mobile service provider's Ethernet backhaul transition.
These functions enable not only the rapid cost effective transition
to HSPA, HSPA+ and LTE but also the accurate identification and
troubleshooting of service impacting issues. The solution includes
Ethernet services turn-up testing and validation combined with
service performance and SLA monitoring. By monitoring service
performance and SLA conformance of the Ethernet backhaul, the
mobile service provider can proactively monitor and manage the
service and avoid costly service outages. "JDSU is proud to deliver
proven backhaul solutions to ensure service quality and a smooth
transition for advanced high-speed mobile services," said Tom
Smith, general manager in JDSU's Communications Test and
Measurement business segment. "Our solutions give mobile service
providers the ability to transition to Ethernet backhaul reliably
and with confidence." The NetComplete solution also gives the
mobile service provider end-to-end automated service turn-up
testing and performance monitoring that is standards-compliant with
RFC-2544, IEEE 802.1ag and ITU Y.1731, eliminating issues related
to network element interoperability and provisioning. About JDSU
