Business Services
Enterprise and business services clients represent an attractive and stable market for access network providers who can support their mission-critical voice, data, and TDM connectivity requirements. Fixed-line carriers are exploring access network options in order to competitively serve business-services customers while alternative carriers (e.g., CLECs, MSOs) eye the market as an opportunity to create differential advantage with new service bundles.
Voice communications may be carried over VoIP or TDM circuits that connect the PSTN to local PBXs. TDM applications have a variety of stringent ITU-T-defined performance requirements for MTIE, jitter, and wander, as well as other economic considerations. Teknovus‐based EPON is the ideal transport network for TDM connectivity based on economics, performance, and application flexibility. High-performance Internet connectivity is also very important of course. Service providers must provide guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs), assuring clients that their traffic will be unaffected by other’s and that quality of service metrics are maintained.
Service reliability is by far the most important criteria by which alternative providers are judged. Teknovus provides its system vendors customers with the foundation to achieve carrier-class service, including regression-tested firmware and other elements such as network monitoring functionality that enables carriers to anticipate problems and repair them before they become service affecting.
The drawing below illustrates how Teknovus' Optical Monitoring solution provides actionable information to the service provider. This information includes Bit Error Rate (BER) statistics, received-power, ONU power leakage, and other filtering/aggregation functions:
