Business Wire
NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading technology provider of
network, IT, and identity management solutions, announced today it
has enhanced its product lineup with the addition of a new Service
Aggregation Switch, the CX2600/200 series. The new switch
incorporates added TDM/ATM interfaces, as well as highly reliable
maintenance and operation functions, making it ideal for Next
Generation Network (NGN) rollout. The new features will enable
carriers to carry out a smooth deployment of business data
services, aggregate packet and circuit-based infrastructure and
migrate their mobile backhaul networks. NEC�s comprehensive
CX-series platform offers solutions that take on the multiple needs
in the mobile backhaul arena, including a high performance
transport solution enabled by QoS (Quality of Service); a network
solution that integrates a compact Pseudo Wire Emulation (PWE)
gateway � the CX2200-series � to achieve CAPEX reductions, and
which is highly suited for installation in wireless base stations;
or a mobile services solution through a combination of the new
CX-series with NEC�s recently launched 5000-series of SONET
(Synchronous Optical Network) / SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy)
microwave radios or NLite� E point-to-point digital microwave
radios. Key features incorporated in the CX-series, include: �
Aggregation of Diverse Services and Hybrid Switching
FunctionalityIn response to the need to move to an all-IP network
in the future, NEC is providing an efficient migration path to IP,
which includes a phased introduction of the IP transition within
existing TDM infrastructure.The Hybrid switching capability of a
single switching card simultaneously provides effective packet
switching for Ethernet/ATM traffic and low-latency circuit
switching for TDM traffic. In addition, the new PWE function
provides TDM/ATM emulation over IP networks. � Maintenance
Operation Functionality Supporting Highly Reliable ServicesFault
detection, line fault localization and performance measurement of
maintenance operation, all of which are issues with existing packet
networks, have been widely improved, contributing to improved
service reliability. � Intelligent QoS Control FunctionalityThrough
NEC�s proprietary intelligent QoS control function, low delays and
low jitter characteristics are achieved; enabling integration of
different traffic quality requirements. In NGN, where quality of
communication is paramount, per flow control is also supported.
�With the rapid increase in traffic converging on the network edge,
from DSLAM aggregation, to business VLANs, to the introduction of
WiFi / WiMAX-based services, there is greater demand for efficient
aggregation solutions,� said Yoshichika Iida, senior vice
president, NEC Corporation of America. �Understanding new market
demands, NEC has aggressively invested in its CX platform by
offering complementary optical and digital microwave radio
platforms to help carriers realize effective use of existing
infrastructure facilities and achieve a streamlined migration path
toward an all-IP Next-Generation Network." The new Service
Aggregation Switch is generally available today for the North
American market, and is a strong complement to NEC�s
�Generation-Free�� suite of optical networking solutions; allowing
operators the ability to integrate new elements to dynamically
�right-size� their networks. The CX2600-series was initially
introduced in 2003 as a Layer 2 switch with high-levels of QoS
control in broadband access areas. The CX2600-series has been
supporting and contributing to the development of fixed carrier�s
broadband infrastructure as a Service Aggregation Switch in areas
such as ADSL/FTTH access networks for consumer services and wide
area Ethernet networks, and Layer 2-Virtual Private Networking for
business network service. NEC�s CX-series is on display at NEC�s
Booth # 2162 at NXTcomm 2007, being held in Chicago, from June 18 �
21, 2007. For more information about NEC�s activities at NXTcomm
