Overview:
Customer-located equipment (CLE) is undergoing a quiet revolution as operators look to converge their access networks with solutions that support multiple services over a single, scaleable connection to their customers. With the integration of Ethernet and MPLS, CLE is now in a position to deliver. IXCs are the first to embrace multiservice CLE, as it provides them with a key weapon against local access charges by consolidating all services onto a single pipe. ILECs and PTTs, however, are also exploring these solutions, as they offer rapid provisioning of new services, a high degree of management and monitoring, and support for legacy services.

This Webinar will take a look at this hot market space and assess the demand for and challenges in delivering true multiservice CLE that is both economical and rich enough in features to support services ranging for VOIP to Internet access to VPNs. Key areas of focus include:

-Carrier convergence strategies in the access network

-Drivers for multiservice access

-Evolution of Ethernet technology to carrier-class

-Integration of MPLS as a solution for legacy services transport and improved services management

-Range of features, from simple managed access platforms to full-service support via pseudowire and MPLS technology

-Network deployment scenarios and key applications
