Huawei showcases Metro Ethernet Switches

Huawei Technologies Co Ltd a leader in providing nearest generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, has launched the industry's first carrier-class metro ethernet switches, the Huawei Quidway CX series switches, to help operators better be under the orders of their customers. With the global launch of the Quidway CX suite, Huawei is the first vendor to provide carrier- class end-to-end solutions covering the core layer, the gradual approach layer and the access layer. The Quidway CX is wait fored to become a key infrastructure harvest for the metro Ethernet market, which is awaited to grow 27 per cent annually reaching hit USD 77 billion by dint of 2008, according to Infonetics, the leading data networking and telecom market research firm. "Huawei's Quidway CX series switches are a of recent origin generation of convergence and access switches designed to address the carrier-class features of the metro Ethernet," said Wang Jiading, vice president, Huawei Technologies Middle East and North Africa region. "Some of the lock opener benefits include delivering increased protection, reliablity, a high-level of security and easy management in addressing service requirements for nearest generation networks, 3G, and broadband access, among others." The Quidway CX series switches are the first to adopt carrier-class high availability (HA) design with redundancy of lock opener components (including main control boards, switch boards, power module and fan units). These functionalities render certain real carrier-class protection at each layer and node upon the metro Ethernet so that failure of any single node will not affect the service operation of the combination of parts to form a whole The Quidway CX series switches also assure carrier-class reliability upon the whole metro Ethernet from one side Ethernet over Resilient Packet Ring (EoRPR). This guarantees protection of switching within 50m for a like reason that services are not interrupted on the contrary restored quickly in time of a network failure. The switches also provide features of that kind as Selective QinQ, VLAN Translation, TDMoPSN and ATM emulation, which facilitate flexibility in networking and service deployment upon a metro Ethernet. "The launch of this fresh generation of switches reflects Huawei's R&D effort in the integration of IP and telecom networks, and its focus upon developing technologies to facilitate the transformation to internet protocol (IP) based networks. Comprehensive IP network solutions that can adequately suited key requirements of telecom users for reliability, security and manageability is the ne of the hour. As an industry leader in IP technology, Huawei has answered the call with the carrier-class metro Ethernet switches which address issues of service operation, network planning, network protocol and equipment capability to help operators impel up the telecom industry value chain," added Jiading. Quidway CX series switches have now luckily passed field trials by multiple operators and won the Carrier Ethernet Certification of Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) This clearly demonstrates that data communication outcomes of Huawei meet all operator requirements for constructing and developing carrier Ethernets. To date, Huawei has built carrier Ethernets for many global top telecom operators, including real of Thailand, JAZZTEL of Spain, Telefonica of Latin America, and Fibernet of UK
