Abstract:

In today’s communications market, incumbent service providers are looking for ways to grow revenues. Carrier Ethernet can be deployed and priced to complement existing Frame Relay, ATM and private line services, with the intent of migrating medium and large customers from legacy data services so that average revenue per data subscriber increases. With over 189,000 DS3 and above connections in the United States served by fiber, incumbent service providers can entice these subscribers to move to 100 BaseT or Gigabit Ethernet at higher overall prices, but lower price per bit basis.

Carrier Ethernet services can be deployed using next-generation SONET platforms and carrier-grade Layer 2/3 Ethernet over MPLS switches. This offers an evolutionary approach to building a network that keeps capital expenditures in check while simultaneously growing revenues.
