ISG 6000

Overview

• Carrier Ethernet Aggregation System
  • Complements switches / routers in the Central Office (CO)
• Increase revenues with multi-layer aggregation of services
  • Layer 3 – IP to Ethernet interworking
  • Layer 2 – Carrier Ethernet services such as E-Line, E-LAN, and E-Tree
  • Layer 1 –  Voice and private line services using pseudowires
• Decrease operational expenses by optimizing transport and switching
  • Convert traffic to Ethernet at the first aggregation point
• Carrier-grade software with MaestrOS™ operating system

The ISG 6000 Carrier Ethernet Aggregation System, with its MaestrOS™ operating system, is the first member of a new family of products from Overture Networks specifically designed to accelerate the transformation to Carrier Ethernet infrastructure and services.

The ISG 6000 comes standard with four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and two interface card slots for adding additional Ethernet ports or reaching hundreds of customers across SONET/SDH, PDH optical or copper connections.

With the ISG 6000 at the edge of your network, you can now fully embrace Carrier Ethernet while supporting the existing services and infrastructure that continue to pay the bills. In fact, by designing a Layer 2 access network using Carrier Ethernet, a service provider can actually simplify the job of their core network while still reaching all customer sites with a consistent set of Ethernet, IP and TDM services.

Applications

• Business services – global, national and metro
• Wireless backhaul
• DSLAM backhaul
• Wholesale Carrier Ethernet / IP transport

What People are Saying

“Service providers are moving their networks from TDM toward packets, creating complexities while heading toward simplicity, and they are looking for ways to deploy new services as simply and cost-efficiently as possible using a trusted solution,” said Michael Howard, Principal Analyst & Co-Founder of Infonetics Research. “In our estimation, the Overture Networks ISG 6000 is a leading-edge platform that promises to help decrease costs and create new revenues as service providers make the transition to Carrier Ethernet--and it does this at a price point far less than big-iron switches.”

“With the rapid growth of Carrier Ethernet services, the first-level CO or PoP has created a gap between point products and big-iron switches, which creates inefficiencies throughout the network,” said Stan Hubbard, Heavy Reading. “Overture Networks’ new ISG 6000 Carrier Ethernet Aggregation System helps bridge this gap and remove these inefficiencies by providing low-cost aggregation of packet services and simplifying the overall operation of the access network.”
