Mobile Backhaul
The growing bandwidth requirement for wireless IP services drives the need for a backhaul solution optimized for packet.  Implementing wireless IP services does not imply that all the infrastructure components would be routers.  Carrier class Ethernet is an alternative that should be considered.  To determine whether IP or Ethernet is the optimal backhaul solution, carriers should consider the unique technical and business environment of wireless services backhaul.

Quality of Service (QoS) for Triple Play
Over the past few years, carriers of all types have been undergoing initiatives to maximize their current network infrastructure to deliver more packet-based services, while continuing to support current legacy-based services. Learn how the Overture Networks ISG family is able to maintain proper QoS for all traffic/service types across any infrastructure.

Resilient Networks for Cable Operators
Learn how Overture Networks was able to help build a scalable, resilient data aggregation network for a leading cable system operator that allowed them to use their existing fiber network to deliver business-class Ethernet and TDM Circuit Emulation services without any additional cost or complexity.

Private Line Ethernet
Learn how this company, a banking service provider to over 3,000+ member banks, was able to implement a transparent point-to-point Ethernet solution that lowered costs from day one using the Overture Networks ISG solution.

Securing Multiservice Networks
Learn how Overture Networks provided a secure solution for a large metro service provider who needed to leverage their existing fiber plant to provide multiple Ethernet and TDM-based services to various customers at various speeds.

E1 Circuit Emulation over IP
Learn how Overture Networks was able to reduce one global carrier's STM-1 trunks (and consequently their monthly recurring charges) by $200,000/month by allowing them to deliver local Ethernet and E1 services across a single TDM/SONET/SDH uplink.

Circuit Emulation on the ISG
See how the ISG delivers traditional T1 (E1 or J1) circuit-based voice/data/video services for Ethernet/IP with the same "no compromise" quality and robustness as a circuit delivered in native TDM over SONET/SDH.

Management
Learn how the ISG product suite extends management 'visibility' all the way to the remote customer edge — whether on-net or off.

Protected Switching Ring (PSR)
Learn how Overture Networks' patent-pending Protected Switching Ring (PSR) technology provides a ring topology that can be built using standard Ethernet technology at approximately one-third the cost of RPR with equivalent functionality.
