T1/E1 over Ethernet (PWE)
Provide T1/E1s using your Low-cost Carrier Ethernet Infrastructure
Carriers are rapidly deploying Native Ethernet solutions for the growth services which are IP and Ethernet based. Completing the transition to native Ethernet infrastructure requires supporting legacy T1/E1 based services, which will continue for years to come. For business services, T1s for PBX, private line services, and Frame Relay will stay in place until those services are ultimately converted to other technologies. For mobile backhaul, T1s to support 2G and some 3G services will stay in place and continue to grow for a number of years.
When it comes to pseudowire services, performance is everything. The T1/E1 must still meet the same industry standards of performance in terms of latency, jitter and wander. MEF 18 is a new level of certification developed by the Metro Ethernet Forum to address TDM circuit emulation (pseudowire) services over Ethernet. The purpose of this certification is two-fold: to ensure interoperable vendor implementations and to ensure that the TDM services still meet stringent ITU and ANSI standards. MEF 18 was specifically developed to ensure solutions can deal with real world impairments of latency, jitter and wander. In order to be MEF 18 certified, solutions must deliver ANSI and ITU compliant T1s under extreme variations of network utilization and jitter. Overture solutions are some of the first in the industry to meet the stringent certification requirements of MEF 18.
