If you’re considering Carrier Ethernet, but you still have a lot of unanswered questions, there’s now another resource that may provide some answers.

Telco Systems last week went live with a Carrier Ethernet site that offers providers a guide through the common difficulties of deploying Carrier Ethernet.

Among the questions addressed at the site are:

* Will Carrier Ethernet work over my existing infrastructure?

* How can I offer new data services without cannibalizing my existing customer base?

* With all the acronyms like PBB, PBT, MPLS, H-VPLS, EFM and CFM floating around, how do I know which are best for my network?

* How do I provision and manage the access network and each customer site?

* How can I ensure the SLA that I have with my customers?

"We are excited to have created a central resource that maps out the common problems encountered in the market today, and deconstructs the myth that deploying Carrier Ethernet is a daunting and costly process, when in reality, deploying this technology can be cost efficient and rather simple," says Manu Kaycee, vice president of product technology and strategy at Telco Systems.
