Zhone Ethernet Access and Network Extender Solutions

Zhone Ethernet Access and Network Extender Solutions Ethernet is the best choice for IP (Internet Protocol) transport. However, while Ethernet has dominated the Local Area Networks of most businesses and homes, there are a few limitations that prevent Ethernet from reaching between these LANs and into the WAN. Fiber Optic Ethernet Transport solutions, such as Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) have fueled Metro Ethernet initiatives, designed to build large networks that span campuses, neighborhoods or even entire cities. Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) technologies also help to disseminate Ethernet connectivity, using EFM-F (EFM over Fiber) or EFM-C (EFM over Copper using VDSL2 or SHDSL). Ethernet in the WAN takes EFM a step further and drives Ethernet over T1 or E1 circuits, finally bringing Ethernet to the WAN. By bringing all three of these components together, Zhone can provide Ethernet Everywhere. Because of this, Ethernet may be used in many unique applications, including: • Point-to-Point LAN Extension • Cellular Data Backhaul • T1/E1 Replacement/Alternative • E-LAN/E-Line • Municipal/Government Networks • Transparent LAN between multiple sites • Network Backhaul from DSLAMs over copper • Packet Network Access for ISPs to offer high speed access services over existing cooper • In-building (risers) and Campus Connectivity • Delivering high bandwidth services where fiber is not available The key point here is that Ethernet IP services can be extended without using expensive frame relay, ATM or fiber connections. How? Network Extenders transport Ethernet directly over SHDSL or T1 making it easy to interconnect LANs virtually any distance. Multiple circuits may be bonded together (loop bonding) for higher bandwidth requirements to form high-capacity Ethernet WAN connections. Network Extenders work in pairs as a single point-to-point LAN extension or a fully managed aggregation point for multiple extensions (point to multipoint).

EtherXtend Key Benefits. • Cost-effective. Provides transparent Ethernet service by taking advantage of T1’s limitless distance and WAN ubiquity • High-speed bandwidth. T1 circuits can be bonded up to 12Mbps, SHDSL up to 9.2Mbps throughput • Full support for Multimedia Traffic Management (MTM), providing sophisticated IP QoS and application-aware traffic control • Plug and Play. Configuration free for easy installation • Versatile. Can be used in either point to point, or point to multipoint applications • Connects organizations seamlessly and securely as if they were on the same LAN • Full application control and QoS. Allows traffic shaping separation so multiple networks can be securely provisioned from a single Network Extender • Environmentally hardened for use in extreme conditions and remote cabinets

Point-to-Point LAN Extension Zhone’s EtherXtend provides high-bandwidth point-to-point Ethernet over Copper solutions. The EtherXtend supplements Zhone’s existing line of Network Extenders, providing an ideal solution for metro LAN extension, Cellular Site backhaul or any pointto-point application requiring Ethernet connectivity over the WAN. Zhone transports Ethernet directly over either SHDSL, T1 or E1 — making it easy to interconnect LANs over virtually any distance. For higher bandwidth requirements — such as with wireless 3G set backhaul — multiple circuits may be bonded together to form higher-capacity Ethernet WAN connections. Zhone’s loop bonding technology is a fast-convergence, fully redundant and load-sharing solution that provides a highly scalable and reliable solution. Zhone’s Ethernet products are all interoperable, and work in pairs or in conjunction with Zhone’s MALC Broadband Loop Carrier or with the IPD12000-series IP DSLAM, creating either a single point-to-point LAN extension or a fully managed aggregation point for multiple extensions.
