Carrier Ethernet Aggregation Switches Offer 100 GbE Performance, Flexibility for PTN and IP-RAN Deployment

摘要

Broadcom Corporation unveiled its latest high performance StrataXGS switch solutions optimized to meet the bandwidth, scalability and efficiency demands of next-generation Carrier Ethernet aggregation platforms. The StrataXGS BCM56640 Series for modular platforms, and the StrataXGS BCM56540 Series for fixed carrier Ethernet platforms, deliver the industry's highest port speeds and scale in their class, according to the company. The flexible architecture underlying both families is suited for both transport-oriented (PTN) and IP-oriented (IP-RAN) aggregation network deployments, providing operators with desirable capacity and service density while controlling operational costs. Both series feature the latest Carrier Ethernet innovations including MPLS-TP, MPLS OAM, integrated time synchronization, upgraded protection switching, and extensive IPv4 and IPv6 routing resources.
