Long Haul Solution

Long Haul and Extended Long Haul Networking Solutions
Modern long-haul and extended long-haul networks that interconnect service points of presence (POPs) must meet extraordinary demands and deliver the lowest possible cost-per-bit. To meet changing service and capacity demands, these networks must also provide the scalability to support long-term growth.

Cisco provides proven, flexible, and highly efficient DWDM solutions for today’s long-haul and extended long-haul networks. These solutions feature innovative optical mesh topologies with colorless and omnidirectional switching, tunable transponders, and longer span reach. They enable a converged network build-out by providing a DWDM platform that supports carrier-class TDM and Packet Switching and Photonic Switching technologies. They also lay the foundation for a Cisco IP Next-Generation Networks (NGN) that employs tunable ITU-grid optics sourced directly from Layer 3 devices, eliminating the need for transponders.

Using industry-leading Cisco reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexor (ROADM) technology in long-haul networks, you gain maximum flexibility in determining traffic patterns. As you continue to evolve your network, Cisco solutions help lower the cost per bit of traffic delivered, and let you scale bandwidth and services to meet the future needs of your customers.

Cisco IP Next-Generation Network (NGN) Architecture
The Cisco IP NGN Carrier Ethernet Design supports a smooth integration of business, residential, wholesale, and managed services over a converged IP/MPLS infrastructure. It helps you gain a competitive advantage by offering consistent and highly reliable transport of “any-play” services as part of an end-to-end medianet: an intelligent network that is optimized for media delivery.

Cisco Long Haul Solution in the Optical Metro Networks

• Because transport is the major concern here, low cost per bit and reach are the driving concerns, along with scalability for long-term growth.
• In long-haul and extended long-haul networks, new Cisco solutions grow to transmit up to 160 10-Gbps channels, or 1.6 terabits per second (Tbps).
• Complete independence between bands helps to enable carriers to optimize capacity by application for maximum flexibility and efficiency.
• As carriers continue to enhance their networks, Cisco solutions help you lower the cost per bit delivered and provide headroom for future growth
