BTI Systems Intros packetVX Integrated Ethernet Service Modules for BTI 7000 Series
 TMCnet Contributing Editor
BTI Systems today announced that it’s launching the “packetVX Integrated Ethernet Service Module” family for its BTI 7000 Series platform.
Designed to deliver density and converge Ethernet service connectivity with WDM networking, the modules offer increased flexibility for delivering IPTV  , triple play Ethernet business and wholesale services and 4G wireless backhaul, company officials say.
Michael Howard ( News - Alert), a principal analyst at Infonetics Research, said that Ethernet traffic volumes are growing at a rapid pace as service providers, enterprises, government and healthcare organizations turn from circuit-based TDM networks to Ethernet-based WAN environments. He said that in 2007, the industry saw Ethernet equipment sales rise 27 percent.
Howard also said that the simplicity and flexibility of Ethernet, combined with its scalability and cost advantages, result in significant operational and business value when compared to ATM or SONET/SDH.
BTI officials said that the packetVX modules support the continuing growth service providers and enterprises are seeing as bandwidth-intense Web 2.0/Service Oriented Architecture enterprise strategies and applications increase bandwidth requirements. They say that packetVX provides network administrators with carrier-grade performance for mission-critical applications. This addresses latency and jitter performance associated with traditional network infrastructures and standards-based solutions with copper and fiber Ethernet aggregation capabilities, according to the company.
BTI Vice President Solutions Marketing Gary Southwell said that regardless of what the next big application will be, users can count on it requiring larger, more intelligent bandwidth. He said that Ethernet-enabled WDM solutions optimize the network for packet delivery while simplifying network management and providing carrier-grade solutions. The packetVX modules in the BTI 7000 Series has the ability to provide tremendous value when delivering feature-rich services, Southwell said.
