Hutchison Optel Utilizes Xelerated Network Processor
Jun 16, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
Xelerated, a provider of Carrier Ethernet ASSP-based chipsets, announced that Hutchison Optel has chosen the X11 Network Processor Unit (NPU) for deployment in its Mss family of PTN products.
The X11 is a high-function NPU which enables Hutchison Optel to extend its entire portfolio of Metro Ethernet products, including Access, Aggregation and Core, into the next generation of packet aware transport systems. This allows Hutchison Optel to converge native TDM services with Carrier Ethernet services, providing customers with a future proof roadmap and the efficient delivery of new services.
The company stated that, built on Xelerated's patented dataflow architecture, the X11 provides wirespeed, deterministic performance, ultimately enabling network equipment vendors to build out carrier-class systems while reducing capital and operational expenditures. The NPU cuts down on research and development efforts while minimizing risk, and accelerating time-to-market. A software-based solution, the X11 also allows for in-service upgrades, reducing upgrade time and resulting in short and long-term cost savings.
"The X11's unique wirespeed processing enables our customers to converge their native TDM services with newer Carrier Ethernet services. This allows us to efficiently carry packet-oriented services and provides a future proof roadmap for our customers," said Wang Honglian, R&D director at Hutchinson Optel. "Xelerated is well-known for its ability to enable Carrier Ethernet, and that's exactly what they're doing for us and our customers. We are proud to work with such a leader on this deployment."
Hutchison Optel's Mss series of products allow operators to simultaneously deploy Ethernet services alongside traditional TDM services. Specially designed for converged traffic and large traffic access in Metro Networks, these products support both network and hardware protection and offer a high level of scalability, allowing for the future evolution of its General Grooming Switching platform technology.
"We are excited to be serving one of the leading providers of optical networking solutions," said Christer Rydberg, general manager of greater China for Xelerated. "Hutchison Optel's emphasis on extending Ethernet-based access and aggregation corresponds well with Xelerated's focus on an all Ethernet-based solution for carriers."
