Heavy Reading Highlights Corrigent's Leadership in Packet-Based Metro Transport Networks

Posted on: Monday, 19 December 2005, 09:00 CST

Corrigent Systems, a leading provider of Packet ADM (Add Drop Multiplexer) for next-generation transport networks announced today that a most recent Heavy Reading report credited Corrigent with leadership in the rapidly growing market for transport equipment that supports migration from circuits to packets, and provided evidence that the market is endorsing Corrigent's migration model.

Heavy Reading's "SONET/SDH-to-Ethernet Migration Strategies" report from December 2005 provides comprehensive survey of leading telecommunications carriers and details their plans for migration to a packet-optimized transport network. Tier 1 telecom carriers in the US and Europe are profiled and their network plans are discussed.

While almost one third of the carriers responding to the survey said they will continue to expand their networks with existing Multi-Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPPs), another third of the respondents now say they plan to evolve their SONET/SDH network with newer packet-optimized MSPPs. About 80% of all respondents agreed that emulation of TDM circuits is important or essential to enable transition to packet transport. The report concludes that Packet MSPPs, that provide packet-based multiservice transport through emulation of TDM circuits and multi-protocol interworking, will gain steam as a key metro element in carriers' network evolution.

The report credits Corrigent and its CM-100 product line as the industry's first Packet MSPP based on RPR, MPLS and SONET/SDH, offering a clear path for carriers' migration to true Ethernet transport. The report concludes that the market is now endorsing Corrigent's network migration model.

Corrigent's CM-100 is a 10Gbps packet transport solution, allowing carriers to build a packet-optimized and converged metro transport network that can scale to accommodate the growth in packet traffic, but at the same time support all existing TDM traffic and carriers' present mode of operation in their evolving transport networks.
