"Delivering Carrier Ethernet: Extending Ethernet Beyond the LAN"


Mid-Band Ethernet allows for ???pay as you grow??? deployment of electronics rather than
up-front major capital and construction projects. And as part of a transparent Ethernet
service, it operates in conjunction with the existing Ethernet services and management
infrastructure. The footprint of the carrier Ethernet networks is extended tenfold to the
90 percent of customers who don??™t have fiber access, offering a high-margin revenue
opportunity to any wireline service provider.
When Does This Solution Fit
Mid-Band Ethernet technologies are ideal for delivering high-speed, resilient connections
to residential or business customers from any metro Ethernet network. Mid-Band
Ethernet requires access to the in-place copper loops from a distribution site (for example,
a central office or remote terminal) to business or residential locations. They are,
therefore, mostly targeted at allowing incumbent or competitive telephony providers
to deliver next-generation Ethernet services. However, Mid-Band Ethernet also has a
very attractive multi-tenant application that can be used by any carrier to distribute
services within existing buildings.
