It is expected that this
distance will only increase over the next few years enabling delivery of Carrier
Ethernet services over much longer distances.
?– Wireless developments Wireless transmission using technologies such as FSO
and WiMax will only improve in terms of bandwidth and distance, while becoming
more attractive economically. With wireless deployment poised to explode globally,
4G and newer technologies will only proliferate to meet the demand for mobile
broadband applications.
?– Carrier Ethernet Feature improvements Competitive features for Carrier
Ethernet solutions such as ubiquity, SLAs, OAM and so on are continually being
incorporated in commercial solutions (as should be evident in Part II of this book)
and this trend will only continue. Numerous standards will be ratified shortly or in
the near term (discussed at some length in Chapter 2) and further the acceptability
of??”and demand for Carrier Ethernet.
As noted in Chapter 2, Security will inevitably be addressed either in commercial
solutions itself or as an adjunct to the Carrier Ethernet delivery solutions. The MEF
has already begun discussing this aspect.
