Enterprise and service providers want to expand their service offerings geographically but traversing different metropolitan area networks (MANs) can be extremely challenging if not impossible. Since L2 switches have no routing capabilities, switching between different network segments by stitching virtual local area networks (VLANs) together can be done but will never scale for any metro network.
L3/L2 multi-service PE Large Metro with the WaveRouter Family
We went to work to help with that. Now you can pick your WaveRouter size (12Tb/s, 24Tb/s, or 48Tb/s) and interconnecting L2 services with L3 services across multiple regions can be accomplished with the click of a mouse.
Next, let’s look at mobility and fixed access services traffic. Mobile operators are often challenged having to connect multiple metro networks together with DWDM and connecting other vendors OTN cross-connects with high-performance transponders. WaveRouter can backhaul traffic from multiple remote access services to the metro using EVPN VPLS/VPLS for enterprises and L3VPN/VRF for mobility and fixed access services.
