Host

Mr. Jay Stewart
Director of Marketing, Ethernet Service Assurance, JDSU


Overview

The pressure to successfully offer Ethernet services for mobile backhaul has never been greater. The surge of mobile data traffic and the costs associated with transporting it offer significant operational and business challenges for current 3G networks and will become even more demanding and complicated as operators migrate their mobile networks to 4G.
 
To successfully offer Ethernet services for backhaul that will meet the requirements for 4G networks, providers must consider the required long-term OAM standard-based capabilities when designing their network and service offerings.
 
They must define clear methods and procedures based on these capabilities for key stages of the service life cycle, including: service installation testing, test and troubleshooting, and performance/SLA monitoring.
 
Understanding the complexities and limitations that exist with the current standards is critical to implementing a successful service assurance strategy and realizing a successfully backhaul offering that will meet the requirements for 3G and eventually 4G networks.
 
During this webinar brought to you by JDSU, Mr. Stewart will use real-world examples to demonstrate how to:
 
  • Accelerate rollout of Ethernet using a right-first-time methodology
  • Circumvent the complexities and navigate the shortfalls of the standards currently available (RFC 2544, Y.1731, 802.1ag, and  22, Y.1564)
  • Eliminate false positive results
  • Drive workforce and monitoring efficiency to hit the aggressive rate of deployment required for 3G and 4G networks
  • Increase quality while improving the bottom line.
  • Share key lessons learned from actual customer deployments regarding efficient, automated service installation testing, performance/service level agreement (SLA) monitoring, and test and troubleshooting.
