In a presentation to a Credit Suisse Investment Conference in Hong Kong last Friday, Trujillo presented a slide of NGN vendors signed which included Tellabs for "Multi-Service Edge/SDN replacement" along with the previously-named vendors: Ericsson for the 850MHz 3G network, Cisco for the IP core and Alcatel for IP DSLAMS and soft switches. According to Tellabs 2005 annual report, it has supplied its 8800 series multiservice routers to Telstra. When Telstra detailed its NGN plans at its November 2005 strategy briefing COO, Greg Winn, said: "Our next generation ethernet will provide common, carrier-grade aggregation for all traffic onto the IP core. We're going to run four times faster, while removing 750 ethernet platforms that we have out there today. It's going to be cheaper, it's going to be more reliable than our current architecture, it will support the capacity and demands of new applications more cost effectively, especially in video and IP obviously. We will simplify at the multiservice edge, with a single operating support system architecture, with an eight times speed increase. "We're going to remove over 1,000 edge devices and we're going to support the common services to our customers, regardless of the access network. So this will provide connectivity for the business customers, be it Frame Relay, ATM, ethernet over a common IP core. We will provide support for our customers who need to migrate in a timely fashion off their legacy data." |
