As the pace of unified communications accelerates, the future is looking better and better - both for the Service Providers and Large Carriers who are deploying LTE networks and the vendors who help them manage change.
For vendors of equipment and software to these Service Providers (such as Dorado Software :) the future has also never looked brighter. For example, headlines such, "Worldwide revenue for Carrier Ethernet switches and IP routers surges" and "At Last: Ethernet Backhaul Booms for Carriers" are the opposite of canaries in a coal mine - they are signs of things to come. In addition, there is this assessment from the Ethernet Academy:
"... 17 LTE networks were launched commercially in 2010, and by the end of 2012 we expect to see 64 operators worldwide with residential and business LTE subscribers. LTE will become the single mobile network for mobile phone and mobile broadband, adopted by most of the world in the next 5 to 10 years. By 2015, LTE will likely support 100 million mobile devices and will continue to rapidly gain subscribers from the 2G/3G base."
All of this points to strong growth in the Service Provider market through 2014, as well as the vendors who supply that market.
However, significant potholes remain on the road to Valhalla. To start with, an ever-increasing demand for mobile services - via wireless phones, PDA's, and other mobile devices - means that Service providers are struggling to keep up with both bandwidth and quality demand from users who expect higher and higher levels of service. Using legacy networks that are not designed for IP traffic - not to mention a crazy-quilt of vendor solutions and manual processes - can further complicate the situation.
Another challenge facing mobile providers will be the requirement of maintaining a hybrid environment for years to come. TDM and the more traditional telco technologies will not just go away with the advent of 3GPP / LTE. The typical mobile operator will need to maintain a TDM / Ethernet environment through several device lifecycles. The interface / integration requirements for these hybrid platforms will be a challenge.
At Dorado Software we've developed the powerful Redcell solution that is proven to meet and surpasses these challenges. Already deployed - and working - in some of the largest, most mission-critical networks in the world, Redcell gives Service Providers the power to take that next step into the world of Ethernet to support their ever growing bandwidth needs.
The Redcell Carrier Ethernet solution provides a solid foundation for Service Providers to build successful, flexible and scalable offerings for E-Line, E-LAN and E-Tree services. This includes UNI as well as EVC activation and management, providing Ethernet connectivity to subscribers and offering multiple options for data transport. The system supports Quality of Service provisioning allowing Triple Play Communication (Voice, Video and Data) to run successfully over a converged network and offers a range of options to enforce their deterministic behavior.
At Dorado Software, we've spent years working on the tools and technologies to bring our customers into the future. And our customers agree: now that the future is here, it has never looked brighter.
