3. Carrier Ethernet ready for a fight – SONET/SDH may be losing ground Explore CEN Feature (Jun 14 2011) Metro Ethernet , Other analysts In the first installment in this series, we reported that service provider CapEx spending on Carrier Ethernet equipment seems to be overtaking spending on SONET/SDH in transport applications and that the respondents overwhelmingly (nearly 100 percent agreement) indicated support for Carrier Ethernet in the access portion of the network, while closer to 80 percent support its use in the core. This week, we will analyze the results of one of the key questions. (Read Full Article)

11. What Must Happen for Carrier Ethernet to Replace SONET/SDH at the Network Edge? Explore CEN Feature (May 4 2011) Business Ethernet As we mentioned last week, we have been hearing from a number of our readers that they are frustrated that there is little information available about how service providers and their customers view Carrier Ethernet as a technology to replace SONET/SDH in their transport and access networks – so we decided to do something about it. The Carrier Ethernet News team developed the short online survey for service providers that takes five minutes to complete and asks just 12 questions about Carrier Ethernet as a SONET/SDH displacement technology. If you are a service provider, we want to know how ... (Read Full Article)
