An Infonetics survey suggests the optical 40G craze will be short-lived, as expected. The study confirmed that 40Gbit/s is being viewed as a stopgap, something to be replaced by 100Gbit/s once the latter is more widely available. Schmitt has been arguing for a couple of years that the 40Gbit/s generation will be a short one.

If a new Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) project bears fruit, cable operators might be able to delay costly fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments, or even avoid them altogether.

Operator covered 74 million PoPs with LTE at the end of 2011 with 11 new markets launched, including congested areas such as San Francisco and NYC. AT&T also closed the year with more than 80 percent of its total mobile traffic on Ethernet backhaul, and Stankey said its 3G network performance has stabilized.

The year 2011 marks the tenth anniversary of the MEF, and what a whirlwind decade it has been for global business and telecommunications. Ten years of economic ups and downs, of soaring bandwidth demands, increasing competition and downward price pressures--but through it all, Carrier Ethernet services and equipment sales continue to forge ahead. For service providers, in particular, this has been more than just a piece of good news in a drab economic outlook--because the growth in Carrier Ethernet promises a much-needed tonic for the telecom industry and significant new opportunities. The benefits offered by a vigorous market in Carrier ...

On April 12 and 13, 2011, Light Reading will be hosting its annual Ethernet Europe event at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square Hotel. A record number of 17 service provider experts from 16 operators and exchange players will be speaking at the event.
