Background Information

1. This service provider provide full range of telecommunication services including telephone services, guaranteed access to Internet, access to electronic trading and information systems, organization of corporate and technological communications networks.
2. Its customers include big telecommunication operators, Internet providers, telephone companies, banks, hotels, exhibitions, embassies, trading houses, public and educational institutions, industrial enterprises and research institutions, mass media

Issues and Demands

1. Most of its Metro network sites and switching equipments are placed underground, and therefore the space for these equipments is limited.
2. The last-mile converter chassis switches in the underground network sites occupied too much place, used too many power lines, and emitted too much heat.
3. The existing switching infrastructure cannot monitor and control the last-mile equipments (e.g. media convertors) unless technicians are sent to visit on site which are a waste time and burden on human resources.
4. Need Metro access optical switches with higher ports-per-chassis density, high manageability and easy maintenance by minimal staff.

Solution Provided
