Mobile operators must reduce the cost-per-bit of data transport in the backhaul network while continuing to provide greater bandwidth for new high-speed data services, ensure voice quality, maintain carrier-grade OAM and provide circuit-like resilience. Carrier Ethernet technology provides a solution to these backhaul problems. With its CES portfolio, Ciena has found a way to maximize the value of Carrier Ethernet for successful backhaul services.
