Uncompressed HD SDI Video Transport over Optical Networks

Broadcasters have been upgrading their networks to broadcast more channels in HD but to complete this picture, the broadcasters themselves need to access HD content from studios, live events and production companies. Although transporting SDI and HD SDI can be achieved by compressing these signals, the quality is enhanced when these video signals are transported in their uncompressed format.

TDM aggregation enables cost-effective backhauling from the network edge

Efficient backhaul solution is a key element to success in every broadband network. The challenge, however, is not necessarily in finding a backhaul solution - there are several options available, but in today's economy, the challenge lies in choosing an efficient and cost effective backhaul solution.

 Read about Ekinops' unique approach that not only alleviates the limitations of competing approaches, but also provides lower cost, higher scalability, and greater flexibility.

10G LAN to WAN PHY Conversion

Many operators are faced with the challenge of connecting a client's 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch to the operator's existing SONET, SDH or DWDM infrastructure. While most of the equipment sold today support both 10G LAN and 10G WAN interfaces some older generation equipment only supports 10G WAN interfaces (OC-192/STM-64).

 Ekinops' PM1001PC is a 10G LAN PHY to WAN PHY protocol converter that helps carriers overcome this challenge. It is a stand-alone and extremely cost-effective solution for connecting 10 Gigabit LAN switches to 10G WAN interfaces in SONET/SDH and DWDM networks.

SAN Applications

Many industries are required by both regulatory and business needs to implement a plan for disaster recovery and business continuance. These plans call for data replication of critical information across a geographically dispersed storage area network (san). Data replication requires a transport system that can handle large amounts of data.
