Huawei Launches World' s First 300mm-deep 20G/40G Metro Services Platformh Tweet

Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, unveiled the industry' s first 300mm-deep IP platform with 20G/40Gbps capacity. The CX600-X1 and CX600-X2 (CX600-X1/X2) metro services platform (MSP) enable IP intelligence on metro network edge, drive convergence, improve capability and flexibility for full-service deployment and structurally reduce CAPEX and OPEX, all of which help operators to develop full-service broadband metro area network (MAN), boosting "SingleMetro, MultiPlay."

The rapid growth and increased demand for broadband services on today' s metro networks require compact, yet powerful, IP equipment that can work with massive access nodes to compensate for the lack of IP capability by traditional access equipment. Huawei' s CX600-X1/X2 MSP addresses this issue by having a compact size (220mm depth) and strong IP capability, making the platform suitable to be hosted in the same 300mm-deep cabinet as access nodes such as DSLAM, MSAN, and transmission equipment. The CX600-X1/X2, together with Huawei' s CX600-X3/X8/X16, constitute a more complete IPTime broadband metro solution that ensures fast and flexible deployment, providing more abundant and intelligent services for users.

"Service providers worry about space, power, and capacity constraints in all areas of their networks, and especially at the edge in access and aggregation areas," stated Michael Howard, principal analyst at Infonetics Research. "The 220mm depth of Huawei' s CX600-X1 and -X2 products should be attractive to providers when choosing equipment for their Ethernet business, broadband, and mobile backhaul networks."

Designed on a hardware-based, block-free switching routing platform, the CX600-X1/X2 have significant forwarding capacity of 20G/40G, which can be expanded to 40G/80G in the future. The CX600-X1/X2 have the highest chassis-based interface density in the industry, offering interfaces such as FE, GE, 10GE, E1, and CPOS, and support rich Layer 2 and Layer 3 features that enable more flexible network deployment and improved network scalability, ensuring a high quality service experience for users. The CX600-X1/X2, by supporting clock synchronization technologies, such as IEEE 1588v2, also help operators developing their mobile broadband services strategy.

"By leveraging our experience and expertise in optical transmission, access, and IP, Huawei will continue to provide leading end-to-end networking solutions to carriers around the globe and to achieve mutual success with our customers," said Zha Jun, Chairman of Network, Huawei.

Huawei has deployed more than 620 metro networks worldwide, serving the world' s top carriers, including France Telecom, Deutsch Telecom, British Telecom, Spanish Telecom, SingTel, UAE Telecom, China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom.
