Cisco today announced its ME 3400 24FS, an enhancement to the Carrier Ethernet portfolio of its IP Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) architecture. The ME 3400 Series is designed to enable operators to deliver the “Connected Life,” extending fiber-to-the-home apartment buildings and other multi-tenant units, allowing deployment of more services more quickly - with lower operational expenses and faster time-to-market, Cisco said in a statement.“With the target to cover two million households for triple-play services on our Carrier Ethernet network, quality of experience is of utmost importance. Given the growth of traffic and subscribers, working to ensure it is an ongoing challenge,” said Ricky Wong, chairman of HKBN. “These new innovations from Cisco will allow us to build on the capabilities of our existing network to help ensure that we are able to serve of customers needs now and well into the future,” he added.The Cisco ME 3400-24FS Series switch is a cost-optimized platform with a smaller form factor to deliver fiber-based networks to residents of multi-tenant units (MTUs). Its higher density is ideal for building basements and it enables pay-as-you-grow capabilities for low-population areas. It also features extended in-building reach with new flexible port options including fiber and copper and greater visibility and control of bandwidth for customized service bundles. Using the ME 3400, providers are able to offer pinpoint troubleshooting, delay-free access to personalized content and advanced entertainment service delivery unrestrained by distance, Cisco statement added.Cisco has further enhanced the IP NGN Carrier Ethernet design to bring SONET/SDH service level agreements (SLAs) to Ethernet, designed to enable extension of 50ms recovery from the core to the customer.
