Pseudowire Access Gateway
With the Fusion A10, service providers can convert any packet access network (Carrier Ethernet, broadband wireless, cable HFC, xDSL, PON, etc.) into a full-service alternative to TDM access and Layer 2 services, such as Frame-Relay, ATM and HDLC.
- Mobile service providers can significantly reduce their operational expenses by replacing costly leased line access and avoiding multiple overlay networks.
- Wireline service providers are able to preserve customer revenue from traditional services while migrating to next generation networks.
- Carrier Ethernet service providers gain immediate new revenue opportunities by offering profitable traditional services such as T1/E1 private line and PBX voice backhaul, as well as advanced Ethernet services.
