Modernizing Legacy SONET/SDH Networks Using Circuit Emulation

Safely and effectively transforming costly legacy networks to IP

Many of today’s service providers are still carrying traffic on networks based on decades old SONET/SDH equipment. While these network elements are still passing traffic, they are no longer supported by their manufacturer (some of which are no longer in business) increasing the risk of outages and making spares difficult to find. Equipment from that era lacks the energy efficiency of newer equipment, which results in higher energy costs along with a larger carbon footprint. As a result, the overall cost to operate these legacy networks begins to outweigh the amount of revenue they generate.

In this white paper, we’ll describe the current challenges faced by providers as well as the process of modernizing a network using CEM technology.
