Huawei's new SingleMetro platform with multi-play broadband services

Huawei has unveiled its SingleMetro platform to upgrade from triple-play to multi-play services. This platform is the latest enhancement to it's IPTime (IP Transport Infrastructure for Multi-play Experience) solution that provides backhaul for 3G and LTE services.

This platform enables enhanced QoE (Quality of Experience), improved ROI (Return on Investment) and simplified OAM (Operation Administration Maintenance).

The integrated value-added service engine (iVSE) ensures non-stop HDTV while saving bandwidth with distributed cache. The user-centered operation model designed into the platform supports inline real time service monitoring (iRSM) which is able to visualize network performance for real-time monitoring and rapid trouble shooting. The platform also integrates technologies of IP/MPLS forwarding, service routing, intelligent edge, subscriber management, video engine, content caching, security, deep packet inspection (DPI) and PS core support and other intelligent featuring.

"Service providers are rapidly transitioning to converged metro service architectures in order to effectively support the further evolution of multi-play service delivery. Huawei' s new SingleMetro platform combines the traditional service routing functions of an edge router, multiple specialized network devices such as video quality monitoring, and a cost effective metro Ethernet aggregation capability into a single platform flexible enough to support new service models. Emerging service models must include new and innovative ways to help carriers monetize and provision their network infrastructures."said Glen Hunt, Principal Analyst of Carrier Infrastructure, Current Analysis.

"The upgrade from triple-play to multi-play is more than adding new services. It' s about building the future-oriented network infrastructure that can support innovative technologies, services and business models. As part of Huawei' s All-IP convergence strategy, the SingleMetro platform reflects our long-term commitment to address the challenges and pressures of global operators through our network solutions." said Mr. Daniel Tang, Vice President of Huawei Network Product Line.
