Overture Expands Carrier Ethernet Service Demarcation Product Line, Enhances Mobile Backhaul and Business Services Deployment Options

Overture, the preferred Carrier Ethernet edge and aggregation partner for service providers and network operators worldwide, today announced it is expanding its line of ultra low-latency, high-performance Ethernet service demarcation devices. While giving customers greater flexibility and freedom of choice, these newest additions to the Overture 2x family also preserve access to critical features like intelligent Service Level Agreement (SLA) monitoring, and produce tangible cost-savings.

"The combination of service reliability, performance, and price is vital for fiber backhaul providers like DukeNet," said David Herran, senior director of network architecture and technology, DukeNet Communications. "With the Overture 26, we were able to realize all of the above. It's a win-win for both our customers and us - our customers get the top-quality service they expect and we get an innovative, cost-effective Carrier Ethernet solution backed by Overture's demonstrated commitment to customer support."

Overture is extending its 2x Ethernet demarcation portfolio through the introduction of multiple new models, including an entry level model offering a lower cost point solution, additional customer facing interfaces, and ITU-T G.8261 syncE options for timing-critical applications. Among the new Overture 2x models being launched are:

• Overture 24SE, a high-performance, lower-cost edition of Overture's popular optical Ethernet demarcation and SLA monitoring unit.
• Overure 26RS, combining the Overture 26S functionality and the 4-port Overture 26R interfaces.
• Overture 26Y, Overture 26YS, Overture 26YR, and Overture 26YRS, adding a syncE hardware option to the entire Overture 26 product line.

"Arming customers to compete successfully in today's market means delivering innovative service management solutions with the right mix of features for the right price," said Vijay Raman, vice president of product management and marketing, Overture. "Overture's 2x product line now provides customers with additional options for achieving greater control over and visibility into the complete service performance. With a reliable and cost-effective lineup covering the complete spectrum of network timing and port configurations for business services and mobile backhaul, our customers can find the solution that best fits their precise needs."
