Utilities

Others have connected universities, schools, and libraries over Ethernet network to improve education, and offer FTTH-based residential services to the customers they serve. Many utilities also use their fiber to transfer their internal critical mission traffic as well as backhaul SmartGrid traffic.
As these services evolve, many utilities or city carriers find that they are managing multiple networks which may include:
• a control network over SONET;
• their own internal Ethernet network,
• Ethernet services to schools,
• a fiber to the home network to residents
• wireless backhaul network which might be a mix of both T1 and Ethernet.
• SmartGrid traffic with various criticality levels
In order to simplify operations, network designers are looking for ways to collapse these networks over a single infrastructure that will scale to meet these diverse services while maintaining security, service level and reliability. This infrastructure needs to support multiple SLAs and QoS requirements on a per service, per customer basis

In order to minimize the need for training requirements, Telco Systems’ EdgeGenie makes Ethernet service management easy and intuitive. EdgeGenie uses a familiar graphical interface to provision the different services and take advantage of all the complicated OAM&P standards in an effortless way with very little training. It allows the utility to focus on the service and anticipate in advance and issues or changes that may occur in the network thus maintain the reliability associated with their brand name.
Value Proposition
