Hatteras Networks carrier class Ethernet service delivery Product Family enables service providers to deliver broadband services to businesses over the existing last-mile, copper infrastructure. Hatteras' Ethernet access and transport systems allow service providers to fully leverage the benefits of offering data, voice over IP, and video services over an Ethernet network. With a low initial cost and plug-and-play installation, the product family easily scales from point-to-point applications to multi-point applications serving hundreds of customers from a single wiring center (Central Office, Remote Terminal, Pole, or Vault).

While other systems offer transport and aggregation functions, the Hatteras Product Family’s flexible architecture provides the industry’s first hardened, multi-service Ethernet system designed for the access. Hatteras products allow multiple services per port using our patented VLAN product architecture to provide both E-Line and E-LAN services as defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF). With this feature, Hatteras systems offer true Quality-of-Service going beyond the simple Class-of-Service solutions others offer today.

In cases where maximum port density is required, Hatteras' patented Virtual Node enables service providers to deploy multiple load-sharing systems as a single managed entity. Unlike other vendor offerings, our VN is managed as a single node providing a fully redundant architecture and industry leading port density.

In summary, Hatteras Networks systems provide the following benefits:

  • Completely standards-based and spectrally compatible solutions
  • Complete Quality-of-Service rather than simple class-of-service solutions
  • Complete business-grade resiliency rather than a semi-redundant system
  • Complete carrier-grade OAM on an Ethernet network
  • Ultra-compact, front access products with industry leading port density per rack unit
  • Full temperature hardening for versatile deployment
  • Plug-and-play turn up of services (ask for a live demo at your location), reduces OPEX and time to revenue
  • Patented VLAN-aware product architecture enabling multiple services per physical connection, with a smooth migration from tag stacking to MPLS
  • Sharing of single or multiple network uplinks across hundreds of customers
  • Distributed bonding of copper pairs across multiple units for ultimate business class resiliency, simplified pair management, and no stranded ports
  • Robust architecture preventing any single points of system failure using redundant, Virtual Node interconnections with distributed management control agents

Applications

With Hatteras' Product Family, service providers can economically grow their product offerings from a cost-effective point-to-point single service to larger, point-to-multipoint deployments with multiple service offerings. The illustrations below demonstrate how the Hatteras Product Family economically supports growth while efficiently adding services.

The figure below demonstrates a low-cost alternative for delivering broadband services at the fringes of the customer service area (CSA) using the HN400 series of products. This application is ideal for areas where growth is minimal or in test markets where service demand has yet to be proven.

The following illustration demonstrates how an HN4000 can be added after a success-based carrier approach to marketing is achieved and there is clear demand for high-density applications from a single wiring center (Central Office, Remote Terminal, Pole, or Vault).

Ethernet Over Copper

As customer demand grows, the HN4000 VN addresses the additional demand for connectivity from a wiring center by seamlessly integrating multiple HN4000 systems into one virtual node. Demonstrating even more versatility, the HN4000 and HN4000 VN can also be deployed in remote terminal applications as shown below.
