Extreme Networks E4G product family will include E4G-200 Cell Site Router and E4G-400 Cell Site Aggregation Router that deliver 4G mobile backhaul by offering 1-10GbE scalability, integrated synchronous Ethernet ITU-G.8262, support for IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol, and carrier-class resiliency with support of Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) and ITU-G.8032 resilient packet rings.

Extreme Networks E4G-200 Cell Site Router will offer high-performance T1/E1 Pseudowire (PWE) support for 2G and 3G backhaul along with full line-rate, standards-based Gigabit Ethernet access to the resilient synchronous Ethernet mobile backhaul network.

Extreme Networks E4G-400 cell site aggregation router, also in a 1RU form factor, will come with 24 GigE ports and an optional 10G uplink. It will provide performance and synchronous Ethernet integrated timing for the most demanding of mobile broadband aggregation requirements.

The products are ActivEdge 3930 Service Delivery Switch, ActivEdge 3931 Service Delivery Switch and ActivEdge 3916 Service Delivery Switch.

The company claims that the new CESD platforms are designed to enable carriers to employ sophisticated quality of service (QoS) and traffic management to achieve deterministic performance for service-level guarantees while featuring MEF-compliant interfaces, intelligent service-aware operating software, and operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) capabilities for fault and performance monitoring and on-board service assurance.

ActivEdge 3930 Service Delivery Switch is focused on supporting the transition to high-bandwidth applications requiring sophisticated QoS capabilities, the switch can operate in high temperature, offers a range of timing and synchronization options, and provides Ethernet service delivery through high port capacity and automated traffic load-testing.

ActivEdge 3931 Service Delivery Switch offers the features of the ActivEdge 3930 in an environmentally-sealed enclosure to deliver Carrier Ethernet services in almost any environment in addition to flexible mounting options.

ActivEdge 3916 Service Delivery Switch delivers low power consumption in an all GigE compact form factor and offers faster service troubleshooting and a virtual switching architecture for better customer isolation and overall network performance.
