T-Metro 8100 is a CE2.0 compliant, modular platform that will evolve at the pace of your changing requirements, expanding service offerings in line with your business strategy.

With the ability to add blades for new capabilities, both the range of future use cases and the lifetime of the platform are extended. T-Metro 8100 is built on future-proof standards- based ATCA chassis, designed to evolve with carriers to expand their services at the pace and in the direction that best meets their business strategy.

Increase Agility and Flexibility: Rapidly deploy new services and grow at your own pace, with no need for hardware change with its flexible port count configuration. The solutions’ modular design supports multiple use cases, saving on training, support and TCO.

Reduce OPEX and CAPEX: Significantly reduce cost of deployment and management with a single, multi-use platform.
100GE MPLS Cloud-based Service Solution

Cloud-based services pose new challenges for service providers. T-Metro 8100 addresses these challenges using MPLS to provide low latency L2VPN, high availability, and end-to-end service assurance using advanced OAM tools and increased scalability.

T-Metro 8100 complements the T-Metro 8000 Aggregation and Cloud Gateway Family by driving high capacity 100GE/40GE rings into the aggregation layer to support high-bandwidth cloud applications and mobile backhaul networks. With the addition of T-Metro 8100, Telco Systems offers service providers cloud-to-edge and cloud-to-cloud end-to-end services, assuring an exceptional level of experience for the end-user while optimizing carrier resources.

L3 Support

T-Metro 8100 provides comprehensive solutions and services with native IP support, including Virtual Routing and Forwarding VRF lite, IP static routing, and dynamic routing protocols like OSPF and BGP. T-Metro 8100 also supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters, and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).

The T-Metro 8100 leverages Telco Systems’ field-proven, carrier grade BiNOX operating system – common among all its platforms – to provide a robust and advanced multi-layer software platform to support administration, and maintenance requirements. Hardware- based QoS allows for very high QoS granularity independent of physical ports or services, while an embedded test head* supports end-to-end SLA measurement and assurance. It also offers advanced OAM, supporting hundreds of services with ITU-T Y.1731 SLM, RFC 2544 and Y.1564 measuring the network performance.
