Alcatel-Lucent's Mobile Evolution Transport Architecture (META) is the industry's first and most comprehensive framework for mobile transport evolution to all-IP. META integrates multiple mobile transport technologies including IP/MPLS, Optical, Microwave, DSL,and GPON into an end-to-end network architecture with more intelligence, flexibility, simplicity and cost-effectiveness to successfully serve the massive growth in mobile subscribers, applications, and devices.
Profitable Evolution to Next Generation Mobile Services
To meet growing demand for enhanced mobile broadband services and to maximize profitability, today's mobile transport networks must evolve to deliver increased bandwidth at lower cost while providing the reliability and quality of experience of traditional wired networks. META is the industry's first architecture to address this network evolution by allowing the service provider to transition to a more cost-effective mobile transport network infrastructure that decouples the cost/capacity relationship enabling improved profitability.
TDM to Packet Evolution
META supports the efficient, end-to-end mobile transport of existing TDM-based and next generation packet-based mobile technologies simultaneously over any media (including fiber, copper, and wireless transport) providing flexible evolution paths for any last mile access. To help mobile service providers deliver the services their customers want, and achieve profitability and efficiency goals, META enables CDMA and GSM/UMTS providers to transform and scale their networks, leveraging existing infrastructure investments while evolving to all-IP networking at their individual business pace and with the level of QoS required.
Network Simplification and Improved Performance
META enables a profitable transition to a more cost-effective mobile transport network infrastructure that supports current services and delivers new multimedia services and applications. META provides industry leading integrated end-to-end management across multiple technology domains wireless and wireline to dramatically simplify operations and reduce operating expenditures (OPEX).
Scalable Bandwidth at Lower Cost
META allows mobile providers to support new broadband mobile services while lowering costs, achieving up to 44% Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) savings*, and improving overall network performance. To do this, META leverages the optimal cost points of Ethernet, coupled with the proven scalability, availability and service aware capabilities of MPLS, as well as customers' existing infrastructure investments to provide flexible evolution options that satisfy customers' new service demands.
Global Network Transformation Expertise
META is backed by comprehensive professional services to ensure a successful evolution to IP. As a world leader in IP network transformation with extensive experience in large accounts globally, Alcatel-Lucent provides mobile service providers with a wealth of industry leadership and services integration experience to address the needs of their customers and launch a broad variety of profitable new, IP-based services and blend them with already available services.
