Nokia Siemens Networks' carrier grade cost effective Carrier Ethernet switches provide scalable traffic engineered Ethernet services delivery capabilities while emphasizing simple operation and network administration.
The industry innovative capabilities of the MEF compliant A-series switches family, optimized for Business and Mobile Backhauling applications, extends carriers' network to deliver new competitive revenue-generating Ethernet services. Along with Next Generation FlexiPacketSwitch and ASPEN products it provides best of breed E-LAN and E-Line end to end solution, assuring service availability and manageability.
The FlexiPacketSwitch products offer a MEF compliant platform for the converged Mobile Backhauling, Business and Residential Services networks allowing sharing of network resources, thus saving total cost of ownership. FlexiPacketSwitch family enhances the A-series switches with high bandwidth, port dense switches providing scalable services while aligning to the emerging MPLS-TP standard.
Industry leading Ethernet Service Management platform - ASPEN, simplifies the service provisioning, service activation, fault management and SLA management for the Ethernet services across all the managed devices. Open APIs are also offered for complete integration with the service provider OSS and network management systems.

A-Series Carrier Switches:
Nokia Siemens Networks' range of A-Series Carrier Switches combines the performance and flexibility of Ethernet with the reliability of TDM. Our switches support a variety of services - all with guaranteed end to end 'hard' quality of service ( QoS ). A further benefit is the user-friendly ASPEN Network Management System. This supports daily operations without the need for highly skilled telecommunication experts.

Reduced OPEX through ASPEN network management
ASPEN simplifies the service provisioning, service activation, fault management and Service Level Agreement management across the entire network. ASPEN's 'point-and-click' network management hides complexity and delivers lower OPEX for customers in the following ways:
• Reduced cost of deployment
• Reduced cost for maintenance
• Reduced cost for service creation
• Reduced cost of service assurance
• Less configuration errors
• Less time and therefore cost needed for training

Deliver guaranteed service quality
A-Series Carrier Ethernet Switches and ASPEN network management deliver end-to-end traffic assurance and service availability. 4 service priorities can be assigned easily with flexible service mapping to provide 'hard' quality of service, ensuring:
• Committed Information Rate (CIR)
• Very low delay (latency) and delay variation (jitter)
• No packet misordering
In addition A-Series utilizes provisioned fast reroute for sub-50ms link and node protection. End-to-End Path Protection (EEPP) at the service level protects against path failure/s. The main and alternate paths are both traffic engineered to fully ensure the service quality without degradation.
Our joint venture with Juniper Networks
Nokia Siemens Networks has extended its long standing and successful partnership with Juniper Networks by forming a joint venture. The joint venture will combine the full benefits of Juniper's MX-series products with our A-Series switches and ASPEN one-click network management. This will allow customers to build the most efficient packet infrastructure with open, standard technology, providing state-of-the-art scalability, availability, QoS and network management.
