Future Ready. Today .

Today’s world is dynamic, fast paced and rapidly changing. It is no longer sufficient to plan for today, for tomorrow may bring in something new, unexpected and challenging. Tejas Networks empowers you to meet the needs of today with solutions that are designed with a vision of the future.

Tejas Networks’ promise of making customers ‘Future Ready. Today’ is based on the strengths of the company in understanding and anticipating the needs of telecom customers in the fastest growing telecom markets of the world and the ability to build adaptable telecommunication technology to meet current and future needs.

Tejas Networks’ products are today deployed in over 50 countries around the world. Tejas is a dominant player in the Indian telecom market, which is the fastest growing market in the world. Apart from this, it is also a market where the business models of telecom operators need to constantly adapt to growing scale and falling price (ARPU) in order to remain profitable. Tejas’ technologists have built products to meet the needs this market and that knowledge has been used in catering to the needs of many emerging markets, who are at a similar stage of telecom evolution.

Tejas Networks’ products are developed based on a fully programmable product platform, implemented using a combination of network processors, programmable semiconductor devices (FPGAs) and embedded processors. This product flexibility is manifested in several ways, examples being –

• Software programmable service interfaces for TDM, packet and OTU services
• Flexible combination of switching fabrics between TDM, packet and OTU, determined by traffic mix
• Flexible transport of services over TDM or packet network infrastructure on the same platform
• Flexible choice transport protocols (SONET, SDH/SONET, PBB, PBT, MPLS-TP) on the same platform

All of these provide a unique solution (Tejas’ Future Proof Transport Architecture – FPTA) to future-proofing of carrier networks. FPTA provides a programmable solution which is designed to meet the needs of carriers today, while providing service providers a migration path to meet the emerging service needs of tomorrow. Networks built on these products can be upgraded seamlessly to support new capabilities, such as the migration from carrying data over TDM (Ethernet over native SDH/SONET) to carrying TDM over data (E1/T1 circuit emulated over Ethernet) in a graded fashion. This enables the transition to a much more cost-effective packet-based transport, when data traffic becomes dominant in the network.

A phased transition process is illustrated here with the carrier upgrading to Ethernet-based 3G backhaul network in a manner that leverages their existing installed base, without having to resort to wholesale network disruptions while supporting these services. In this example this is achieved through the addition of a Carrier-Ethernet service card (ELAN04) to an existing POTP (TJ100ME) network element and reprogramming the switch fabric and PDH traffic processing logic.
