Service Provider Soundbite:At Carrier Ethernet World Congress 2011 we spoke toIbrahim Gedeon, Chief Technology Officer at Telus, aboutthe latest developments in Ethernet technology from theservice provider perspective.Ibrahim GedeonWhat are the key themes at the conference How is Telus delivering high-speed broadband What are the economics of, and how do you deal Chief Technology Officerthis year?networks?with, converged networks?TelusCloud is everywhere; it seems that if you dont mention When starting Ethernet in the mid-90s, we neverI believe the biggest economic factor is systems, andCloud youre pass, but theres some really good work provided anything but Ethernet, so ATM was only astandards on access, so if you think of Ethernet ason scalability and end-to-end service management forbackbone technology, so we stopped that frame relayaggregating mobile internet traffic content, a lot of theCarrier Ethernet, which is really great, as well as lots of for our managed service and expanded Ethernet (asstandards bodies that deal with content, with mobiletalk about Carrier Ethernet 2.0, so thats been fun.managed Ethernet) from 1995, so now it represents ourand with internet are not actually talking to each other,mobile backhaul, business solutions, IpTV and internet.as they come from different parts of the world. One ofI think one of the fundamental take-home messages Two things have happened: when you consolidate any the biggest challenges weve had is working on, fromis the fact that the MEF, with the conference, aretechnology you always get economies of scale, andan operations point of view, a single ownership of theworking on real practical solutions. The question isalso Ethernet prices have outperformed anything else access/aggregation network (which is Ethernet), andwhat next, and for some people, myself included,in terms of bit per second, so whether were lucky orthat took a lot of cultural conditioning. The other factorwere committed from the CEO downwards. In some smart its been really good for Telus from a total cost of is investment in systems; if youre not going to havecases Ethernet seems to be some small, dirty projectownership point of view. So thats what weve done; ourthe systems leverage Ethernet the same way, fromfor some other carriers, so I wish my colleagues well inmetro is Ethernet access, and our backbone is just a a networking point of view, youre losing some of thepushing that through. standard backbone, so its been very good for us.economies of scale; weve had a lot of investment in that area, and I have to admit that my IT people are simply brilliant on that front.
