Carrier Ethernet buildout is a major investment, and Service Providers (SPs) need switching options that enable them to retain subscribers, attract new ones, and keep ROI timely. D-Link Carrier Ethernet Switches are tried & trusted in some of the world’s most advanced and competitive telecom markets, where their smooth deployment, superb technical specs, and operations & maintenance (O&M) simplicity bring ease to Home and Last-Mile Ethernet (ETTH/ELM) and Fiber scenarios (FTTB/FTTC/FTTN).

Why You Want It
D-Link switches deliver the standardization (SNMP, CLI, SSH) and predictability Service Providers (SP) need for a hassle-free network. Installation, operation and troubleshooting, as well as smooth interoperability between vendors and SP come naturally. In addition to this, multicast capabilities combined with VLAN, IGMP and Quality of Services (QoS) to differentiate data mean IPTV and VoIP services come seamless and interference free.
It can take over a year of steady reliable service for a telecom subscriber to become profitable, and SPs are under heavy pressure to reduce O&M costs however they can. D-Link switches have the capabilities (6kV Surge Protection, 802.1ag, Dying Gasp, Cable Diagnostics) that SPs need to retain their customers, without creating extra work for maintenance staff.
Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) are integral to how telecoms do business, and D-Link switches have end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities that SPs need to back them up (802.1Q VLAN, Voice VLAN, IGMP Snooping), that allows them to truly guarantee value-added service.
Carriers need the versatility from their vendors to scale-up and scale-down as customers dictate, and D-Link offers the solution diversity you need. From Fast Ethernet, to Gigabit Ethernet, to 10G, our switching solutions have everything covered, no matter the use case or workload.
Any complex piece of hardware can create as many problems as it solves without proper management. D-Link’s switches’ OAM features deliver visibility and control that SPs need. This allows the addressing of challenges such as monitoring & troubleshooting, connectivity checking, issue isolation and identifying customers with network problems. Networks perform as intended and as needed.
