NetWorks NG Transport
NetWorks Next-Generation Transport
NetWorks NG Transport is a comprehensive tool for analyzing, planning and optimizing your transport network based on IP/MPLS, Ethernet and TDM/WDM technology. It is also used for medium- and long-term strategic planning of active and passive transport network components.
The tool provides a detailed overview of your network structure. It optimizes the routing of bandwidth demands, defines the capacities and the allocation of network resources, and supports the configuration of devices. Various planning scenarios can be conveniently created and easily compared. The graphical and tabular functions and the interactive user interfaces allow you to plan your networks creatively and efficiently and to show the results clearly.
Detailed information on the NetWorks NG Transport product can be found in the flyer:
