CENX Introduces Utilization Management and Small Cell Support in Release 5
OTTAWA, February 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Enhances capacity planning and Ethernet services visualization
CENX unveiled Release 5 of the company's flagship Service Orchestration software
solution, CENX Ethernet Lifecycle Manager. Release 5 delivers enhanced Utilization
Management, which enables network planning teams to use extensive analytics to identify
network hot spots and under-utilized capacity, maximize network efficiency, and forecast
timing of CAPEX investment. CENX Ethernet Lifecycle Manager 5 also delivers scalable small
cell support, thereby providing a common Service Orchestration solution to support large
scale deployments of both microcell and macrocell technologies. With Release 5, service
providers can reduce OPEX and defer CAPEX through improved capacity planning, improve the
customer experience, and easily support and manage additional Ethernet topologies such as
small cell, Ethernet Over SONET and microwave.
News
- CENX Ethernet Lifecycle Manager 5 features new capabilities designed to
reduce OPEX, defer CAPEX, and easily support and manage small cells as part of their
Ethernet transport services.
- The enhanced Utilization Analytics module enables service providers to more
effectively manage bandwidth utilization across their network. CENX Ethernet Lifecycle
Manager 5 correlates network data and utilization statistics and identifies capacity
congestion points at a per-UNI, per-NNI and per Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) basis.
It can also identify under-utilized segments of your network, thereby enabling you to
more effectively optimize OPEX expenses.
- Release 5 brings support for new topologies including small cell, Ethernet
Over SONET, and microwave, allowing service providers to manage fault, capacity, and
performance in a single end-to-end view across a wider range of Ethernet topology
types.
- Release 5 features improved vertical scalability to support more than 100,000
microcell and macrocell sites, and enhanced horizontal scalability, thereby providing
a future-proof Service Orchestration solution.
- CENX Ethernet Lifecycle Manager 5 is expected to be available in Q2 2014.
Quotes
Ed Ogonek
CENX President and CEO
"Global service providers tell us that millions of dollars are spent each year on
premature capacity upgrades," said Ed Ogonek, CENX President and CEO. "CENX Ethernet
Lifecycle Manager 5 gives network planning teams the tools to invest in precise capacity
and performance enhancements based on what is needed, and when it is required. Our support
for small cell showcases the scalability and future-proof value of the CENX solution as a
common Ethernet transport Services Orchestration platform."
Market backdrop
- Cisco predicts that mobile data traffic will increase 13-fold between 2012
and 2017. Mobile data traffic will grow at a CAGR of 66 percent between 2012 and 2017,
reaching 11.2 exabytes per month by 2017. This highlights the need for better aligning
network capacity timing and CAPEX investment.

expects a cumulative $3.6 billion to be spent worldwide on outdoor small cell
backhaul equipment between 2013 to 2017. Deployments of outdoor small cells will be
driven largely by mobile operators' needs to enhance saturated macrocellular networks
in urban, high-traffic areas and improve the mobile broadband experience.
