Info / About CENX
CENX provides interconnect services for the new generation of Ethernet-based Mobile Backhaul networks and the end-to-end Carrier Ethernet Enterprise marketplaces.
Recognized by Light Reading's Leading Lights for a second successive year, CENX's Mobile Backhaul Service aggregates and translates different Ethernet backhaul services from multiple access providers to all cell sites in a given market. CENX provides a normalized Carrier Ethernet handoff to a given Mobile Operator with a ubiquitous 4G-LTE Ethernet backhaul coverage to all cell sites in that market. CENX manages the entire circuit life cycle enabling better quality of service, reduced CapEx and a level of monitoring of Mobile Backhaul service traffic that has not been feasible previously.
For Enterprise Carrier Ethernet applications, CENX is the first and most connected Carrier Ethernet Exchange delivering award-winning, carrier-neutral and collocation-neutral Carrier Ethernet Exchange interconnect services to global, regional and local telecom/internet service providers. In addition to having the largest number of active Carrier Ethernet Exchanges and connected membership, most importantly, CENX provides access to more than 15 million ESLs (Ethernet Service Locations) worldwide. CENX simplifies, integrates, monitors and expedites services, enabling vast revenue opportunities, dramatic cost-saving and Carrier Ethernet global ubiquity.
CENX's services include: flexible physical and virtual interconnect, expert service alignment, and real-time service management, together with an overarching CENX Market, a member-tailored marketplace for buying and selling service providers. These services are delivered via the CENX System: a resilient, distributed, integrated hardware and software platform located at strategic interconnection points (e.g. carrier hotels) around the world, enabling convenient connection to CENX by its service provider members. CENX fully supports all five attributes of Carrier Ethernet but also supports the integration of other Ethernet services as required.
In addition to "traditional" end-user to end-user service connections, CENX innovative implementation of Carrier Ethernet technology enables voice, IP, and other pop-to-pop exchange services to operate concurrently, over high-speed low latency connections.
Market Drivers for CENX and Carrier Ethernet
Prior to the launch of CENX, Carrier Ethernet grew mostly within each service provider’s footprint. While the need for Carrier Ethernet interconnection has risen rapidly, options have been limited to complicated one-to-one interconnections and constrained by the extraordinary time and cost of such implementation. By enabling seamless, one-to-many Carrier Ethernet service-level interconnections, CENX makes expanded Carrier Ethernet interconnection efficient and economical for its members.
Industry Leadership and Expertise
Over the last ten years, the CENX team has taken a leading role in defining Carrier Ethernet, developing Carrier Ethernet standards and the market, as well as implementing telecom interconnection through their work in the MEF and the industry. This leadership position continues on a daily basis in a variety of technical and marketing roles advancing the adoption of Ethernet services worldwide.
