🎙️UPCOMING WEBINAR

Circuit Emulation Demystified

A simple guide to keep TDM services in an IP world

Wednesday, April 29th  |  10:30am CDT

TDM and SONET networks are expensive (costs rising 20–30% annually), unsupported, and failing, but rural providers still depend on them for key services.  The Challenge: How do you keep services alive while moving toward an IP‑based future?

 Join us on Wednesday, April 29th, as Ribbon experts break down circuit emulation (CES/CEP) into simple, practical terms tailored for operators who must modernize without risking outages or breaking SLAs.

What to expect in this webinar:

  • Compare common TDM‑to‑IP migration paths used by rural providers.
  • Where OTN, DWDM, MPLS‑TP, & IP/MPLS overlays fit (cost and operational tradeoffs) 
  • How to retire obsolete hardware while preserving latency, sub‑50 ms protection, accurate timing, and zero‑loss failover.
  • Maintaining mission‑critical performance during phased or hybrid migrations.
  • MPLS‑TP with CES as a deterministic, transport‑grade option for utilities and SCADA networks.
  • How Ribbon’s unified platform simplifies TDM + packet operations and provides a future‑proof modernization path.
