TDM-over-IP is a TDM PW technology that makes it possible to provision E3, T3, STS-1 and serial data services across IP, MPLS or layer 2 Ethernet Networks. The services provided in a manner transparent to all protocols and signaling. TDM-over-IP enables service providers to next-generation networks while continuing to provide all their revenue-generating legacy services, and without fork-lift
upgrades of end-user equipment.

An Industrial Ethernet network consists of multiple types of hosts (such as PC, Server, and SCADA/DCS Controllers) interconnected together by Ethernet switches to communicate with each other. By default, all devices in the network have an equal opportunity to transmit their data to their destinations.
-
Ethernet based Local Area Networks (LANs) have become the most prominent technology that promises to revolutionize automation communications. The advancements in Ethernet technology, from collision-prone, shared 10Mbps LAN, to collision-free, duplex 100Mbps switched LAN, and onward to 1000Mbps LAN, Ethernet technology is close to taking over the world of communications.
-
With data requirements inundating network traffic, legacy voice-centric SONET/SDH platforms no longer offer viable or cost-effective backbone solutions. Future network deployments will be dominated by Ethernet and simplified by the inevitable blurring of the boundaries between LANs, MANs, WANs and Industrial networks.
