Benefits:
Composite
Services Over
Fiber
Fully Programmable – Allows for creation of new services quickly
(Deliver Services Faster)
Fully Programmable – Can be programmed in the field to adapt to new
service types (Deliver Services Flexibly)
Ease of Manufacturing – Fewer chips on the board
(Deliver Services Faster)
Lower Power Consumption – Fewer chips to draw power (Deliver
Services more cost effectively)
Less Space – Cheaper to house equipment (Deliver Services more cost
effectively)
In general, fewer chips = lower cost

Reducing Network Cost
Where should you look to optimize transport network costs?
 Reduce your cost of infrastructure





Choose lower cost fiber
User fewer fibers
Minimize Required Wavelengths
Eliminate amplifier sites or the need for amplifiers at all
Preserve existing hardware and infrastructure investment
 Reduce your Capital Costs
 Make sure equipment is not overkill for your application
 Look for platforms designed to lower initial costs with the ability to scale


If you need amplifiers, scalable amplifier technologies
If you need ROADMs, scalable ROADM technologies
 Lower cost technologies for 40G
 Reducing ongoing costs
 Elimination of unnecessary amplifier sites
 Look for lower power consuming systems
 Operational conveniences like automated power management

Reducing the cost of Infrastructure
Single fiber capabilities
Innovations on the Market
 No need to ever use 2 fibers again!
 In the Past, Support for 8 or
16 wavelengths if at all
 32 wavelength support
available today
DWDM network
Over a pair of fiber
72 wavelength available in
September
Chassis with an
Optical Combiner module
DWDM network
Over a single fiber
Chassis with an
Optical Combiner module
 Technology comming soon
for 144 wavelengths… over a
single fiber!

Reducing the Cost of Infrastructure
Using Fewer Wavelengths
 Typical Point to Point Transport Solution
 Ethernet Layer 1 ADM Solution
Inconvenients of
the solution
Less Equipment, Better Utilization of your infrastructure
Less Equipment = Lower Ongoing Costs (Power)
Can be implemented over a wavelength or leased service

Reducing the Cost of Infrastructure
Longer Distance, Fewer Amplifiers
 Combination of better FEC and amplifier technologies
help transport systems go further cheaper
 FEC transitioning from 6-8dB to 10dB or more today
Advanced FEC combined
with newer Amplifier
technologies
 Longer distances without Inline
Amplifiers
 Fewer Amplifiers when amplifiers
are needed
• Evaluate delta terminal costs
vs cost of inline amp sites
Up450km
to 300Km
- 500km
with Full
Channel Counts
Also reduces ongoing costs

 Longer Distances over poor fiber
• Evaluate delta fiber costs vs.
Additional cost of route

Reducing the Cost of Infrastructure
Preserve Existing Hardware Infrastructure Investment
 Legacy System Interoperability, Upgrade
 Interoperate with existing systems in the ground
Interoperability can be via Foreign Wave or via Native Ethernet/SONET/SDH
• The Power of a Standard, programmable line side protocol


Multi-Protocol ADM allows for Daisy Chaining of Sites to Provide an Ethernet ADM Capability and
Reduce Waves
Combine that with 1 Fiber Capability to Reduce Fibers in fiber constrained or leased environments

Lan Phy to Wan Phy Conversion
PM 1001PC
 If an STM-64 is all that is available, no need to buy an
expensive Wan Phy Interface for that Router
