Multi-protocol ADMReducing the Cost of Infrastructure using Fewer Wavelengths

Typical Point to Point Transport Solution Multi-Protocol ADM

Less Equipment, Better Utilization of your infrastructureLess Equipment = Lower Ongoing Costs (Power)Can be implemented over a wavelength or leased service

Page 19

Aggregation of services without the Ekinops Multi-Protocol ADM takes 2 line cards (source and dest) and 1 wavelength for each service type being aggregated.

Aggregation of services with the Ekinops Multi-Protocol ADM takes 1 line card for each site (regardless of number of protocols dropped) and 1 wavelength is shared across all aggregation sites.

Multi-Protocol/Rate ADM using the unique card C1008DC

Multiple service types and rates can be added and dropped off of a single 10G wavelength shared by multiple sites with only 1 muxponder at each site

Page 20

Serving Multiple Applications more Efficiently

More efficiently aggregate traffic from multiple applications using the multi-rate, multi-protocol ADM

And you can do this on 1 fiber, with fewer amplifiers

Deliver an uncompressed high definition video signal (HD)

Broadcasters need to access HD content from studios, live events (Sports, news and political conventions) and post-production companies

Although transporting SDI and HD SDI can be achieved by compressing these signals, the quality is enhanced when these signals are transported in their uncompressed format.

Ekinops 40G/s solutionPrinciples & Advantages

Page 55

40G 100GHz Muxponder ArchitectureFlexible Multiplexing and Add Drop of Lower Rates Services

The 40G 100GHz Muxponder utilizes 10G Chameleon Cards to Multiplex virtually any mix of protocols into the 40G line

Each Chameleon could be a native 10G with no lower rate services or one of the Chameleon cards with the desired multiplexing capability

Chameleon cards can be added one at a time to provide a true "pay as you grow" architecture

Each Chameleon can be a single slot or double slot depending on the mix of traffic being multiplexed. Single and Double can be mixed.

With the double wide, each underlying service can be added and dropped (ADM capability supported for each service)

Allows for a Multi-Rate, Multi-Protocol ADM into 1 40G Wavelength only requiring 1 transponder at each site

Does not require separate Multiplexing cards for rates under 10G like other 40G muxponders

Reduces hardware costs by more than 50% for complex multiplexing applications
