Ethernet Service over SDH CE2007 Slide 3 Growing demand for Ethernet L2 services Source: Heavy Reading Global Carrier Ethernet Service Provider Survey, 2H 2006, 163 operators worldwide. Ethernet Access Devices Will Play A Key Role In Driving Growth Expected Revenue Performance in 2006

Ethernet Service over SDH CE2007 Slide 4 Profitable Ethernet Services The Challenge: Ethernet Services are relatively lower cost services Metro Ethernet does not reach all locations SDH/PDH networks are widely available. How can it be used to deliver carrier class Ethernet services? Providing profitable Ethernet service!!! The Solution: Carriers providing low cost Ethernet services, over the available access networks, while maintaining profitability and generating new profits Enterprises and Utilities can utilizing the available SDH for new Ethernet based applications Leasing low cost transmission from 3 rd party in order to reach more customers – extend the reach of existing services
