Siemens is bringing DWDM solutions to new market segments

4. Challenges in deploying new advanced services
High-bandwidth, real-time applications will stretch current legacy metro infrastructure past the breaking point ?
Metro DWDM is the technology of choice, but current offerings are often cumbersome, less economical, and less robust than needed
Our customers have been finding the “pressure point” for bandwidth moving closer to the user:
a) As new bandwidth-hungry services such as IPTV, Video on Demand, and network-based gaming become more mainstream, providers are finding it difficult, slow, and costly to provision new capacity and routes within the current ATM and SONET networks. And as the system scales, managing it becomes more complex.
b) While “metro DWDM” has been considered “the technology of choice” our customers have told us they ran into much higher costs than expected for the initial build, and even higher operational cost once deployed. Metro DWDM offerings that were available tended to have low or non-existent degree of automation, and lack the robustness of a long haul optical backbone.
This isn’t just an issue of service providers.
We are finding it is also the challenge of enterprises who want to solve the bandwidth problem for a campus or wide area network.
Today’s legacy metro backbone is an ROI drain
for advanced services

5. Siemens A leader in Long Haul ROADM optical

SURPASS hiT 7300 builds upon hiT 7500 LH DWDM success
#1 market share for Long-Haul DWDM ROADM in 2005 and 2006 YTD
Currently more than 2000 network elements up and running globally
Siemens sought a way to leverage our proven Long Haul, Ultra Long Haul DWDM offering to address the metro challenge of our customers.
In next generation long haul DWDM, Siemens is a leader.
According to Infonetics Research ranked Siemens number one 2Q06 globally.
Siemens has more market share YTD than the next five competitors combined.

6. Siemens optical design philosophy
EASY TO USE
Speed of deployment
Highly automated
Planning tools
2. FLEXIBLE
“Extreme configurability”
3. COST EFFECTIVE
Low cost for initial build
Easily scalable
From the start, Siemens’ design philosophy for Optical DWDM was intended to put our customers back in control.
We designed our optical products prioritizing ease of use, flexibility, and the ability to deploy cost effectively.
) Easy to Use
Planning tools that make it easy and fast to plan, install, upgrade
High degree of automation
--Transparent transport (you don’t have to do an electrical conversion at every node)
--Carrier class management – all the performance monitoring, alarm supervision, fault isolation - - everything you need to manage the network has to be there - allows insight where the signal is and where the problems are
Prioritized the speed of deployment of a metro system - with the power of a long haul system
2) FLEXIBILITY
- “Extreme configurability” means that users are able to configure the same platform to fit different applications perfectly - metro, regional, and long haul applications .
At the high end, Siemens is the only vendor actually deploying 40Gig networks today.
At the low end, there are a lot of vendors in the metro environment. Though they try to stretch their performance to 1000 kilometers and 32 channels, they tend to run out of gas as they scale.
Siemens is design philosophy was to provide customers with a platform that can be used from short range CWDM all the way to 40G high end range.
3) COST EFFECTIVE
The system allows for a low entry cost point for the initial build. The system can scale without disruption and remains cost effective as it does.

Features
Benefits
Resulting in
Reduced O-E-O conversion – reduces OpEX and CapEx
Minimize CapEx for initial build due to future-proof and scalable network design
Interconnection nodes / PXC
R-OADMs
Enables a true optical (transparent) mesh network, minimize number of electrical regeneration
Flexibly add/drop traffic at interim stations
Flexible multi-haul platform
SONET-like SLA
G.709 OTH support
l– routing capable planning tool
Addresses different distance/bandwidth requirements
Support all types of applications and protocols
End-to-end management and performance monitoring for all services
Hands-off service provisioning by remote wavelength switching + upgrade, manual intervention only at service end-points
Maximize new revenue opportunities
Minimize human effort for service provisioning and operation- reduced -OpEX
We designed the SURPASS hiT7300 consistent with our vision for a “transparent optical network”.
Regardless of the topology, our methodology enables you to only configure end points.
The interim nodes become transparent and remotely configurable, and don’t need additional equipment in the middle.
The result is that you have less RESOURCES involved in managing the network, and a faster time to market.
Managing a lot of segments drives cost; the Siemens SURPASS hiT 7300 platform reduces that cost.
All these features are enablers for a true optical (transparent) network.

Let’s look at how an easy to use, highly flexible, cost effective DWDM platform can impact a customers’ operation for a region they manage.
While some vendors claim that “provisioning” can happen in a day, often they are referring only to one step or domain.
There are several steps required to being able to provision a new service, and what happens today is that each step requires its own provisioning effort. To simplify, Siemens has reduced the effort:
Customer Request –
First question to be answered: Can the traffic request be fulfilled?
Most planning tools can only handle only one domain.
Siemens’ simplified the effort with the hiT planning tool that can look across the entire network, across multiple domains.
Hardware
Today’s process often is a logistics challenge to get the right hardware.
Siemens simplified with:
Tunable lasers so that one transponder can handle the whole range.
Pluggable optics minimize spare pool
Plug in network components
Automation
Automatic self test
Automatic commissioning
Fully automated link control: balance channel power in remote (R)OADMs by VOAs
