1 Maximizing BENEFITS the of Broadband Cable

2 Delivering RELIABLE Broadband Services is the Problem...

3 The only option has been to create costly overlay networks that support each new service introduced in the network. -Dana Cooperson, RHK

4 COMPLEXITY The of Overlay Networks Your residential and commercial customers are demanding a world filled with unlimited high-speed services such as broadband Internet access, broadcast-quality video, IP telephony and video-on-demand. This opportunity presents you with the daunting task of efficiently and reliably incorporating these new, high-bandwidth services into your existing cable network. Your only option has been to create a costly overlay network to support each new service type. Considering all the redundant equipment, as well as the fiber and coax required to make the necessary connections, this jumble of overlay networks can evolve into a complicated tangle that ends up costing you more money than it s worth. Multiple pieces of equipment at each location waste space, power and precious capital dollars. And, you have the added headache of stocking spares, fixing and upgrading each component separately and moving equipment around to suit changing customer demands. Operational issues can mean the difference between a profitable, smooth-running service and one that cannot be introduced at all. Multiple layers of equipment typically require multiple Element Management Systems (EMSs). Extra training is required to maintain multiple overlay networks, complicating deployment and increasing service response time. If you can solve the problem of overlay networks, you will realize an unprecedented opportunity to offer business-quality access right to your customer s front door, revolutionizing everything from telecommuting to entertainment.

5 Building a Converged Multiservice NETWORK is the SOLUTION

6 Service providers and multiple system operators will derive significant operational and cost benefits by deploying converged voice, video and data networks. -Dana Cooperson, RHK

7 The SIMPLICITY Multiservice Networks of For high-speed broadband services to be cost-effective, they must be converged into a single, seamless network. FLASHWAVE advanced optical systems have proven their capability around the world. By integrating new services across your network, Fujitsu systems eliminate overlay networks. And that means less cost for you. With cable-ready, carrier-grade FLASHWAVE optical solutions, mixed broadband applications are transported over a single, high-speed network. You will see improvements in your operations, profits, reliability and, most importantly, your customers satisfaction. Whether you have standardized on Gigabit Ethernet or Digital Video Broadcast Asynchronous Serial Interface (DVB-ASI) for video delivery, Fujitsu has a broadband solution to fit your needs. FLASHWAVE optical solutions support video, data and telecom services on a single, costeffective platform that generates more revenue for you, creates greater value for your shareholders and offers more choices for your customers. Our solutions will help you get more from your network investment. By deploying elements of the next-generation FLASHWAVE 4000 multiservice SONET platform or innovative FLASHWAVE 7000 DWDM products, you can quickly introduce new services into your network. Best of all, you have a flexible, core network that is easy to monitor and manage with our NETSMART 1500 EMS. For customers who rely on Telcordia management systems, full OSMINE compliance assures you that the FLASHWAVE optical products will fit seamlessly into existing systems and management structures. With the FLASHWAVE optical platforms and NETSMART 1500 software, mixed media can be transported transparently across a single converged network for better performance and plenty of capacity for future network growth.

8 The next-generation optical networking platforms, such as the FLASHWAVE products from Fujitsu, enable service providers to converge their networks and offer multiple media affordably and reliably. -Dana Cooperson, RHK

9 Partner with an Industry Leader With more than 300,000 network elements deployed in North America, Fujitsu sets the standard for performance, reliability and carrier-grade quality. Our industry-leading Five 9s of reliability (99.999%) ensure your digital video and cable transport solutions always perform beyond your customers expectation. And, unlike many traditional cable products, Fujitsu equipment provides true carrier-grade quality, meaning even in the event of a fiber cut or card failure, the network remains operational thanks to built-in protection, redundancy and switching. Fujitsu Holds a Commanding 56% Share of the Total 2002 Metro ADM Market in North America 56% Source: RHK The FLASHWAVE 4500 multiservice, optical transport platform optimizes the simultaneous delivery of traditional and next-generation services over a broad range of metropolitan transport networks. Built-in test access support and complete performance monitoring provide true cross-connect capabilities. Next-generation functionality combines multiple Network Elements into a compact, telco-standard shelf, enabling carriers to realize immediate capital and operational savings, while expanding service offering capabilities. The FLASHWAVE 7500 all optical transport platform is optimized for metro and regional DWDM networks and supports the convergence of traditional SONET services with new revenue-generating data and wavelength services. This platform supports data, video and SAN services as well as legacy TDM with an advanced set of multi-functional optical line cards. Advanced self-tuning features eliminate the manual adjustments required on most DWDM products to save you both time and money. The FLASHWAVE 7420 managed-wavelength platform is specifically optimized for metro service providers requiring a flexible, costeffective system that will multiplex, transport and switch high-speed voice, video, data and storage applications. NETSMART 1500 is a flexible and robust network management solution that is essential to the optimization of today s complex networks. Fujitsu offers network management software that simplifies the management, provisioning and surveillance of the Fujitsu FLASHWAVE family of optical solutions.
