2 Revitalise Your SDH Investments

3 On-Going Commitment to SDH The world is changing. You need to keep in touch with the times. You ve got to move ahead. You ve heard it all before usually when someone wants you to abandon the very technologies that got you where you are today. Although we ll be the first to admit that nothing lasts forever, SDH is going to be around for a long time to come. And that s why we continue to develop innovative SDH solutions that do much more than just keep pace with developments. We actually set the pace for our industry. Tellabs 6300 Managed Transport Systems Breakthrough Next- Generation SDH Solutions that Deliver Profitable Data Services Now Meeting the Challenge of Converged Networks Today s telecommunications operators face two major challenges. First, yesterday s technology just isn t geared for today s business needs. And at the same time, operators cannot afford to replace entire technologies. Next, there s the constant pressure to improve the price/performance ratio. Quite simply, expenses are increasing faster than income. And the revenue per transported bit is rapidly decreasing. SDH was designed to carry voice efficiently, but the majority of traffic being carried in today s transport networks is data. And with data traffic growth rates at % a year, there is an enormous mismatch between the capabilities of the network and the demands being placed on it.

4 Use Your SDH Network to Deliver Broadband Data > Deliver profitable new data services through your existing transport platform. Explosive Growth in Data Traffic We don t need to give you statistics on the increase in data traffic. You know better than anyone what s happening in your market. And you are also perfectly aware that the increase in service demand is not automatically accompanied by a proportional increase in revenue. In other words, operators who provide data services are expected to deliver better broadband services, but they get a lot less for their efforts. There are three ways to increase profitability. The first is to avoid unnecessary or redundant capital expenditures. The second containers, data traffic is easily and efficiently transported together with circuitoriented traffic, e.g. leased lines. The greatest advantage is also the most obvious: why invest in an additional network when you can get more out of your current investment? Using the Tellabs 6300 managed transport systems, you can easily leverage your existing optical network into a costefficient, fully converged data and voice services infrastructure. Moreover, our scalable expansion ensures that you only buy what you need, which keeps costs low and return on investment high. Tellabs 6310 Edge Node STM-1, STM-4 add/drop multiplexer and terminal multiplexer Access and customer premises applications Complete SDH feature set Very high density and small footprint Support of carrier-class data services is to provide value-added services services that can create big profits from small investments. And the third way is to customise operations and reduce the need for manual intervention. Here s how Tellabs helps you achieve all three of these key goals. Choosing the Right Data Transport Technology Instead of pure overlay networks in which data and voice are transported side by side on two separate networks, next-generation SDH equipment from Tellabs uses the same network, adding data-aware interfaces at the network edge. By packaging data in virtual Differentiated Services Existing leased line business is under pressure these days from a number of sources. The greatest threat in many markets is coming from new entrants who specialise in providing low-cost data services. Here s how you can respond. The innovative Tellabs Ethernet solution makes it possible to offer Ethernet Private Lines (EPLs) or even Ethernet Private Networks (EPNs). The Tellabs 6300 systems make it easy to adjust bandwidth allocation in these EPNs so they are tailored to meet the needs of individual customers. For businesses, bandwidth can be dynamically stepped in 2 Mbit/s increments from 2 Mbit/s for small companies all the way up to 1 Gbit/s for large organisations such as financial institutions. What s more, these Ethernet solutions offer superb Quality-of- Service (QoS) thanks to Tellabs unique implementation based on Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). Finally, this wide range of options makes it possible to offer individually tailored Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to subscribers. In short, it s a great way to increase your competitiveness, as your customers never have to pay for more than they need.

5 Faster Provisioning Of course dynamic bandwidth provisioning sounds fine on paper, but what happens in real life? Well, thanks to our centralised network management, when a customer calls to adjust his capacity to a higher or lower rate of utilisation, it takes but a minute to make the change. Best of all, this can be done without changing the physical Ethernet interface to the network, so there s no need for extra personnel, equipment, or site visits! Customers, who often expect to wait days or even weeks before their requests can be carried out, will be pleasantly surprised by this higher level of service. Of even greater importance, the Tellabs solution ensures your network capacity is always fully exploited. As opposed to, say, a traditional all-router overlay solution which reserves a fixed amount of bandwidth for a customer whether he s using it or not, our dynamic provisioning ensures that capacity is always optimised. In other words, you can serve more customers without increasing your capacity or decreasing your service quality, thus deferring expensive upgrades and expansion. And what does all this mean? Faster time-to-revenue!

The Tellabs 6300 series can implement EPL services using EoSDH, EoMPLS or combinations hereof. > Ethernet Private Network Generic term for the Ethernet LAN switched multipoint to multi-point services implemented by the Tellabs 6300 managed transport systems. A simple implementation of an EPN service is a set of EPLs that connect the subscribers to a common virtual Ethernet switch within the operator network.

6 Break the Cost Curve with Distributed Transport Switching > The distributed transport switching network architecture is extremely efficient for handling the growth of broadband data traffic at the edge of the network, offloading the larger cross-connects located in the core network. Identifying Growth Areas If a network is to be truly profitable, its architecture must be tailored to reflect current traffic growth patterns. Today, most growth is related to metro access, and it s here at the network edge that the service interfaces are located and the network changes are frequent. It is also here the initial traffic processing takes place. And this is exactly why Tellabs next-generation SDH technology lets you position network intelligence closer to the edges through stateof-the-art distributed transport switching. Centralised or Distributed? That s the Question There is always a choice to be made when it comes to connectivity in the network. In centralised structures, such as a voice network, traffic is usually backhauled to a central office where the telephone exchange is also located. With an increasing amount of broadband data traffic, there is no obvious reason to backhaul all of it to the telephone exchange. It is far more efficient to adopt a distributed structure, where the data traffic continues directly to its destination without having to visit the central office along the way. Tellabs 6345 Switch Node STM-1, STM-4, STM- 16, STM-64, ADM, and 4/4/1 SDXC Very scalable high density multi-service provisioning platform for metropolitan and regional networks Interfaces for 2 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s Support of carrier-class data services Greater Efficiency A distributed transport switching architecture is achieved by installing high density 4/4/1 cross-connects such as the Tellabs 6350 switch node or the Tellabs 6345 switch node at the edge of the network, thus reducing the need for bandwidth and switching capacity in the core of the network. That s because the core network no longer has to handle local broadband data traffic and the regional and longdistance transmission pipes are thus used more efficiently thanks to better grooming capabilities at the edge of the network. Distributed transport switching is also easy to scale, which allows you to pay as you grow so capital expenditures are kept in line with your needs and revenue. And our centralised network management ensures fast and easy provisioning, operation, and management of the entire system, decreasing operational expenses. The result is a cost-effective, high-speed metro access network design that helps you get more out of your existing SDH investments, leverage edge-centric data trends, and break the cost curve once and for all.

Coloured interfaces can be introduced to the Tellabs 6300 SDH nodes to enable direct interfacing to WDM links. Build a > Market liberalisation opens up attractive new business opportunities. A New Breed of Carrier's Carrier The days of national telecommunications monopolies are over. And many organisations that have deployed fibre for their own communications needs suddenly find themselves with a potentially profitable asset. Not surprisingly, public utilities, railroads and many others have entered the telecommunications arena as carrier s carriers to provide voice and data infrastructure to other operators. Success, though, depends on more than just access to fibre. It also depends on the choice of transport technology. The Tellabs 6300 managed transport systems have been designed to provide seamless integration of data and voice services as well as SDH and DWDM technologies all in a scalable, flexible, and highly manageable network design. This enormous range of flexibility gives greenfield operators unprecedented freedom to enter virtually any market. They can provide business leased line services, or even become full-fledged carrier s carriers. Best of all, Tellabs commitment to pay-as-yougrow allows newcomers to exploit their licenses at an economically viable pace. After all, there are enough investments to deal with, without having to buy overdimensioned and possibly unnecessary transport equipment.

9 Expand the Capacity and the Capabilities of Your Mobile Network New Opportunities for Mobile Operators Mobile operators also face a range of interesting challenges these days. Although the key application for mobile phones remains voice communications, new messaging and imaging services, including mobile video, are placing huge demands on available bandwidth. If operators are to survive, they must strengthen their network infrastructure. This, after all, is the only way they can continue to deliver flexible and reliable mobile services in the months and years to come and remain competitive in a crowded marketplace. Making the Move to 3G Right now, operators are struggling to upgrade existing 2G Radio Access Networks (RANs) to high-capacity 3G networks in the most practical and costeffective manner. The Tellabs mobile access solution features state-of-the-art network elements that facilitate these upgrades without sacrificing quality of service or compromising network integrity. The scalability of our solution means that operators can easily expand their networks as 3G traffic increases. In fact, a single product family can be used for access, distribution, and core architectures, which dramatically simplifies network integration and rollout. What s more, Tellabs transport nodes enable full integration of data technologies such as ATM and Ethernet. Reducing the Cost of Maintenance Point-to-point links are simply not an efficient way to manage bandwidth in a 3G RAN fibre ring technologies are far more effective. Our next-generation SDH solutions make it possible to converge circuit-switched traffic with packet-switched data to ensure cost-effective transport and high service quality. Not only does this increase the value of existing equipment, because all our nodes can be provisioned and configured remotely, the cost of maintaining the network is significantly reduced. Tellabs 6340 Switch Node STM-1, STM-4, STM- 16, ADM and 4/4/1 SDXC Multi-service provisioning platform for access and metropolitan networks and 2G/3G networks Very high service density and small footprint Support of carrier-class data services > Tellabs mobile access solution enables a 2Gbased access network to be upgraded to take 3G bandwidth requirements using the Tellabs 6300 series. These nodes can be provisioned and configured remotely, significantly reducing the cost of network provisioning and maintenance.

10 Win More Business Through Faster Provisioning Simple, Scalable, Sensible State-of-the-art equipment is one thing. Getting it all to work together in the most efficient way possible is something very different. Grooming, optimising, provisioning all of these critical tasks take time. Or at least they used to. Now, thanks to the Tellabs 6300 network manager, your entire transport network can be managed from a single, carrier-class software system. We ve made it easy for you to enhance your level of service, reduce delays and downtime, decrease operating expenses, and increase profitability by automating key processes in an easy-to-use standard interface. From point-and-click service provisioning to drag-and-drop topology changes, it couldn t be simpler. And your fast reaction time can t help but enhance your market profile. Do More with Less Centralised management also helps you make more efficient use of your workforce and reduce the need for expensive subcontractors. For example, many problems and configuration changes that used to require a site visit can now be taken care of from a keyboard. Moreover, proactive service assurance helps reduce the risk of downtime penalties and significantly increases customer loyalty. Most important of all, it lets you concentrate on providing revenuegenerating services instead of revenuedepleting maintenance. Seamless Integration in Multi-Vendor Networks Tellabs network management software takes full advantage of the open architecture of the TeMIP platform.
