1 Packet Optical Trends for wireless backhaul and Challenges for Embedded Designers Soumya Desai, 21 st May 2011 Silicon India Global Embedded Conference 2011

2 What is wireless backhaul? We do this line!!

3 What is wireless backhaul? Aggregate mobile phone traffic from cell towers To the BSC and MSC LOTS of cell towers Over radio and fiber links

4 Smart Phone Data Usage Global mobile data traffic grew 2.6-fold in 2010, nearly tripling for the third year in a row Mobile video traffic will exceed 50 percent for the first time in 2011 Mobile network connection speeds doubled in 2010 Average smartphone usage doubled in The average amount of traffic per smartphone in 2010 was 79MBper month, up from 35MB per month in 2009 Source: Cisco Visual Networking Index

5 Smart Phone Data Usage

6 Revenue Considerations Best Case for Data Service Revenues is only 37% in

7 How to build the network? TDM based Works today deployed everywhere, operations people trained Optimized for voice Fixed bandwidth cannot take advantage of bursty-ness of usage and stat muxing Evolved to handle data traffic, but not as efficient and scalable Packet based Optimized for enterprise and LAN environment recently evolved for carrier networks Expensive to carry voice and legacy services which are still growing Many of the standards as aspects like synchronization and traffic engineering still evolving 7

8 Operational Considerations Low Power Smaller boxes rent per-rack Unit!!! Remotely managed sites Resilient networks 50ms protection, multiple fiber cuts!!! Simplicity of use and operator training 8

9 Requirements 9

10 Multi directional challenges Bandwidth explosion but pay-as-you-grow Technology indecision TDM, Packet, Mixed Technology not standardized Network migration in-service Power Consumption Multi-service and Network virtualization Operational simplicity Product longevity 15 years Business Challenges Time to market can we do this in 9 months? Limited R&D spend 10

11 Packet Transport Network TDM Traffic Packet and TDM Traffic Full Packet Traffic Seamless Circuit-to-Packet migration from the same shelf! Aggregate Network Core Network Voice Access Network TDM Fabric Packet Fabric Data 11

12 Flexible Capacity at each layer IP Ethernet/MPLS SDH/OTN DWDM 12

13 Winning strategy - FPGA Develop own IP Stay ahead on technology Pre-standard implementations Extra-standard implementations Reconfigurability Hardware becomes malleable like software Mix and match technology L0, L1, L2, L3 of any size Interfaces also reconfigurable from software Ethernet, MPLS, SDH services on same port Rapid prototyping and reuse Ride on chip volumes from all electronics industry rather than telecom only 13

14 Winning strategy Intelligent Software Auto network topology discovery Real-time monitoring of network faults and resiliency Multiservice virtualization - Per-service traffic monitoring and dynamic resizing and control of traffic flows Auto-configuration of nodes Centrally managed single-click network provisioning Centrally managed single-click network upgrades 14

15 Hierarchical QoS 15

16 Success Stories GLOBAL PARTNERS Europe SAARC South East Asia Latin America Middle East/Africa India 16

17 Globally Recognized Award for Excellence in R&D & Innovation Red Herring Top-100 Global CSIR Technology Award from Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh NASSCOM Innovation Award 2011 for New Technology Advancement Best Electronic Product of the year, Indian Semiconductor Association (ISA) Technovation Awards 2011 Award for Excellence in R&D Deloitte Technology Fast-500 Asia ; Fast -50 India 2005-to-2009 Emerging Company of the Year, 2007 Economic Times Telecom Product of the Year 2011 DSIR, Government of India, Award for Excellence in R&D Distinguished Product Company Award IETE Award for Excellence in Telecom Federation of Indian Export Organizations Innovative Indigenous Telecom Equipment Award
