1 ENABLING HIGH-BANDWIDTH APPLICATIONS TO ACHIEVE MISSION SUCCESS 100G Solutions for IP and Optics Networks Maximum performance. Minimum TCO. Can your network meet your bandwidth needs? Can it support the latest video and multimedia applications that are critical to your mission success? The use of high-definition video and multimedia web applications is becoming increasingly important to mission and operational success in areas as diverse as battlefield medicine, surveillance, teleconferencing, and motor pool training. The use of mobile broadband and file sharing applications is rising sharply. Advances in research applications and the evolution to cloud-based networking are also putting bandwidth pressure on existing networks. Solving Mission-Critical Bottlenecks LGS Innovations solves the most complex communications challenges facing the U.S. Federal Government, state and local governments, foreign governments, and commercial enterprises, including those posed by the needs of high-bandwidth applications and the potential service bottlenecks they can cause. In a mission-critical situation, a bottleneck can be disastrous. Higher bandwidth technologies are making constant advancements to ease strain on networks and maintain superior performance. These include technologies that support 100G to 400G+ network capacity. 100G/400G+ next-generation coherent technology is an innovative and economically viable solution for new deployments, and the power of 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GE) supports speed, services, and scalability with no compromise.

2 Lowering Total Cost of Ownership In addition to capacity, speed, and quality concerns, there is also a focus on achieving the lowest possible total cost of ownership. This includes maximizing the re-use of existing infrastructure, minimizing cost and energy requirements on any new build-out, and avoiding conflict with existing 10Gb/s and 40Gb/s signals. To address this, key features of LGS Innovations 100G/400G+ solutions include:»» Higher integration and longer transmission reach»» Lower network complexity, operational costs, and power consumption»» Compatibility with lower-speed transport infrastructures (such as 10G and 40G) Designed to address the booming bandwidth demands driven by streaming technology, web applications, file sharing, and high definition video, LGS Innovations 100G solutions protect the investment to scale networks to 100G/400G+ without performance degradation, and provide an economically viable platform for new optical networking deployments. Technically Superior Optics Because LGS Innovations offers both 100G optical transport and 100G Ethernet technologies, we can provide significantly higher integration and network coverage with lower operational costs and power consumption. The optical component leverages PDM-QPSK with coherent detection for best-in-class 100Gb/s transmission. LGS Innovations is able to offer the unmatched end-to-end scalability, performance, and low costper-bit transport of the Nokia optical solution. Breakthrough innovations such as optimized modulation formats, which reduce the negative effects of dramatic increases in line rates, and coherent detection, which doubles the transported capacity and increases the spectral efficiency allow federal agencies and commercial organizations alike to realize 100G/400G+ communications. Other technological advances include photonic OAM with Wavelength Tracker to monitor and trace each wavelength at any point in the network, dispersion compensation, and superior tolerance for optical noise. Transmission distances can be extended without costly regeneration, and the signal can pass through more ROADMs. The Nokia optical 100G solutions also boast the best ability to achieve fast wavelength reconfigurations. Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch The Nokia 1830 PSS represents a new type of photonic switching access platform for metro wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Implementing Zero-Touch Photonics, they transform traditional WDM into a cost-effective, low-footprint and fully flexible transport layer with complete visibility and control of individual wavelengths. This transformation simplifies broadband service delivery and facilitates bandwidth expansion in optical transport network (OTN) IP networks. The 1830 PSS helps to deploy high-capacity networks and leverage their assets while lowering the cost and saving space and power per transported bit. It plays an important role in maintaining low TCO for 100G optical networks. 2 LGS INNOVATIONS

3 Seamless Evolution with 100G Ethernet LGS Innovations provides best-of-breed service routing platforms, allowing for 100G transport speeds to deliver 100GigE at the edge, where services meet the network. Our portfolio is readily extensible to 100GigE, delivering speed without compromising the full scope and scale of broadband services such as IPTV, Internet access, IP VPNs, Ethernet VPNs, Internet peering, and 2G/3G/4G mobile transport. Nokia 7750 Service Router The Nokia 7750 Service Router (SR) product family is a suite of multiservice edge routers designed from inception to deliver high-performance, high-availability routing with service-aware operations, administration, management, and provisioning. The 7750 SR integrates the scalability, resiliency, and predictability of MPLS along with the bandwidth and economics of Ethernet and a broad selection of legacy interfaces, to enable a converged network infrastructure for the delivery of next-generation services. The 7750 SR advanced and comprehensive feature set enables it to be deployed as a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG), as a Multiservice Edge for Carrier Ethernet and IP VPN services, as the aggregation router in mobile backhaul applications, or as a mobile gateway for wireless networks. With support for service-enabled high density 10GigE and 100GigE interfaces, the 7750 SR is also well suited for core routing applications. Available in five chassis variants, the 7750 SR scales gracefully from 40 Gb/s to 2 Tb/s of capacity, providing cost-effective solutions to address the smallest to the largest network locations. Nokia 7450 Ethernet Service Switch The Nokia 7450 ESS is a high-performance platform providing Carrier Ethernet service aggregation with industry-leading throughput, densities, and reliability. Enabling a broad service mix and a graceful migration to a converged service environment, the 7450 ESS is the platform of choice to enable wide-scale Carrier Ethernet adoption, implementation, and transformation. Supporting service speeds up to 100 Gb/s with no sacrifice in performance and with advanced features fully enabled, the 7450 ESS enables seamless evolution from 10 to 100 Gb/s infrastructures. 3 LGS INNOVATIONS

4 The Video Advantage The jump from 10G or 40G to 100G and beyond significantly increases transmission speeds, enabling one network fiber to transport 8.8 TB/sec. This accelerated exchange of data can easily enable a dramatic increase in the use of high-bandwidth applications like video in areas as diverse as battlefield medicine, equipment training, VTC, and video surveillance. It only takes one second to transmit a 90-minute HD video using a 100G interface. 100G/400G+ video solutions from LGS Innovations provide intelligent processing of video flows with fast channel change and retransmission to optimize user experience for hosted and walled-garden video and IPTV content. With a high percentage of internet traffic video-based, the changing landscape of networking demands the best-available solutions for video transmission. High Availability for Continuity of Operations Both the 1830 Photonic Service Switch and the 7750 Service Router have numerous high availability features that support Continuity of Operations (COOP). Photonic switching means that the 1830 PSS allows full networking flexibility; any service client can be transported over any wavelength in any direction, circumventing any possible interruptions. If a ring is cut, the 1830 PSS will instantly switch traffic onto remaining fiber links. Similarly, the 7750 SR has resilient hardware architecture supporting redundancy and easy replacement of all router hardware elements. Modular software design ensures continuous non-stop routing and service. In addition, the 7750 supports Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (defined by Internet Engineering Task Force RFC 2338), which allows deployment of another router at a separate physical facility to act as a back-up, taking over functionality in case the initial router fails. In both cases, the equipment is designed to keep the 100G network running smoothly despite system malfunctions. Proven Experience 360networks 360networks, one of the largest U.S. providers of wholesale telecommunications services, has selected a distinctive combination of both the 1830 PSS and the 7750 SR to offer greater bandwidth capacity and IP-based Ethernet services across its 18,000 miles of network. This deployment supports 360networks delivery of regional Layer 2 Ethernet with very low latency and no congestion to intelligently manage traffic and support new bandwidth-hungry applications, such as live-streaming high-definition video. CBT is a comprehensive and integrated IP/Optical solution spanning the data plane, the control plane, and the management plane. It slashes transport costs and dramatically reduces operational complexity in core networks. The popularity of such services as high-definition video and interactive gaming are prompting consumers to expect much greater quality and speed from their service providers while enterprise customers are demanding greater reliability for applications such as tele-presence and tele-health, said Brady Adams, chief technology officer for 360networks. Nokia s CBT solution and its 100G proposition help us manage traffic growth and enable us to develop the technologies and platforms that meet our customers growing demands. 4 LGS INNOVATIONS

5 ORION Network Nokia s 100G solutions also support cutting edge research. Nokia has been selected to provide support for the optical upgrade of the ORION network in Ontario, Canada. Orion is the first network in the world to deploy a 100G production network to support research and education. It is a critical tool that supports and facilitates research, education, collaboration and innovation and stretches nearly 3,600 miles. Dresden and Bergakademie Freiberg High-Performance Data Centers Nokia technology supported the connection of two high-performance data centers of the Dresden and Bergakademie Freiberg technical universities in Germany. This 37-mile link also used both IP and optical technologies. The extremely high bandwidth of 100G communications technology improves the cooperation between research facilities and facilitates more advanced Cloud service delivery options, paving the way for the proliferation of collaborative multimedia applications. Specifically, this new broadband link will provide the research data centers an environment in which they can evaluate bandwidth-intensive applications and services under realistic conditions. Nokia s 100GigE has been validated by independent testing companies Isocore and Ixia. The test results show that a 7750 SR 100GigE IMM implementation provides not only a high-speed trunk, but also offers flexibility and capabilities for high capacity services support while offering quality of service. It passed all tests and remained stable under considerable stress through numerous iterations and test cycles. Nokia s optical 100G solution has also demonstrated its effectiveness for major operators in the Far East. Environmentally Responsible LGS Innovations is incorporating advances in energy efficiency into its 100G/400G+ offerings. The technology itself is designed for efficiency; 100G wavelengths per bay footprint is a best-in-class benchmark, and a single-carrier coherent architecture is the most energy-efficient configuration for achieving 100G. Pioneering advances in power efficiency are incorporated into each member of the Nokia 7750 SR family, reducing the expense of both powering and cooling when comparing products with less advanced silicon technology. With environmentally sensitive manufacturing processes, careful materials selection, and a view to sustainable product life cycle management, the components of a Nokia 100G network assist our customers in reducing their environmental impact. 5 LGS INNOVATIONS
