Market Dynamics
Why is the market ripe for reducing your transport costs?
 Cost of optical components has come down dramatically
 Improvements in capabilities of optical components
 Cost of programmable technology has come down dramatically
 Improvements in power consumption of optical and electrical
components
 Scalability options introduced for certain components
 Capabilities that used to be spread across multiple pieces of
equipment are now offered by a single piece of equipment
 System designs focused on scaling costs incrementally

Reducing Network Cost
Where should you look to optimize transport network costs?
 Reduce your cost of infrastructure
 Reduce your Capital Costs
 Reduce ongoing costs

Reducing the Cost of Infrastructure
Longer Distance, Fewer Amplifiers
 Combination of better FEC and amplifier technologies
help transport systems go further cheaper
 FEC transitioning from 6-8dB to 10dB or more today

with newer Amplifier
technologies
 Longer distances without Inline
Amplifiers
 Fewer Amplifiers when amplifiers
are needed
Up to 300Km

Ekinops 40G 100GHz Muxponder Architecture
Flexible Multiplexing and Add Drop of Lower Rates Services

The 40G 100GHz Muxponder utilizes 10G
Chameleon Cards to Multiplex virtually any
mix of protocols into the 40G line

Each Chameleon could be a native 10G with
no lower rate services or one of the
Chameleon cards with the desired
multiplexing capability

Bonds the
Wavelengths
Chameleon cards can be added one at a time to
provide a true "pay as you grow" architecture

Each Chameleon can be a single slot or
double slot depending on the mix of traffic
being multiplexed. Single and Double can
be mixed.

Does not require separate Multiplexing
cards for rates under 10G like other 40G
muxponders
 Reduces hardware costs by more than 50%
for complex multiplexing applications
