6300 ManagedTransportSystems — BreakthroughNext-GenerationSDH Solutions thatDeliver Profitable Data Services— Now

On-Going Commitment to SDH“The world is changing.” “You need to

keep in touch with the times.” “You’ve gotto move ahead.”

You’ve heard it all before — usuallywhen someone wants you to abandon thevery technologies that got you where youare today. Although we’ll be the first toadmit that nothing lasts forever, SDH isgoing to be around for a long time to come.And that’s why we continue to developinnovative SDH solutions that do muchmore than just keep pace with develop-ments. We actually set the pace for our industry.

Meeting the Challenge of ConvergedNetworks

Today’s telecommunications operatorsface two major challenges. First, yesterday’stechnology just isn’t geared for today’s busi-ness needs. And at the same time, operatorscannot afford to replace entire technologies.Next, there’s the constant pressure toimprove the price/performance ratio. Quitesimply, expenses are increasing faster thanincome. And the revenue per transported bitis rapidly decreasing.

SDH was designed to carry voice efficiently, but the majority of traffic beingcarried in today’s transport networks is data.And with data traffic growth rates at 50-100% a year, there is an enormous mismatch between the capabilities of the network and the demands being placed on it.

Explosive Growth in Data TrafficWe don’t need to give you statistics on

the increase in data traffic. You know betterthan anyone what’s happening in your market. And you are also perfectly awarethat the increase in service demand is notautomatically accompanied by a propor-tional increase in revenue. In other words,operators who provide data services areexpected to deliver better broadband ser-vices, but they get a lot less for their efforts.

There are three ways to increase profit-ability. The first is to avoid unnecessary orredundant capital expenditures. The second

is to provide value-added services — services that can create big profits fromsmall investments. And the third way is tocustomise operations and reduce the needfor manual intervention. Here’s how Tellabs helps you achieve all three of thesekey goals.

Choosing the Right Data Transport TechnologyInstead of pure overlay networks in which

data and voice are transported side by sideon two separate networks, next-generationSDH equipment from Tellabs uses the samenetwork, adding data-aware interfaces at thenetwork edge. By packaging data in “virtual

containers”, data traffic is easily and efficiently transported together with circuit-oriented traffic, e.g. leased lines.

The greatest advantage is also the most obvious: why invest in an additional networkwhen you can get more out of your current investment?

Using the Tellabs 6300 managed trans-port systems, you can easily leverage yourexisting optical network into a cost-efficient, fully converged data and voiceservices infrastructure. Moreover, ourscalable expansion ensures that you onlybuy what you need, which keeps costs low

and return on investment high.

Differentiated ServicesExisting leased line business is

under pressure these days from anumber of sources. The greatestthreat in many markets iscoming from new entrants whospecialise in providing low-costdata services. Here’s how youcan respond.

The innovative Tellabs Ether-net solution makes it possible tooffer Ethernet Private Lines(EPLs) or even Ethernet PrivateNetworks (EPNs). The Tellabs6300 systems make it easy toadjust bandwidth allocation inthese EPNs so they are tailoredto meet the needs of individualcustomers. For businesses, bandwidth can be dynamically

stepped in 2 Mbit/s increments from 2 Mbit/s for small companies all the way upto 1 Gbit/s for large organisations such asfinancial institutions. What’s more, theseEthernet solutions offer superb Quality-of-Service (QoS) thanks to Tellabs’ uniqueimplementation based on Multi-ProtocolLabel Switching (MPLS). Finally, this widerange of options makes it possible to offerindividually tailored Service Level Agree-ments (SLAs) to subscribers. In short, it’s agreat way to increase your competitiveness,as your customers never have to pay formore than they need.

Faster ProvisioningOf course dynamic bandwidth provi-

sioning sounds fine on paper, but what happens in real life? Well, thanks to ourcentralised network management, when acustomer calls to adjust his capacity to ahigher or lower rate of utilisation, it takesbut a minute to make the change. Best ofall, this can be done without changing thephysical Ethernet interface to the network,so there’s no need for extra personnel, equipment, or site visits!

Customers, who often expect to wait daysor even weeks before their requests can becarried out, will be pleasantly surprised by

this higher level of service. Of even greaterimportance, the Tellabs solution ensuresyour network capacity is always fullyexploited. As opposed to, say, a traditionalall-router overlay solution which reserves afixed amount of bandwidth for a customerwhether he’s using it or not, our dynamicprovisioning ensures that capacity is alwaysoptimised. In other words, you can servemore customers without increasing yourcapacity or decreasing your service quality,thus deferring expensive upgrades andexpansion.

And what does all this mean? Faster time-to-revenue!

Identifying Growth AreasIf a network is to be truly profitable, its

architecture must be tailored to reflect cur-rent traffic growth patterns. Today, mostgrowth is related to metro access, and it’shere — at the network edge — that the ser-vice interfaces are located and the network changes are frequent. It is also here the initial traffic processing takes place. Andthis is exactly why Tellabs’ next-generationSDH technology lets you position networkintelligence closer to the edges through state-of-the-art distributed transport switching.

Centralised or Distributed? That’s the Question

There is always a choice to bemade when it comes toconnectivity in thenetwork. In centra-lised structures, suchas a voice network,traffic is usually back-hauled to a central office wherethe telephone exchan-ge is also located.

With an increasingamount of broadband data traffic, there isno obvious reason to backhaul all of it tothe telephone exchange. It is far more effi-cient to adopt a distributed structure, wherethe data traffic continues directly to itsdestination without having to visit the cen-tral office along the way.

Greater Efficiency A distributed transport switching archi-

tecture is achieved by installing high density4/4/1 cross-connects such as the Tellabs6350 switch node or the Tellabs 6345 switch node at the edge of the network, thus reducing the need for bandwidth andswitching capacity in the core of thenetwork. That’s because the core networkno longer has to handle local broadbanddata traffic and the regional and long-distance transmission pipes are thus usedmore efficiently thanks to better grooming capabilities at the edge of the network.

Distributed transport switchingis also easy to scale, which

allows you to pay as yougrow so capital expenditures

are kept in linewith your needs

and revenue.And ourcentralised

networkmanagement

ensuresfast andeasy pro-

visioning, operation, and management ofthe entire system, decreasing operationalexpenses. The result is a cost-effective,high-speed metro access network designthat helps you get more out of your existingSDH investments, leverage edge-centricdata trends, and break the cost curve onceand for all.

Build aA New Breed of Carrier's Carrier

The days of national telecommunicationsmonopolies are over. And many organ-isations that have deployed fibre for theirown communications needs suddenly findthemselves with a potentially profitableasset. Not surprisingly, public utilities, railroads and many others have entered thetelecommunications arena as “carrier’s carriers” to provide voice and data infra-structure to other operators.

Success, though, depends on more thanjust access to fibre. It also depends on thechoice of transport technology. The Tellabs6300 managed transport systems have beendesigned to provide seamless integration of

data and voice services as well as SDH andDWDM technologies — all in a scalable,flexible, and highly manageable networkdesign.

This enormous range of flexibility givesgreenfield operators unprecedented freedomto enter virtually any market. They can pro-vide business leased line services, or evenbecome full-fledged carrier’s carriers. Bestof all, Tellabs’ commitment to “pay-as-you-grow” allows newcomers to exploit theirlicenses at an economically viable pace.After all, there are enough investments todeal with, without having to buy over-dimensioned — and possibly unnecessary— transport equipment.

DWDM complements SDH technology to help solve the issues of capacity and costs that operators are facing today. Coloured interfacescan be introduced to the Tellabs 6300 SDH nodes to enable direct interfacing to WDM links.

Expand the Capacity and the Capabilities of Your Mobile Network

> Tellabs’ mobile accesssolution enables a 2G-based access networkto be upgraded to take3G bandwidth require-ments using the Tellabs6300 series. Thesenodes can be provi-sioned and configuredremotely, significantlyreducing the cost ofnetwork provisioningand maintenance.

New Opportunities for Mobile OperatorsMobile operators also face a range of

interesting challenges these days. Althoughthe key application for mobile phones remains voice communications, new mess-aging and imaging services, includingmobile video, are placing huge demands onavailable bandwidth. If operators are to sur-vive, they must strengthen their networkinfrastructure. This, after all, is the onlyway they can continue to deliver flexibleand reliable mobile services in the monthsand years to come — and remain compet-itive in a crowded marketplace.

Making the Move to 3GRight now, operators are struggling to

upgrade existing 2G Radio AccessNetworks (RANs) to high-capacity 3Gnetworks in the most practical and cost-effective manner. The Tellabs mobile accesssolution features state-of-the-art networkelements that facilitate these upgradeswithout sacrificing quality of service orcompromising network integrity.

The scalability of our solution means thatoperators can easily expand their networksas 3G traffic increases. In fact, a single product family can be used for access,distribution, and core architectures, whichdramatically simplifies network integrationand rollout. What’s more, Tellabs’ transportnodes enable full integration of data technol-ogies such as ATM and Ethernet.

Reducing the Cost of MaintenancePoint-to-point links are simply not an

efficient way to manage bandwidth in a 3GRAN — fibre ring technologies are farmore effective. Our next-generation SDHsolutions make it possible to converge circuit-switched traffic with packet-switcheddata to ensure cost-effective transport andhigh service quality. Not only does thisincrease the value of existing equipment,because all our nodes can be provisionedand configured remotely, the cost of main-taining the network is significantly reduced.

Win More Business Through Faster Provisioning

Simple, Scalable, SensibleState-of-the-art equipment is one thing.

Getting it all to work together in the mostefficient way possible is something verydifferent. Grooming, optimising, provisio-ning — all of these critical tasks take time.Or at least they used to.

Now, thanks to the Tellabs® 6300network manager, your entire transportnetwork can be managed from a single, carrier-class software system. We’ve madeit easy for you to enhance your level of service, reduce delays and downtime,decrease operating expenses, and increaseprofitability by automating key processes inan easy-to-use standard interface. Frompoint-and-click service provisioning todrag-and-drop topology changes, it couldn’tbe simpler. And your fast reaction timecan’t help but enhance your market profile.

Do More with LessCentralised management also helps you

make more efficient use of your workforceand reduce the need for expensive subcon-tractors. For example, many problems andconfiguration changes that used to require asite visit can now be taken care of from akeyboard. Moreover, proactive service assurance helps reduce the risk of down-time penalties and significantly increases customer loyalty. Most important of all, itlets you concentrate on providing revenue-generating services instead of revenue-depleting maintenance.
