1625 Lambda Extreme TransportVendor: Alcatel-LucentPosition against Ericsson: MHL 3000

40G DPSK1625 Lambda Extreme Transport (ULH)A features spectrum analyzers built into

each terminal, repeater and ROADM monitor each channel, with software providing automated adjustment of Raman amps to provide gain flattening. Dynamic gain flattening can be performed at every six sites.

128 channels in the extended L-banduse of common transponders for both

long haul and ultra long haul applications


In a full10G capacity implementation (1.28 Tbps), the 1625 LambdaXtreme requires three full bays of equipment. At 18-inches depth (450 mm), the 1625 LambdaXtreme requires network operators to devote more floor space to site it compared to systems that feature a 12 inch deep rack. • A 58W/10G channel power consumption is the highest in the product class.

Verizon’s live network 100G test demonstrated the platform’s ability to support both 10G and 100G operations on the same fiber.1.28 Tbps at 10 Gbps out to 4,000 km (5,000

km at reduced capacity) and up to 2,200 km for 2.56 Tbps (64 40G wavelengths).scales to support 3.2 Tbps with a combination

of 10G and 40G wavelengths.



1692 Metro Span EDGE Vendor: Alcatel-LucentPosition against Ericsson: MHL 3000

1692 Metrospan Edge (MSE) suitable for access market: 4x any card and 10G traffic cards


It does not support T1/E1 or T3/E3 interfacesNot incorporated TDM or it does not support data

switching capabilities into its metro access platform. Relatively low port density, meaning that are

needed more equipment to carry the same amount of traffic.It does not support LCASIt not supporting UPSR (SNCP protection) making

less attractive to operators in North America. It does not share cards with other ALU systems.With integrated TDM and Layer 2 Ethernet

switching, the ONS 15310 can help operators groom access traffic and offer robust Ethernet data services, which the 1692 MSE cannot.

Sub-rate mux: 4xAny multiplexer card multiplexed onto a single 2.5G channel, with flexibility to aggregate a variety of services (i.e., digital video (DV), IP, ESCON/FICON, Fiber Channel, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet).

10G wavelengths in metro access transport platform. Power consumption: only 400 Watts per shelf or 1600 W

for a full rack.Provision up to 8 protected or 16 unprotected CWDM

wavelengths per shelf unit (equating to support for 32 protected wavelengths per seven-foot cabinet) with high-capacity configuration on a “pay as you grow” basis.

Support 50 Gbps backplane, with raw capacity needed to expand traffic aggregation capabilities.

Cisco – analysisONS 15454 MSTP is an 80 Gbps system (i.e. eight 10 Gbps wavelengths) and then can scale to support up to 1.6 Tbps of wavelength capacity in a multi-rack system (i.e. forty 40 Gbps channels per system). WSS-based ROADM supports up to 8 degrees of interconnection. Cisco’s “MSPP on a blade” cards and Ethernet Xponders offer the functionality of several discrete

modules onto a single line card. By incorporating Ethernet support into line cards for the ONS 15454 MSTP system, Cisco integrates the functions of several network elements into one piece of equipment. The result is increased reliability and simplified operations. The ONS 15454 MSTP provides very competitive port densities for OC-3, GbE and SAN signals. High port density positions a product to efficiently transport significant bandwidth. Cisco’s metro core product is well positioned to support some of the lower speed optical signals that are widely deployed today.The ONS 15454 MSTP features maximum power consumption figures of 446 W per ROADM shelf resulting a power draw of up to 2676 W when configured in a full capacity implementation (6 shelves). This is one of the lowest power consumption figures within the metro core ROADM product class. Energy efficient equipment equates directly to lower than average OpEx – which can directly equate to savings for a network operator.Cisco cites more than 75,000 ONS 15454 nodes and 6,000 ROADMs in-service. While a complete list of product features helps to position Cisco’s product vis-à-vis its competition, deployments speak to the credibility of an offering in the eyes of carriers. The ability to point to pervasive deployments argues that Cisco’s ROADM offer is battle tested, and widely relied upon to meet the evolving transport needs of Cisco’s customers.

the ONS 15454 MSTP does not share cards with other optical products in the Cisco portfolio. Cisco has yet to incorporate support for a GMPLS-based control plane in the ONS 15454. ONS 15454 does offer both ANSI and ETSI versions of the shelf, the general size is the same.

Optical Metro 5200 is a forecast-tolerant, DWDM data-optimized, survivable platform for metropolitan access and interoffice applications. Optical Metro 3500 mini-MSPP and Layer 2

functionalities

Optical Multiservice Edge 6500 (OME 6500) is a metro core optical platform that efficiently manages and transports converged TDM, data, and wavelength services. OME 6500’s wide array of services, fully non-blocking 80G VC12 switch matrix, scalable L2 service switch with extensive Quality of Service (QoS) support, and electronic Dynamically Compensating Optics (eDCO) that support multi-span links of over 2,000 kilometers without in-line dispersion compensation equipment are some of the key attributes that allow service providers a smooth migration to a reliable and scalable Ethernet infrastructure while maintaining minimal infrastructure costs

Optical Long Haul 1600 incorporates a modular optical amplifier design with the MOR Plus and Optical 1600G amplifiers. Nortel Optical Metro 5000 Series harnesses the

power of WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) to transparently deliver high bandwidth network services across an open, scalable and survivable optical transport platform. Optical Metro 5100 is a compact Coarse

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) platform that is designed to cost effectively extend optical broadband services to the network edge. Features:SONET/SDH and native data services, such asESCON, D1 Video, Gigabit Ethernet, 10GELAN and WAN PHY, FICON/FICON Express,Fibre Channel (FC-100, FC200, subratesupport), ISC/ISC3, DV6000 and more. Bit-rate independent interfaces. Up to 8 protected (16 unprotected) chsPer wavelength optional protection switching Point-to-point and ring-based network

Common Photonic Layer (CPL) is the key building block in transforming the network towards Adaptive, All Optical Intelligent networking. For Metro, Regional and Long Haul Optical Networks, and it offers a completely disruptive approach for simplification of the photonic layer by separating the Service Network Elements (NEs) from the Optical Line. CPL supports enhanced ROADM (eROADM) capabilities, allowing unrestricted add/drop and redirection of any wavelength at any port, enabling on-the-fly wavelength insertion/termination and addition of new optical paths (branches) without re-engineering or service interruption. Optical Modeler is the link engineering

tool supporting design and implementation of Nortel’s Common Photonic Layer (CPL) networks.Optical Planner is easy-to-use capacity

EkinopsVendor: EkinopsPosition against Ericsson: Metro MHL 3000

Wave Bonding technology that multiplex 4x 10G payloads into a 40G wavelength. The combination of Wave Bonding and DynaFEC technologies will enable the Ekinops 360 transport platform to support 40G wavelengths at distances of up to 2,000 km. Initially will support up to 160 10G channels in the C-band, with a later release enabling 320 10G channels in the C-band. 100GHz initially, then 50 GHz
