What is a High Bandwidth Application?

Common Arguments for 100 Gbps

Total System Costs

Goal is Lowest Cost Transport

Increase Bit Rate or Tighter Spacing?

CoreStream:
Flexible Transport Platform for the Future
One Platform for all applications
FEC, Raman, and EDFAs allow CoreStream to handle span designs from 1600 - 3200km
CoreStream is approved for NDSF, NZDSF, and DSF
Transceivers for 2.5G and 10G GA today, 40G available for lab demos now.
50GHz (for ~3000km) & 25GHz (up to ~2000km) channel spacings
Cost is reduced by installing special technologies only where needed
25GHz systems can used to provide high capacities as 40G technologies become more cost effective

Demonstrated System Capability
with Raman

Transparent Service Multiplexing
Access vs Transport Rate

10GE for High Bandwidth Applications
Standards work needed?

Hybrid Switching is Lowest Cost
Traffic Dependency

Thank You!
