Welcome to the TE Connectivity introduction to Quareo. We’d like to introduce you

to a revolutionary new network technology named Quareo.

This network map is representative of what most of today’s network management

systems are capable of reporting about the physical structure of your network.

Active devices such as switches, routers and PCs are visible and can be managed

by your existing network management system and their connections to each other

are implied as illustrated. We use the term “implied” when referencing the physical

layer connections…is this network map accurately depicting the physical layer, and

is the physical layer in any sense “manageable” via the network management tools

available to you today? The answer to both of those questions has historically been

no…until now.

This is a representation of the network infrastructure today, as we know it. If you

were able to document your network to this level of detail, it was the result of

manual spreadsheet documentation which is subject to human error.

3

This is a more realistic representation of the network infrastructure with Quareo in

your network. The Quareo Managed Connectivity solution featuring Connection

Point Identification enables automated, 100% accurate real-time visibility to the

structure of the physical layer and provides management of the physical layer never

before possible.

The core of Quareo resides in the following:

Each connector contains a chipset with a unique id along with

detailed information about the given cable assembly

Network (Patch) panel ports detect presence of no connector,

a standard passive connector, or a CPID enabled connector

System knows for certain which two ports are

connected, does NOT rely on a human input

The software uses the unique connector and cable assembly

IDs to ensure an accurate database

What defines a “successful” network? Several Key Performance Indicators come to

6/28/2011

mind. The first is OPEX. If you could be more efficient in documenting and

troubleshooting your network, that would be beneficial. How about network

security? Do you have to answer to network security regulations such as HIPPA,

SOX, or PCI? Real-time documentation and tracking of the physical layer would

invariably help meet those requirements. Perhaps the most obvious KPI is network

availability – EVERYONE knows when the network is down or is operating poorly.

The value proposition of the Quareo solution speaks to each of these performance

metrics, and many more.

5

There are three key concepts that convey the value of the Quareo solution. The

6/28/2011

first is CPID, which is the foundation of the Quareo solution. CPID assigns unique

identifiers and other pertinent information to each connection point within the

physical layer.

CPID enables “Managed Connectivity” – a level of physical layer visibility and

management previously unattainable. Network access and usage policies can now

be extended to a previously inaccessible portion of the network infrastructure – the

Physical Layer.

Lastly, the Quareo Managed Connectivity database is of an open architecture

ensuring easy access to the physical layer information for use in a a variety of

network management tools or custom applications via a Software Development Kit.

A wealth of information is supplied by CPID technology. Each of these data points

can provide invaluable information in support of the “Managed Connectivity” concept

that is unique to Quareo.

7

Note that Quareo CPID Technology is implemented using standard RJ45, LC and

6/28/2011

MPO connector footprints and all connectivity management data collection is

completely isolated from the data traffic flowing through the physical layer.
