Evolution of Wavelength Function
Provisionable TransportServices
Legacy WDM - Fiber Relief SolutionConnection-oriented PSTN servicesSimple, predictable trafficSONET (and ATM, FR) used as provisionable transport
Reconfigurable WDM – High Order Managed TransportServices become more dynamic (IP migration)Service bandwidth grows – IP VideoOTN (G.709) provides OA&M for wavelengths
ROADM is key enabler of
IP video applications
Optical Technology Trends
Reconfigurable metro/regional
networks driving more power and
distance
Power and distance used for other long haul applications
Unrepeatered Submarine Systems
The Caribbean has more than 1/3rd of the world’s installed festoon route-miles (including ARCOS-1)
Fiber count gap between existing and new cable systems widened greatly over last 5 years
Much cheaper to operate and maintain unrepeatered festoon – O&M key factors today
Upgrade existing undersea festoon and
inter-island cable systems

Rotated Signal Propagation
Low-dispersion G.653 (Z-fiber) at beginning of span with high launch power would induce strong four-wave mixing
“Logically rotating” the link enables DWDM since receive power is too low to cause nonlinear degradation
Unrepeatered single spans over 300km
Inter-metro spans up to 2000km w/o OEO

Broadband Services Down Island
Onshore optical networks quickly growing into multi-service ROADM applications
Broadband Wi-Fi/Wi-Nax, Mobility, Multi-service backhaul, etc.
Network infrastructure that can dynamically adapt to changing subscriber demands:
Reduces OpEx and CapEx while delivering Ethernet-based, on-demand servicesQuick and easy modifications of optical network designs as demands changeEliminate the need for traffic pre-planning and forecastingEliminate the need for truck rollsSupport complex topologies such as multi-ring and mesh with any to any connectivity and no back to back systems
Multi-Degree ROADM Flexibility
Provides rapid turn up of new wavelengths and sitesAllows efficient creation of access/subtended WDM rings off backbone network w/ ALL-OPTICAL signalsDoes not require back to back DWDM nodes

Summary – Upgrade Existing Festoon
Avoid expense of installing new cable system for more capacity
Retain economical operation & maintenance of unrepeatered festoon
Lower costs – substitute traditional undersea DWDM with all-range terrestrial DWDM
One Multi-Service DWDM system for onshore service delivery and offshore transport
