Application Drivers
Video content and the ability to have access to that content anytime and anywhere are revolutionizing the telecommunications services industry. The entire service provider community has strategic investment initiatives to upgrade access to wire-line and wireless networks to increase the bandwidth per user. In addition, video content is becoming more personalized which means that in comparison to the broadcast model each viewer is getting their own programming data stream. This individualized service available anytime anywhere combined with the demand for high definition content drives the bandwidth requirements in the access, metro and regional network dramatically. Clearly there are compression technologies such as MPEG-4 that improve the bandwidth needs; however, the insatiable demand for content fore shadows these incremental improvements.
Opportunities and Challenges
The opportunity for service providers is to deliver new services and grow revenue from the services by enabling new content viewing experiences for users. The challenge is that existing networks were designed with limited capacity for high revenue per bit services like TDM voice. Conventional DWDM networks are unable to expand cost effectively and require new builds with more expensive solutions for delivering higher fiber capacity. In comparison to conventional DWDM transport systems that require new builds or network redesigns OpVista's solution allows service providers to deliver more bandwidth capacity on existing network with incremental investments.
OpVista's Solution
OpVista's extensive experience in providing optical networking solutions that deliver video and data content cost effectively and efficiently over a variety of network architectures from broadcast, to multicast, unicast data. The power of OpVista's video transport solution enabled by its capability to deliver any wavelength to any network element is that the network can transition from one distribution architecture without having to make additional investments.
OpVista's Optical Networking solutions meet the challenge and enable service providers to deploy metro and regional transport networks more economically while satisfying the need for capacity expansion. Specifically, OpVista delivers a platform that expands wavelength bandwidth from 10G to 100G on today's 10G infrastructure without the need for expensive rebuilds. In addition, OpVista delivers integrated packet level aggregation services to allow Service Providers to more effectively utilize and manage their bandwidth capacity. OpVista offers Service Providers a carrier-class Optical Networking Solution (ONS) that delivers a flexible, reliable, and expandable transport services in a cost effective package. OpVista's state of the art system combines innovative fiber capacity technology with intelligent network planning and management capabilities to deliver significant capital and operational savings while enabling the delivery of high-speed metro/regional services (Wavelengths, Optical Ethernet, SONET/SDH and more). With OpVista's ONS, Service Providers are prepared to cost effectively meet the services delivery challenges and opportunities of today and into the future. The OpVista line of metro/regional optical network platforms minimize Service Providers' CapEx requirements by enabling advanced video and business services over their existing optical networks.
