Application Drivers
The trend over the last several years has been to increase the broadband data access speeds by orders of magnitude in order to enable more bandwidth intensive services such as IP video on demand and mobile applications services. The main driver behind the increase in bandwidth is competition between service providers keen to capture customers and create new services revenue streams. Service providers are investing on upgrading wireless broadband and wire-line access networks to deliver more data at faster rates to customers enabling new revenue generating applications for service providers.
Opportunities and Challenges
A result of the growth in broadband access has been significant traffic growth in service providers' metro and regional networks. These networks provide the connectivity between customers, businesses, application servers and the internet. It is vital those metro and regional networks are cost effective while reliably enabling service connectivity. As broadband access bandwidth grows by orders of magnitude, it follows that the metro and regional networks are challenged with the same bandwidth demands. Service providers need to satisfy the increased bandwidth requirements while managing capital investments. Since the network requirements are growing exponentially, the current networks require new builds on new fiber links in order to match this capacity growth. Network capacity expansion using conventional optical networking systems does not scale forcing service providers into business models that offer low to negative returns on invested capital.
OpVista's Solution
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, Telecom 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 Telecom Service Providers' CapEx requirements by enabling advanced video and business services over their existing optical networks.
