High-Capacity Transmission Network (DWDM) By Robert Danon

Network Challenges of Today’s Telecom Networks 1. Constant increasing demand for Bandwidth Capacity to provide the services required by customers • No bottlenecks (same performance in the WAN as in the LAN)
Challenges of Today’s Telecom Networks • Enterprise Customers: • Use of High Bandwidth Capacities for: • Manufacturing applications; • Large file transfers; • Multimedia (videoconferencing, image/video broadcasting,..); • Internet/Intranet applications; • Storage Area Networks; • Interconnections between different offices (Centralization of the services); • Service Providers • High-Capacity trunking services between facilities: • Central & Regional Offices • Hosting Centers • POP’s,…...
Challenges of Today’sTelecomNetworks 2. Deploying & Integrating diverse Transport Technologies in one physical structure • Transport technologies: • Ethernet (10/100/Giga) • SDH, ATM, FR • ESCON, FICON, Fibre Channel,
How to provide more Bandwidth Capacity? 1. Use/Lay more fiber links & Transmission Equipment • Use of traditional TDM Transport Technologies (ex. SDH) Total available Bandwidth remains limited to the Capacity of the Network Equipments of the Backbone (ex. STM-16) • Data transmission achieved by means of a single beam of white light • As maximum capacity is reached, need to “light” another beam on another fiber link • Expensive solution
How to provide more Bandwidth Capacity? (2)
How to provide more Bandwidth Capacity? (3) 2. Upgrade to Higher-Speed TDM Network Equipments • Simple extension of the Backbone Capacity: • 2,5 Gbps (STM-16) to 10 Gbps (STM-64) • 40 Gbps ??? (Next step in SDH Hierarchy) • Total available Bandwidth remains limited to the Capacity of the Network Equipments. • Data transmission achieved by means of a single beam of white light • As maximum capacity is reached, need to “light” another beam on another fiber link • Expensive Solution
How to provide more Bandwidth Capacity? (4) • DENSE WAVE DIVISION MULTIPLEXING • Fiber-Optic Transmission Technique using light wavelengths to transmit Data Flows
DWDM Principle: • Split the same beam of white light by frequency (colors) into separate wavelengths; • Assign incoming signals to a specific “lambda”(Color) • Multiplex the result on a single fiber link
DWDM (2) • Each resulting wavelength can be considered as a “Virtual Fiber Link” and is totally independent from the others. • Each Lambda is provisioned & controlled by a frequency-specific laser: • Each lambda can carry the same total amount of data (2,5/10 Gbps)
ATM Optical Fibre Gigabit Ethernet Fibre Channel ESCON DWDM (3) • Each lambda is Protocol Independent (bit-rate & format)
DWDM: Advantages • Scalability: • “Grow-as-you-go” Infrastructure • DWDM infrastructure is designed to provide a graceful network evolution for service providers • Huge Bandwidth Capability • Transport Capacity of one Lambda is at least 2.5 Gbps • Flexibility: • Capacity can be expanded in any portion of the network (no other technology can offer this) • Versatility: • Only mean for service providers to integrate the existing diverse transport technologies into one physical infrastructure
DWDM : Advantages (2) Enterprise Network Ethernet TDM Circuits Frame Relay IP VPN ATM SDH Network Services Optical Services (DWDM) Fiber
DWDM: Advantages (3) Network • More efficient use of the intrinsic capacity of the fiber network • Less equipment investments • Bottlenecks suppression • Same performance in the WAN as in the LAN
DWDM: Advantages • Possibility to lease individual wavelengths to High-Use Customers • Possibility for centralization of IT Infrastructure, applications and services: • Servers (E-mail, Office, Data Bases,….) • Internet (costs, protections/firewalls,….) • Application Development • Disaster Recovery Strategy • Dedicated High-Speed Trunks toward DR Centers • Better Cost Control
DWDM: Services • Basic Level: Unprotected Point-to-Point Connection • 2.5 or 10 Gbps • Customers keep the choice to maintain & manage the NTE’s • Level 2: Protected Services • Geographical protection through diverse-routed fiber connections between 2 service points • Customers keep the choice to maintain & manage the NTE’s • Level 3: Managed Wavelength Services • The Service Provider manages the DWDM connection and the NTE’s on either end • Level 4: Custom Build Wavelength Services • Includes managed network services & a managed wavelength transport solution to run multiple protocols
International Backbone • B-TELECOM • 3500 km Fibre-Optic Infrastructure along the railway lines • National Coverage • Installed cables up-to borders of all adjacent countries • Belgium = Crossroad • Easy interconnects country-to-country with foreign local operators • Possibility to extend our Backbone Network outside Belgium • 2 Countries connected today: • Luxemburg • France
Our DWDM proposal towards Luxembourg Origin: • Few active players on the B - L axis • Demands for high-bandwidth transmission capacity from entreprises operating in sectors as: • TV Broadcasting • Operators / ISP • IT • Finance • Limited fibre infrastructure for commercial purposes
Our Service proposal towards Luxembourg Partners: • P&T Lux Transmission Services • Cegecom Transmission Services • e-BRC Collocation & Disaster Recovery
Our proposal towards Luxembourg P&T Lux: • National Coverage • Redundant Physical interconnect • 2 routes: • BRU - LV - LG - GOUVY - LUX • BRU - NAM- ARL- ATHUS - LUX • 2 active Rings today • SDH STM-16 • DWDM • Voice, Data, Internet
Our proposal towards Luxembourg Cegecom: • National Backbone • Physical interconnect • 2 routes: • BRU - LV - LG - GOUVY - LUX (e-BRC) • BRU - NAM- ARL- ATHUS - LUX • 1 active Ring today • SDH • Voice, Data, Internet
