Fiber to Every Substation • Automation of substations with centralized visibility, advanced manageability, and wide area coordination • Foundation for utility-scale applications • Storage • Distributed Generation • High-performance backhaul for many types of AMI • Strategically-positioned points of connectivity for • emergency services, • disaster support, • commercial communications, • cellular and internet penetration
Utilities Perspective Fiber Deployment • Investing in fiber, at least to every substation carries no risk, either technically or economically • High-performance infrastructure that interconnects the Operations Centers and Substations serves as a spinal column of a utility system with support for multiple applications
Optical Market Segments Optical Access Capabilities of fiber optic access offer increased scalability and reliability Migration to packet networks requires effective TDM transition CWDM and PON provide fiber relief Metro WDM DWDM and multiplexer technology effectively addresses Metro aggregation and transport needs Represents a natural next step for our Ethernet aggregation platform Long Haul and Core Wavelength switching and agility offer versatile and resilient optical transport capabilities Integrated TDM and packet switching drive additional platform requirements (evolution from pure optical transport)
Typical Apps from cell sites Scenario – Multiple Customers-High Voltages Cell Site Provider 1OC-3 ILEC CO Cell Site HVP >20,000 V OSS CO LAN Fiber COT Mux Cell Site Provider 1DS3 Cell Site Provider 12 DS1s 7
The Situation – Smart Grid There are two different classes of products for Power Companies: NEBS compliant for Telecom apps IEEE 1613 compliant for Substation apps The problem: The two product lines come from different vendors and have different OAM&P, training requirements, price points, and feature sets. The goal: Consolidate those two categories into one product line with unique hard appliqués for the differing requirements.
NEBS vs 1613 NEBS 3 A Telcordia standard for equipment to be utilized in the Public Network. IEEE 1613 An IEEE standard for use in Electric Power Substations
