Waves History: Early Wave Experiments 1727: Giovanni Pittoni, Monument to Isaac Newton Global Crossing Proprietary
Optical Wavelength Services Only 1 year on the market: • Monday April 24, 2000, Rochester, N.Y.Global Crossing (NYSE:GX) Introduces Wholesale Optical Wavelength Service • Tuesday May 9, 2000, Las Vegas, NVLevel 3 Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:LVLT) today announced the introduction of Global Wavelength services. Wave Definition (GX): • 2.5 & 10 Gb/s optical route through the network via an interconnection at the optical multiplex systemsNote that: • Full transparency not always guaranteed • Wave may actually be muxed into higher aggregate stream (i.e. 40 Gb/s) Global Crossing Proprietary
PREFERRED: Overhead Transparent Carrier Network Customer Mesh Network Can the full 2.5 G capacity be used for IP? Packet Customer view: • End-to-end link: Protection handled at IP multiplex layers • Protection features of SDH/SONET are generally unexploited. • Transparent end-to-end link allows in-band TMN signaling • Signal protocol must be consistent (i.e. SONET OR SDH) Global Crossing Proprietary

“…Like the final supernova of a brilliant star, SONET will blow up to thousands of times its original brightness - - just before it caves in in itself to a dark, silent death.” • George Gilder, Forbes ASAP, 1999 Wavelengths will rule the network by end 2002 Global Crossing Proprietary

Wavelengths and the Future • Optical Wave services have caused a network revolution: • Core long distance SDH/SONET Rings will be replaced by Meshed networks using Wave Cross-Connects • Re-invention of “PDH-like” (pre-SDH) network architecture • Semi-Automated optical route protection done < 50 ms • Improved transport infrastructure will exist for IP/packet services • Electrical/Optical Grooming switches will emerge at periphery • Automated Restoration (algorithm/GMPLS driven) becomes technically feasible. Operational implementation will take beyond 2002 • In the mean time… keep on surfing the waves. mail: gnieveld@globalcrossing.com Global Crossing Proprietary
