Philosophy


    •Security,
  •availability,
   •scalability,
 •manageability.
Availability
•Networks are designed to minimize the
occurrence of service problems

•Redundancy based design.

•Capacity to be higher than minimum to
cater for
      increased traffic loads
      bandwidth intensive applications

•SlowtimeTM
Network must not only be up but
throughput must be maximised.

•High performance / bandwidth solutions
Flexibility / Scalability



    •Ability to grow with your business
    •System must adapt to ever-
    changing network requirements
    •Scalable deployment of network

Why are there no applications @ 1400nm?

 ANSWER:              HIGH LOSS!!!
                      1350nm to 1450nm (E-band)
                      traditionally no operation due to high loss.

•1280 to 1625nm
•highest loss at 1383nm
•loss caused by hydroxl ions in the glass
•traditional manufacturing process unable to remove these ions.
•Commonly known as “Water Peak”
•Ordinary singlemode fiber (G.652 compliant fiber) suffers from
this problem.
Zero Water Peak Full Spectrum fiber
        Singlemode Fiber


− 9um SINGLEMODE
− G.652.C compliant
− no water peak
− removes Hydroxl ions from fiber
− Increases capacity per Fiber
    − Due to elimination of water peak causing high loss
    − 60% more usable wavelengths
    − Maximizes support for CWDM / DWDM
− Low Cost Future Proofing for Next Generation Equipment
