Leveraging NFV Infrastructure to Drive RevenueADVA
The document discusses leveraging NFV infrastructure to drive new revenue streams. It defines NFV as replacing closed network appliances with virtual network functions that can run on any open hardware. While VNFs are typically run in the cloud, some functions need to be located in the access network for reasons like routing, security, and performance. The document proposes an NFVIaaS model where a facilities-based operator provides a server with virtual infrastructure in the access network, allowing service providers to host their VNFs locally without on-site equipment. This creates new revenue opportunities for operators and lower costs for service providers.
The document discusses ADVA Optical Networking's efforts to build a more sustainable business model. It describes how the company lacked a cohesive corporate social responsibility framework in 2010 but has since implemented a more comprehensive 10-dimensional model. This included conducting a life-cycle assessment, improving energy efficiency of its products, recovering and refurbishing used equipment from customers, and winning a game-changing challenge from BT to optimize logistics. The company has gained public recognition for its sustainability improvements.

Helmut Griesser from ADVA Optical Networking discusses quantum-safe cryptography and quantum key distribution. He explains that quantum computers pose a threat to current public key encryption algorithms. Quantum key distribution provides absolute security by using quantum properties, but has limitations such as decreasing key rates with distance. Post-quantum or quantum-safe cryptography relies on unproven computational assumptions rather than physical properties. The best approach may be to combine diverse key exchange mechanisms like post-quantum, quantum key distribution, and classic public key encryption to strengthen security.

N-degree ROADM Architecture Comparison: Broadcast-and-Select vs Route-and-SelectADVA
The document compares the Broadcast-and-Select and Route-and-Select architectures for N-degree ROADM nodes in 120 Gb/s DP-QPSK transmission systems. It finds that Broadcast-and-Select has slightly lower penalties than Route-and-Select for N=4 and 9 due to less passband narrowing accumulation, but Route-and-Select has better isolation and fixed insertion loss. For larger N, Route-and-Select is preferable to mitigate higher potential crosstalk. Experimental results validated the predicted penalties from combined passband and isolation degradation analysis.
This document provides an introduction to optical backbone networks. It discusses key topics like WDM, OTN, optical communication basics, and the future of packet optical integration.

The document discusses wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission basics. It describes:
1) Options for increasing bandwidth including SDM, TDM, and WDM.
2) Varieties of WDM including conventional WDM with 2 wavelengths, DWDM with 100GHz spacing in the C-band, and CWDM with 3000GHz spacing.
3) The components of a DWDM network including transmitters, multiplexers, amplifiers, optical fiber, and receivers.
Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that multiplexes multiple optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths of laser light. Modern WDM systems can handle up to 160 signals and expand a basic 10 Gbit/s fiber system to a theoretical total capacity of over 1.6 Tbit/s. There are two main types: coarse WDM (CWDM) uses channel spacings of 20 nm while dense WDM (DWDM) uses narrower spacings of 0.4 nm, allowing DWDM to carry more channels. WDM reduces fiber plant requirements by allowing multiple connections over one fiber.
This document provides an overview of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology. It discusses key topics such as optical transmission, DWDM components like multiplexers/demultiplexers and amplifiers, DWDM networks and topologies, and transmission quality parameters. The presentation contains 32 slides and is intended to briefly explain DWDM as a means of achieving effective fiber-optic transmission and increasing bandwidth.
The document discusses Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) principles. It describes WDM as a technology that uses the properties of refracted light to combine and separate optical signals based on their wavelengths. Key components of a WDM system include optical multiplexers and demultiplexers, optical amplifiers, and transponder units. The document also covers topics such as fiber types, dispersion, modulation techniques, and linear and non-linear effects in WDM systems.

ePRTC in data centers - GNSS-backup-as-a-service (GBaaS)ADVA
Accurate timing is essential for effective operations in today’s data centers. An ePRTC synchronization source can offer the levels of precise synchronization required and remove vulnerability to GNSS outages. With the latest optical timing channel (OTC) technology, PTP-optimized optical transport can be used to distribute accurate timing all the way from the core of the network to the edge. What’s more, this can be delivered through GNSS/GPS-backup-as-a-service (GBaaS), whereby a specialized service provider operates a robust and reliable network, supplying precise and secure timing as a backup to highly vulnerable GNSS. In his ITSF 2022 presentation, Igal Pinhasov explored the value of utilizing GBaaS to provide accurate time for data centers using optical timing channel technology over long distances.

Optical networks and the ecodesign tradeoff between climate change mitigation...ADVA
1. Optical networks face several environmental challenges including high power consumption that outpaces efficiency increases, e-waste generation that exceeds recycling capabilities, and reliance on critical raw materials.
2. Timely equipment replacement aims to minimize total lifetime emissions but contradicts circular economy goals, demonstrating the complex tradeoffs between climate mitigation and adaptation that optical network design entails.
3. Both maximizing the carbon savings enabled by digitalization and improving the sector's climate change adaptation are necessary to help meet climate targets while ensuring raw material and waste sustainability.
Trends in next-generation data center interconnects (DCI)ADVA

Open optical edge connecting mobile access networksADVA
Generic optics, developed for applications different from RANs, may not fit the requirements of the mobile transport network. Optical components natively conceived for radio access and based on technologies driven by its requirements (right optics at the right time and the right cost) would accelerate the pace at which RANs are deployed and decrease the relative cost of the optics as part of the total RAN solution. In this session, Jim Zou looked at how emerging innovation is enhancing networking energy efficiency. While today’s solutions focus on high-end performance and end user experience, tomorrow’s infrastructure must also balance energy efficiency with varying traffic loads, and designs focused on sustainability.

From leased lines to optical spectrum servicesADVA
This document discusses optical spectrum as a service, which allows communication service providers (CSPs) to sell unused optical spectrum. Advances in coherent transport and flexgrid open line systems now enable CSPs to segment spectrum into slices and assign them to different users. This transforms spectrum into a new service that CSPs can offer beyond traditional leased lines. Realizing spectrum as a service requires an open line system with programmable spectrum allocation, flexible grid technology, service demarcation functions, and network slicing through open control and management. Several examples demonstrate how spectrum services are being implemented in multi-domain and multi-operator networks.
