Multi-protocol ADMReducing the Cost of Infrastructure using Fewer Wavelengths
Typical Point to Point Transport Solution Multi-Protocol ADM
Less Equipment, Better Utilization of your infrastructureLess Equipment = Lower Ongoing Costs (Power)Can be implemented over a wavelength or leased service
Page 19
Aggregation of services without the Ekinops Multi-Protocol ADM takes 2 line cards (source and dest) and 1 wavelength for each service type being aggregated.
Aggregation of services with the Ekinops Multi-Protocol ADM takes 1 line card for each site (regardless of number of protocols dropped) and 1 wavelength is shared across all aggregation sites.
Page 20
Multi-Protocol/Rate ADM using the unique card C1008DC
Multiple service types and rates can be added and dropped off of a single 10G wavelength shared by multiple sites with only 1 muxponder at each site
Page 20
Page 21
Serving Multiple Applications more Efficiently
More efficiently aggregate traffic from multiple applications using the multi-rate, multi-protocol ADM
And you can do this on 1 fiber, with fewer amplifiers

Deliver an uncompressed high definition video signal (HD)
Broadcasters need to access HD content from studios, live events (Sports, news and political conventions) and post-production companies
Although transporting SDI and HD SDI can be achieved by compressing these signals, the quality is enhanced when these signals are transported in their uncompressed format.

40G 100GHz Muxponder ArchitectureFlexible Multiplexing and Add Drop of Lower Rates Services
The 40G 100GHz Muxponder utilizes 10G Chameleon Cards to Multiplex virtually any mix of protocols into the 40G line
Each Chameleon could be a native 10G with no lower rate services or one of the Chameleon cards with the desired multiplexing capability
Chameleon cards can be added one at a time to provide a true "pay as you grow" architecture
Each Chameleon can be a single slot or double slot depending on the mix of traffic being multiplexed. Single and Double can be mixed.
With the double wide, each underlying service can be added and dropped (ADM capability supported for each service)
Allows for a Multi-Rate, Multi-Protocol ADM into 1 40G Wavelength only requiring 1 transponder at each site
Does not require separate Multiplexing cards for rates under 10G like other 40G muxponders
Reduces hardware costs by more than 50% for complex multiplexing applications
