For the 3G core transport network, Nortel Networks proposes products from its OPTera
range. These products offer the most adanced features aaila!le and are widel" proen in
operation around the world. Nortel#s offer includes the OPTera $% optical la"er &'&(
s"stem, the OPTera (etro )*++ &'&( s"stem and the (etro ,&% solution for the
-T./N.
'ith the tremendous demand in the 3G network !andwidth due to the fast growing traffic in
wireless data, the !ack!one for 0%T 3G transport network should !e !uilt to handle these
coming challenge.
'ith the wireless data e1plosion driing up 3G network !andwidth re2uirements and
li!erali3ation fuelling competition in national and international markets the optical la"er is
fast !ecoming a ma4or area of 3G transport network deelopment.
The optical la"er is the latest weapon in the armor" of techni2ues to drie down the cost per
managed !it in transport networks. %oweer, the optimum distri!ution of network
functionalit" !etween the optical, ,&% and serice la"ers depends on the t"pe of demand, the
transmission distances and the network parameters inoled. 0onse2uentl", the minimum
cost per managed !it is o!tained with a dierse network architecture, which is tailored to suit
the traffic demands and the network circumstances

)PTera Packet Core
The OPTera Packet 0ore COP0D is a new, highl" scala!le la!el switch router designed around
a new reolutionar" switching fa!ric. 6t has !een specificall" designed as a carrier grade
product, !eing e1tremel" relia!le, self5healing, and non5!locking. The first configuration of
the OP0 will proide from *++G!it9s to 7.<T!it9s user !andwidth, with future releases
offering !andwidth up to 8++s of T!it9s.
The OPTera Packet 0ore uses (P$, to unif" the carriage of 6P, /T(, F., and T&( traffic. 6t
supports rich and sophisticated Ko, mechanisms, such as classification, policing, congestion
management, and scheduling. &ue to its low latenc" and an effectie
dela" ariance of 3ero, the OPTera Packet 0ore can handle the strict
re2uirements of real5time traffic such as oice and ideo.
One of the ke" design o!4ecties !ehind the OPTera Packet 0ore is the
delier" of carrier grade 6P network serices. The OP0 counters the
ma4or threats to serice aaila!ilit" throughE

Si'pli%ied )perations
OP0 supports non5serice affecting software upgrades, hot5swappa!le hardware upgrades,
and the moe to an (P$, network protocol minimises the num!er of routes to !e set up, with
the edge routers merel" re2uiring large pipes into the core unified network. %ence, central
configuration for ke" serices such as 6P ?PNs is possi!le, so reducing the potential for
configuration errors.
Carrier Grade 0esi=n
The OPTera Packet 0ore proides full hardware redundanc" and software optimised for the
serice proider enironment. OP0 offers non5!locking performance with no single point of
failure. /n" card failures result in gradual degradation of performance rather than ma4or
switch outage.
!=ile )ptical Internet !rchitect"re
The intelligent packet9optical inter5working COPTera Network 0ontrolD compensates for
pro!lems with congestion and9or ph"sical links, so reducing the effect of the other ma4or
downtime causes.
6n essence, the OPTera Packet 0ore switch has !een designed from the outset to delier
outstanding operational capa!ilities, and meet the !enchmark of ::.:::; network uptime 5
through application of design principles em!odied in all our carrier grade oice network
products. Nortel Networks is totall" committed to deliering the new 6nternet, where
congestion and network failure do not affect end5user e1perience, and which trul" ena!les the
6P reolution to delier startling !usiness process !enefits through the application of
widespread e50ommerce.
)PTera Network Control
Ne" among OPTera Packet ,olutions features is its a!ilit" to
intelligentl" share network topolog" and state information !etween the
packet and optical la"ers and take appropriate action. This process can
!e partiall" or full" automated, depending on %utchisons preference.
There are man" !enefits to smart packet9optical interworking,
includingE
$ower operations and capital costs arising from d"namic network optimisation
6ncreased network dependa!ilit", and

The a!ilit" to turn5up new serices faster.
/s one of the !asic !uilding !locks of OPTera Packet ,olution, OPTera Network 0ontrol
CON0D will proide smart packet9optical interworking capa!ilities. ON0 will monitor traffic
conditions and network topolog" information, looking for network optimisation opportunities.
'hen ON0 discoers these opportunities, it will recommend network configuration changes
to improe profita!ilit"
Thus, OPTera Network 0ontrol ena!les the optical la"er to intelligentl" reconfigure the
network to cope with link or node failure through e1amination of the traffic t"pe. For
e1ample, it is now possi!le to determine which traffic on the failed linkCsD is most profita!le 9
proisioned with premium aaila!ilit", and re5route that traffic opticall", while leaing the
packet la"ers to re5esta!lish 6P sessions for !est5efforts traffic.
(oreoer, the implementation of ON0 can !e configured to proide automatic, irtuall" real5
time network optimisation. The ON0 s"stem actiel" monitors the flows of packet traffic
through the network links and is a!le to re5allocate optical !andwidth to delier the re2uired
serice leels. Taking adantage of this capa!ilit", the optical network can !e designed at
lower cost, as less oerhead is re2uired to cope with peak traffic flows. This s"stem is moing
rapidl" towards the concept of a Flat Network, where edge deices set up paths across the
network, which self reconfigures !ased on the instantaneous traffic profiles.
The protocols used to communicate !etween the network elements and OPTera Network
0ontrol will !e open and made aaila!le to all endors.
)PTera Connect 0A
,cala!ilit"
OPTera 0onnect &O has a narrow footprint that can !e readil" and cost5
effectiel" scaled in increments of M=< ,T(8 ports up to a ma1imum of
3+M* ,T(8 ports or appro1imatel" +.) Tera!its per second, thus ena!ling a
more efficient match to differing hu! office si3e re2uirements. This
ma1imum scala!ilit" is integrated into an industr" leading compact lineup
of onl" four FT,69/N,6 compliant !a"s resulting in significant floor space and power
saings, as well as operational simplicit". 6n addition, integrated connection ?07 grooming
and add9drop functionalit".

(ulti5configuration 6nterconnect
Nortel Networks OPTera 0onnect &O acts as a network5aware cross5connect s"stem,
supporting multiple *975fi!re (,5,P.ing9&P.ing rings operating at different line rates
C8))(!ps to 8+G!psD, linear /&( and mesh configurations. This results in a rich set of
network functionalities that serice proiders can offer, including a serice5specific
suria!ilit" strateg", operational simplification and efficient traffic grooming without the
need for traditional e1ternal cross5connection facilities.
Optical Networking
/s a mem!er of Nortel Networks proen famil" of ,&% and Optical networking products, the
OPTera 0onnect &O s"stem interworks full" with its counterparts to proide a seamlessl"
