Which ROADM Technology is best? Full Flexible, WSS based ROADMs Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) ROADM: § Utilizes a single element to multiplex AND demux all express and all add/drop wavelengths § Contains a built-in Optical Switch which can direct/select one or more wavelengths to/from any port § Provides Automated, per channel equalization on all wavelengths § Typically includes full Optical Power Monitoring on all wavelengths § Can be configured for truly colorless ports for widely tunable lasers & dynamic wavelength management § Can be modular (low first in costs) or fully installed on day one Key Features: MP-WSS * Manages all wavelengths * Lower system cost * No OEO Pass-thru tax O P M * Fully Flexible Ports enable: Any wavelength to any port Flexible Drops Flexible Adds Supports Tunable lasers Dynamic Management 1 3 4 5 + 7 Jumper-less provisioning * Multiple wavelengths/ drop port ROADM MODULE Mesh node capability Ring interconnection 4 Confidential

ROADM Networks Summary § Customers have recognized that low OPEX is now just as important as the lowest CAPEX § ROADM Modules are just one part of realizing the Next Generation Agile Optical Network § Other technologies such as automated planning tools, widely tunable lasers, optical backplanes, Pluggables, and GMPLS can dramatically simplify planning, operation & management § Selection of the right kind of ROADM is crucial to realizing these savings (Colorless Port, modular, WSS based ROADMs are the best choice) MP-WSS O P M Flexible Drops Flexible Adds § These systems must be designed from the ground up to realize their full potential (Bolt-on ROADMs don’t work) § Digital ROADM Hybrid Solution may offer the best flexibility and lowest overall cost 100 G 40 G 10 G 2. 5 G 12 Confidential
