In the second part of this four part presentation, the Interoute and Transmode CTOs consider the challenges for operators of the need to change their business models, for example as the backhaul network becomes a differentiator for mobile operators, and the value of connectivity rather than content.

On the topic of deploying services profitably, Verizon, Juniper Networks and Fujitsu Network Communications consider how to simplify connectivity for the end user, the technologies that could facilitate this, such as OTN and the latest ROADMs, and how to use capacity more efficiently.

Perspectives from a systems vendor and a service provider. Initially, the two CTOs from Transmode and Interoute exchange views on meeting customer requirements at the right price, moving on to 100G adoption and the technologies required for ubiquitous connectivity.

This being the first part of a four part discussion, Interoute and Transmode here exchange views on the need to build and optimise products for specific applications or markets by determining what specific features are required at the right price, rather than selling all singing, all dancing, expensive solutions.

Brief introduction to Alcatel-Lucent's next generation converged OTN and WDM platform as demonstrated at WDM & Next Generation Optical Networking in Monte Carlo, at the core of which is a powerful Bell Labs-developed chip delivering up to 4 Tbit/s of OTN switching capability.

Glenn Wellbrock of Verizon chairs a discussion with Hans-Juergen Schmidtke of Juniper Networks and Near Margalit of Source Photonics on how systems vendors and network providers can work with the optical component developers to generate and maintain innovation in the industry.
