Vtesse: Built for Speed The Tellabs 7100 Nano OTS also protects Vtesse’s
investment by using convergence at the optical layer to accommodate future expansion. As a result, at any site where it deploys the Tellabs 7100 Nano system, Vtesse can deliver up to 88 wavelengths of service (10Gbps or 40Gbps) without adding a whole new system or network connection. The Tellabs solution also protects Vtesse’s embedded invest-
ments by using a multi-layered approach that basically puts everything under a single roof. Vtesse can now retain multiple existing network elements and use the Tellabs 7100 Nano system as a bridge between all of them. The Tellabs®

Management System also gives Vtesse engineers the end-to- end visibility they need to ensure topnotch performance and helps Vtesse reduce its OpEx with simpler configurations.
Fast and Cost-Effective In March 2011, Vtesse launched the project’s first phase: a 13-degree ROADM network across London. ROADM-based systems connect 6 Vtesse sites, while 2 fixed-optical ADM systems link 2 additional locations. Together, they support the delivery of high-speed services throughout the city, including high-speed access to the London Internet Exchange. “The ROADM and fixed-optical systems work seamlessly
together to give a more cost-effective deployment that enables service providers to reach more customers with more services,” says Robert Shore, Tellabs’ sales solution manager for Vtesse. “Each Tellabs 7100 Nano OTS supports virtually every type of business service across a dynamic optical

infrastructure. Vtesse can deploy any kind of service between any location and turn up those services quickly. This capability results in Vtesse being able to drive down OpEx costs and increase competiveness.” The “rate-agile” interfaces of the Tellabs 7100 Nano
system directly address Vtesse’s need for highly flexible bandwidth provisioning. That design means Vtesse can software-provision the same physical interface for practically any type of service. In addition, the Tellabs 7100 Nano system’s dynamic optical-networking capabilities further enhance the ease and

PARTNERING FOR SUCCESS Besides deploying the Tellabs®
7100 Nano™ Optical
Transport System and using Tellabs engineering services, Vtesse is also participating in the Tellabs Enterprise Partnership Program. Tellabs designed the program to help service providers identify new opportunities and land new business. Tellabs also will train Vtesse’s sales team to educate prospective customers about what the new network can do for them. Through joint public relations and marketing
efforts, including attendance at trade shows and other venues, Tellabs will help market Vtesse’s network and services. Tellabs also will work with a third-party company to help generate qualified leads for the Vtesse sales team. “It’s all part of the Tellabs mission to both deliver
advanced networking solutions and to help service providers such as Vtesse build on success and ensure long-term growth,” says Robert Shore, Tellabs’ sales solution manager for Vtesse.
speed of service turn-ups. The platform’s DWDM optics and its ROADM optical connectivity enable Vtesse to provision new services over an existing optical wavelength. Or, Vtesse can provision new services over a new wavelength established with simple insertion of interface cards at the end-points of the service. “Vtesse can put cards in at either end of the network and
then software-provision everything in between, including the services provided on the endpoints,” Shore says. “That adds up to ease, flexibility and access to massive bandwidth.”
Amid Construction, Customers Sign On Even before the Vtesse-Tellabs engineering team completed Phase 1 in May, one customer had already gone live on some sections of the network. Vtesse confirmed that the rapid provisioning of services enabled by the Tellabs deployment was key to securing the business, given the customer’s aggressive implementation timelines. That initial win shows Vtesse already realizing its goals—
including expanding the capabilities of its network and winning new business—while setting it up for even more success down the road.
