“Bend” the cost-curve by

addressing;

- Bandwidth-Scalability

- Complexity, and

- Uncertainty


Addressing networking costsBy combining programmable hardware with advanced software applications

Extract maximum value

from network investments,

massively scale at the

lowest cost-per-bit

and fully monetize

available bandwidth

“Will 100G wave work?”

“Will 200G wave work?” “Need 400G

from A-Z”“Based on service policy, 2 x 200G optimal”

“Recommended placement is xx nm”

“This is what you need to order”

Where to place on spectrum?
