Emulated Services over PSN for TS2009 Slide 2

Outline

• Pseudowire/TDMoIP Concept

• Market Overview, Customers and trends

• Applications and benefits

• Product Offering



What is TDM PWE / TDMoIP?

• Protocol for extending TDM circuits over PSN: IP, Ethernet or MPLS

• Terminology

• TDMoIP

• Circuit Emulation(CE)

• Pseudowire (PWE)

• PWE provides:

• Transparency to signaling protocols (CAS, PRI, SS7…)

• Ideal for voice, video & data applications

• Investment Protection – migration to PSN without compromising rich legacy features


RAD’s TDM Pseudowire Solution

• Preserves investment in legacy equipment in migration to PSN

• Carrier-grade TDM voice or data over packet networks

• Low latency but no compression

• Maintains clock synchronization

• Lowers OpEx of TDM service by utilizing packet infrastructure

Target Customers

• Enterprises, government and public institutes

• Preserving investment in legacy TDM equipment

• Reducing monthly transport cost

• Carriers

• Alternative carriers can increase revenue by selling TDM services

• Incumbents can reduce OpEx – one transport network


Market Trends

• Growing availability of PSN with QoS and traffic engineering in the WAN

• Growing fiber deployment to the Business (xPON)

• Incumbents are pressed to reduce OpEx and evaluating TDM PW

• Standardization

• RAD is considered as market leader in TDM PW with good products (70% of the market)

Over 110,000 RAD TDMoverIP ports installed since 2000

Over 50,000 RAD TDMoverIP ports installed in the last two years only



Legacy Leased Lines over any Packet Access Technology

Target Customers:

• Alternative Carriers and Cables MSOs

• Enterprises and public institutes looking to save on leased line costs

• Incumbents in migration or out of their network reach

Business Case – USA 12/2008

“Speakeasy Provides Cost Savings for Small Businesses, Cutting

Ethernet Broadband Prices and Doubling T1 Speed”

• Price for 2 x T1 leased lines (3 Mbps): $760 per month

• Price for 3 Mbps Ethernet bandwidth: $380 per month

• ROI for IPmux-24/FE/2T1: $1815/$380 = 4.7 months

Note: The cost of E1/T1 leased line is proportional to the distance and can be higher than what is mentioned above

Cellular Backhaul over Packet

Target Customers: Telecoms, incumbent and alternative, selling services to cellular operators

Benefits:

• Supports multiple operators at the same tower

• Provides reliable replacement for cellular backhaul comparable to TDM, with jitter and wander conforming to G.823 and 16ppb clock accuracy

• CapEx savings: Eliminates the need for accurate clock source at every base station
