Lucent Technologies Wavelength Extension Solution Metropolis - Manual (Page 3)

Simplifies compatibility with
bit-transparency
This solution offers bit-transparent lambdas at a
fraction of metro-managed DWDM systems costs. The
ITU-T grid-compatible lambdas for DWDM and OADM
systems, and the SONET/DWDM standards-compliant
features, facilitates the ability of these products to
interwork with a variety of vendor’s equipment.
Supports precise billing to
match bandwidth changes
The Metropolis ® Wavelength Extension Solution
allows you to alter bandwidth easily. You can remotely
change a customer’s bandwidth while in-service when
the provided bandwidth is exceeded, or at your
customer’s request. The network management system
tracks these changes so you can bill customers based
on their exact bandwidth usage.
