Concept 1. Introduction 1.1 About ECI ECI Telecom is a leading global provider of intelligent infrastructure, offering platforms and solutions tailored to meet the escalating demands of tomorrow's services. Our comprehensive Comprehensive solution as part of SmartLight™ - Framework, defines ECI’s total focus on optimal transition to Next- Generation Networks, through the unique combination of innovative and multi-functional segments like; P-OTS (Apollo) LightApps (Applications), LightControl (SDN controller) and LightSec (Cyber Security 'Hexagon' model). ECI vision is Driving smart, communication beyond connectivity The purpose of this document is to provide detailed information about the proposed solution for VIVO DWDM networks. 1.2 ECI P-OTS Offering Apollo is a NG Flexiable Packet-Optical Transport portfolio integrating Layer0 (pure DWDM photonics), Layer1 OTN switching (ODU-XC) technology, Layer2-MPLS-TP switching and Layer3 solution, providing a strong OAM model equally applicable to circuit and packet traffic, and offering an integrated multi-layer management view for Efficient Lowest TCO. The Apollo family offers a wide range of 10Gbps, 40Gbps (coherent) and 100Gbps (coherent) optical transceivers aggregated into 44/88/96 Fixed-grid DWDM channels or Fixed-grid DWDM spectral allocation based on Fix/Flex-grid ROADM links (with or without Mux/Demux filters). In addition, ECI intends to support 400G and 1T transceivers as part of Apollo solution. The Apollo products include a range of platforms that span metro access, edge, and core/regional/long haul requirements. Based on modular building blocks and a series of cost-optimized platforms, Apollo gives operators the option to implement several configurations:  Pure photonic ( DWDM Amplifers, ROADMs, Transponders, etc.) – Apollo OPT96xx family.  High Scale OTN switching (ODU-XC), Layer2 switching (MPLS-TP) and Layer3 – Apollo OPT99xx family.  Cross Layer High scale LightSoftTM management System (can manage up to 20K NEs), LightControlTM (SDN Controller), LightAppsTM (SDN Applications) and LightSecTM (Cyber Security 'Hexagon' model). Passive optical components (a variety of Mux/Demux types, Splitter/Coupler types, DCF types, OSC filters and other filter types) can be installed either in Apollo platforms or in Artemis platforms. Artemis platforms are totally passive chassis, used as a complementary solution to Apollo chassis in order to offload Apollo "active" slots into Artemis "passive" slots. Using Artemis together with Apollo achieves most cost-optimized optical solution. Apollo offers operators significant future proofing, since networks can be designed and deployed gradually, minimizing initial investment to the current essentials, without a risk of stranding assets, without a risk of limiting future options due to initial deployment decisions, and without a risk of committing to a solution that will be less optimized for one type of traffic in favor of another.

Figure 1: Apollo Portfolio - Summary chart Figure 2: Apollo 10GbE/100GbE client capacity - Summary chart For the given Models and Scenaries the Multidegree ROADMs, the best of breed EDFA amplifiers and Ultra Long Haul and Long Haul 100G transceivers together with High Capacity OPT9914/OPT9932 OTN switching (5.6T/16T) are the main building blocks today, while being ready for MPLS-TP services for future use cases ECI Telecom – Proprietary and Confidential Page 9 of 105 Operator Logo Technical Concept ECI's focus on providing practical solutions, part of our integrated SmartLight™ - Framework, offers a perfect fit for VIVO use cases, from network planning, consulting, installing, and commissioning, through to managed services – all in a one-stop shop. Main benefits of ECI’s Apollo solution for VIVO LH ,Metro and ULH DWDM networks are as follows:  Improved protection and restoration mechanisms in an optical network level when implementing OCH1+1 (two TRPs), OLP( single TRP), WSON restoration or ASON restoration with ODU-XC. Optical protection is based on Signal Degraded (Preformance Monitoring counters) and BER thresholds enables sub 50msec switchover.  Having a cost optimized OCH protection level using a single transponder and OLP (Optical Line Protection) while keeping high performance and reliability as the OLP switch-over is based on fiber cut or channel loss.  LightPulse – smart alagoritem for equalization, operation and maintenance, providing real time OSNR, Non-linear, fiber loss and other optical indications from remote (via LightSoft)  Real Ultra Long Haul 100G preformances, based on best in bread coherent transceivers, transmiting elastic rate 2x100G, 2x150G and 2x200G according to traffic path OSNR.  Superior Alien Lambda solution, leveraging the new infrastructure for supporting existing install base from 3rd party vendors, or for Carriers-of-Carriers model.  End-to-end GUI friendly management.  Future ready – When upgrading a network to future rates, as 400Gbps and 1Tbps, it will require to replace an interface in the IP platform (in case of inherent DWDM transceivers in the IP platform), when differentiating the DWDM network from IP network , the operator can keep using the exisitng IP platforms install base (namely 100Gbps interfaces and base cards) and connect them to 4x100Gbps/10x100Gpbs combiners.
