Opportunities for Xcelerated Solutions

10 Gigabit network speeds require a high bandwidth fiber

50/125 µm fiber is the fiber default for 10 Gigabit networks

Applications Driving Xcelerated Solutions

Gigabit-to-the-Desk is common because of Routine sharing of large files Convergence (Voice, Video, Data) Multitasking

Multiple high bandwidth applications opened simultaneously Increased bandwidth for higher performance and elimination of

bottlenecks equals Increased efficiency Increased diversity

Higher speeds to the desktop require even greater speeds in the backbone
