Trang 2and 99.999% availability, these concepts represent the starting point of any discussion on value-added services The business exposure is enormous as even the most minute of failures can lead to irrecoverable losses And
in the United States, federal law now mandates ness continuity For carriers, a managed-services busi-ness strategy must include a technology strategy that can support the critical needs of business customers The only serious answer is a high availability broadband network (HABN)
At ADC, we know the value that carriers place on the success of HABN networks for their end customers
We know that each and every deploy-ment is crucial, that integration is extremely difficult, and that it takes a tremendous amount of resources to deploy HABN networks time and on-budget We know precisely how difficult it is to install, commission and integrate the required network elements successfully We also know that
we help reduce the complexity of HABN ring deployments
Working with ADC helps to ensure complete success for your HABN project We've completed more than
20 successful HABN ring deployments for a large U.S.-based Tier 1 carrier, making us one of the most expe-rienced systems integrators for HABN deployments Each of these projects was delivered to the most strin-gent of standards as measured by customer quality-assurance auditors
Our experience is only part of the reason that ADC is the right choice for your HABN project We've built a new network integration center dedicated to optical DWDM deployments This new lab, located in Atlanta,
is our home for proof of concept testing, customer demonstrations, technical procedure development and testing, problem simulation and resolution, and resource training
Reliability Redundancy Security
For businesses that depend on
hundreds of petabytes of data
Trang 3Our unique experience and commitment to HABN make us intimately familiar with all processes, configurations, equipment, and commissioning and integration requirements We also understand the nuances of these complex deployments, and that knowledge helps us build success into every project
In addition to our unique experience with rings, we offer our strength as a national vendor with flexible pricing models
With our focus on HABN, it makes sense to work with the one company that has the experience, expertise and resources to make your project a complete success Your customers demand the highest possible level of service available, and your choice of professional services partner has a direct effect on the quality of your infrastructure ADC is
a proven partner in success

ENGINEERING SERVICES
Our 20 years of experience with multivendor,
multitechnology, multiservice networks allows
us to build comprehensive integration solutions
that reduce risk and deliver results Our unique
experience in DWDM deployments ensures the
highest level of engineering expertise available
Our engineers gather information from
HABN-provided logical ring diagrams, OEM-HABN-provided
bill of materials, site surveys, and other sources
to produce a customized Engineering Design
Package The EDP is a comprehensive engineering
document that includes site specific details and
overall ring architecture information including:
• Network diagram
• Job information
• Site directions
• Customer deliverables
• Task list/installation notes
• Floor plan diagram
• Cable rack diagram
• Fiber raceway diagrams
• Power and grounding diagrams
• Top and bottom support diagrams

• Shelf layout diagrams
• Signal flow/fiber run diagrams
• Cabling diagrams
• Timing diagrams
• Parallel telemetry/alarm wiring diagrams
• Commissioning/provisioning sheets
• Test data sheets
• Equipment lists
• EDP survey sheets
We also provide our customers and resources with an ADC Installation Package This is a site-specific detailed set of instructions for installing
a HABN network that includes:
• Material lists
• Cable running diagrams
• Rack and shelf configurations
• External cabling configurations
• Site-specific EDP information
Trang 6Using ADC expertise, our customers are:
• Saving 20% or more on their supply-chain
management costs

MATERIAL SERVICE
Our material services capability is one of the many reasons why companies
choose ADC as their systems integration partner.
• Network overview diagrams, which include the various diagrams showing both physical and logical overviews of the ring
• Site floor plans that show the location of equipment for each site on the ring
• Equipment elevation diagrams of equipment positioning within the cabinet for
each site on the ring
• Detailed shelf diagrams showing card layout assignments in each chassis for all sites on the ring
• Equipment connectivity diagrams that illustrate intershelf connectivity, and tributary, management and power connections
• Commissioning and telemetry data and channel assignments, detailing the data used
to configure each shelf on the ring
• An equipment list of all equipment associated with each site on the ring
• A fiber-ring diagram illustrating fiber-ring design including fiber-circuit IDs, patch panel and port assignments, and their OTS-In and OTS-Out association
• Baseline fiber characterization/equipment power-level information that shows the data from the fiber characterization and
initial equipment power levels
• Commissioning and integration test documentation of soak test, protection switching, channel test results, etc
• Testing procedures to perform channel tests, protection switching, etc
The final document in the engineering phase is ADC's Ring Design Package (RDP), which contains all the engineering information about the ring Used for maintenance and troubleshooting, the RDP includes:

In addition to simply mounting OEM and ADC
-furnished material in a cabinet or rack, we perform
the following for HABN deployments:
• Complete OEM equipment inventory matched
to the approved OEM bill of materials Any
discrepancies are discovered early in the job
cycle and corrected before impacting
your due dates
• Full pre-assembly of the HABN nodes, including
all intrabay cabling and cable testing
• Full burn-in and testing of OEM equipment
Faulty equipment is identified early in the job
cycle and corrected before impacting your
due dates
• Site-specific inventories including card-level
serial numbers This is used to prepopulate
OEM maintenance database records so OEM
maintenance contracts and depot-sparing levels
are in place at ring turn up
• Verification of OEM software and firmware version
• Precommissioning of the nodes
Site-specific data is loaded into the OEM and net-work monitoring equipment The data include IP addresses, alarm telemetry information, card
specif-ic data, and other parameters This reduces the amount of on-site time to turn up a node In some cases, the actual ring may be turned up and tested
in our staging center
Once complete, the cabinet or rack is crated and shipped with any additional materials to the node site The cabinet/rack is ready to be bolted into place, cabled up, powered on, and ready for final commissioning and integration
RACK AND STACK (R/S) /
PRECONFIGURATION SERVICES
ADC provides a level of service beyond the normal rack and stack functions.
