8. 1696 MS applications: Mobile backhauling
A draft assessment, based on traffic forecasts over next five years, indicate that the majority of regional rings could be designed with SDH nodes of STM-16 line capacity (ADM-16), whereas a few regional rings would require SDH nodes of STM-64 line capacity (ADM-64). The national ring should combine DWDM technology with one or two SDH rings composed of ADM-64 nodes. The physical layer provided by local operators would be optical fibre for all rings of largest capacity, and 2.5Gbps wavelengths (STM-16) in all other rings. The topology of new regional rings would derive from CTN, with necessary changes to cope with the exact topology of the new physical layer.

47. 1696 MS: Analog Performance Monitoring
Automatic and continuous monitoring of basic optical parameters is a key to make preventive maintenance effective for WDM networks, since laser and fiber degradation are actually long-term phenomena which can be detected and addressed well in advance with respect to impacts on the carried traffic
1696 MS supports analog PMs via the 1353 NM

48. 1696 MS: Analog Performance Monitoring
Power level monitoring started from NE USM (action at Board level): for input/output power levels on transponders (Rx, Tx, client & line sides), mux/demux, amplifiers …
1353NM is in charge to sample and store input/output power values in the PM DataBase
PM Data Storage: a dedicated repository for analog
monitoring, containing NEs and Monitoring Points to be
selected for Report generation (Table/Chart)
PM Data Storage Query set supported
15min & 24hr sampling periods
Export to OSS through 1359IOO supported

49. 1696 MS: Analog Performance Monitoring
NE USM functions
List of Boards under Power Monitoring, Measurement status on 15min and 24hr
