far, but they expect a significant OpEx<br />
reduction. The DWDM network provides<br />
substantially higher bandwidth with fewer<br />
network elements and should be less<br />
expensive to operate, particularly when<br />
costs are calculated on a per-bit basis.<br />
According to data from other Tellabs<br />
customers, a Tellabs 7100 OTS-based<br />
DWDM solution can deliver 4 times the<br />
bandwidth at 50% to 75% of the cost of<br />
legacy systems. Network elements and<br />
CapEx can be reduced by up to 65%, and<br />
OpEx can be reduced as much as 85%.<br />

Strategy and Support<br />
To help persuade TIME, Tellabs shared its<br />
experiences with Verizon, which uses a<br />
