Being a R&D Company People is a key factor for success The team has a long history with a strong international experience Telettra → Alcatel → Alcatel-Lucent → smOptics We are investing to reinforce the Optics Lab, that will be the core of our innovation

• 1994 - The birth of the first platform for the multiservice optical transmission

• 1998 - Transmission evolving towards packet transport for data services

• 2002 – First multi-service provisioning platform (MSPP) platform with packet switching and its evolution

2004 2010 2012 2013 Leading innovation First 1024QAM in First electric to RF Leading innovation with Adaptive full outdoor system in package only ODU <12W Modulation systems SIP @ 80GHz

2012 2002 2004 2008 First 1,2Terabit switch matrix First MSPP with First soft-controlled First Universal (MPLS / TDM) packet switching network (GMPLS) packet/circuit switch chipset 2014 100G packet card

About myself:

My Professional career started in 1985 and has

been mainly developed in the field of Signal Telettra/RAI processing. HDTV codec

Since 2000 I’m working in the field of

telecommunication. Best Product

My career in Photonics is starting now…

Being a R&D Company People is the key factor for success The team comes from a long history. Telettra → Alcatel → Alcatel-Lucent → smOptics We are investing to reinforce an Optics Lab., that will be the core of our innovation Importance to build motivated team

There are many opportunity for talent to have success abroad… but why not to stay in Italy and change things?

Resell Agreement NEW PRODUCT Product OMSN and PTN portfolio for 5G backhauling; broadband; specifically identified markets New IP - SDN centric

• Network can be abstracted (and operations simplified). • Applications are key points: for example planning tool can be an application working on a ‘view’ of the real network. • Applications can be as well downloaded ‘on demand’ to the network.

20 The Company Sm Optics

• We believe in the possible revival of Optical compartment in Italy • We work to build new solutions for Optical Telecommunication • We hope to impact on Italian telecom market addressing the UBB opportunity • We believe in the cooperation with University and Research Institution as fundamental step to innovate and create value for the Country • We are investing in young people
