CzechLight testbed Lada Altmanová Jan Radil Stanislav Šíma Josef Vojtěch GN2 APM meeting, Prague February 24th, 2005
Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF) • Environment for co-operation: networking, infrastructure, network engineering, system integration, middleware, applications • GLIF was established by invited participants at the 3rd Global Lambda Grid Workshop, held August 27, 2003 in Reykjavik, Island, www.glif.is • Dark fibres are often used for Gigabit or 10 Gigabit access to cities and university premises CzechLight Testbed
GLIF – World Map December 2004 CzechLight Testbed
CzechLight connections (to GLIF, to GN2 testbed and to cz premises) CzechLight Testbed
CzechLight intercity connections • Prague – Amsterdam lambda (GLIF facility), first mile in Prague on dark fibre, OC-192c transmission, grey 1550nm • Prague – Brno, dark fibre, 298.3 km, 66,5 dB, including 257.3 km of G.655 fibre, DWDM OC-192c transmission, NIL test • Prague – Plzen, dark fibre, 159.4 km, 36.7 dB, GE transmission by PCLight EDFA 2in1 CzechLight Testbed
CzechLight connections in/near Prague • Connections of Particle physics workplaces - Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of theCzech republic, dark fibre, GE transmission - Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University, dark fibre, GE transmission - Nuclear Physics Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Řež, dark fibre, GE transmission - Faculty of Nuclear and Physical Engineering of Czech Technical University, lambda on PASNET dark fibres by CWDM, GE transmission CzechLight Testbed

CzechLight configuration • Core node in Prague CISCO 15454 with 10 G DWDM SONET, 4xGE CISCO C3550 – 12G CISCO C6503 with 10 GE and GE • Core node in Brno CISCO 15454 with 10 G DWDM SONET, 4xGE CzechLight Testbed
PC Light • Design Kit for wide area fibre networks, based on racked PCs with build-in optical amplifier modules • Multi-vendor (multi-source) building elements • Preliminary comparison of OA (EDFA) costs: • OA from „ISP vendor“: 40 000 USD • OA from „optical vendor“: 18 000 USD • OA from „module vendor“: 2 500 USD (two OA in module) • OA from Integrated Circuit vendor: 2000 USD/pc • OA + DCF costs are the biggest item in long distance transmission systems costs (e.g. 60%) => PC Light helps to radically change WAN/MAN costs CzechLight Testbed
EDFA 2in1 v2.0: PC Light equipment example • PC with build-in OA EDFA booster and preamp • Successfully used for NIL GE connection from Plzen to CzechLight in Prague by dark fibre pair (159.4 km, 36.7 dB) since May 2004 • One Side Amplification (OSA NIL approach): this equipment is placed in Prague only. No OA equipment is placed in Plzen, so we expect lower service costs and higher availability (we have 24/7 staff in Prague only) • Advantages: low cost, small size (1U), redundant PSU, low power consumption, Linux, SNMP, reach up to 225 km, extensive management possibilities (Ethernet, GSM modem, BlueTooth, RS-232,…) CzechLight Testbed

PC Light forthcoming • EDFA 2in1 tested in lab and production environments • PCLight Raman (fibre or diode) • SOA amplifiers • 1310 nm and 1550 nm • Even true broadband (100 nm) amplifiers for MAN CzechLight Testbed
Lighting of dark fibre: NIL update • Production lines G.652, 1550 nm, EDFA • 189 km Praha – Pardubice GE since May 2002 • 235 km Brno – Ostrava GE since June 2003 • Experimental lines G.652, 1550 nm, EDFA • 235 km Brno – Ostrava OC-48 June 2003 • 286 km Praha – Brno GE May 2004 (+Raman) • More wavelengths possible CzechLight Testbed
NIL tests in laboratory • G.652 fibre spools, EDFA + Raman: • 325 km GE • 250 km OC-48 • 252 km 2x 10 GE • 302 km 10 G DWDM • G.652 + G.655 fibre spools, EDFA + Raman • 302 km 10 G DWDM CzechLight Testbed
