Equipment Strategies Marla Meehl
WDM versus Ethernet Switches • Considerations • Distance • Fiber type/capabilities • Speed required • Number of lambdas required • Cost • Growth • Flexibility/Expansion • Expertise • Maintenance
Current Equipment • 6509/6503 • SX, LX, and CWDM GBIC interfaces • Movaz CWDM • RayExpress • Currently running 2.5 Gbps CWDM lambdas • Purchased with 10Gbps upgrade in mind
Planned Equipment • 6509 • 10Gbps XENPAK for NLR connectivity initially • Movaz DWDM for FiberCo BRIN connectivity • RayExpress • RayExtender (AMP) • Running 2.5 Gbps DWDM lambdas
