New Network Design

• New Transport
• 516 route miles of dark fiber
• 4 new PoPs (plus 32 AofA) and 8 new line
  amplifier sites
• New Equipment
• Cisco routers (7609/Sup720 upstate, 12410 in NYC)
• Cisco DWDM (15454 with ROADM)
• Gigabit Ethernet as the primary transport
• New Capabilities
• Backbone bandwidth increase (OC-12 to multiple
  GigE)
• Partial mesh to reduce the impact of a single
  failure
• Optical transport between any of the PoPs, 32
  lambdas at up to 10 Gbps

New Connection Options

• Lambda connections
• Switch or Router through a transponder
• Switch or Router with DWDM pluggable optics
• Metro CWDM or DWDM through a transponder
• Metro WDM with pluggable optics (someday!)
• SAN switch through a transponder

• RE IP connections
• GigE over bare fiber
• Colocated switch or router
• Metro CWDM or DWDM
• CLEC lit services (Ethernet or SONET)
• Combined RE and commercial over a single
  Ethernet local loop
