Solving issues with GPS timing using optical networks
By Per Lindgren, Net Insight -- While many critical everyday services are dependent on GPS timing, it is very easy to jam the reception of the Universal Time Code (UTC) signal via the GPS. An alternative delivers UTC in a large public optical network -- but it's not economically feasible to build dedicated synchronization networks. Therefore, it is critical that such an approach can also be used to transport data, voice, and video traffic.
PON opens the bandwidth door to the home
By Armin Schulz, AMCC -- A look at the challenges to increased content delivery and the evolving role of PON, MoCA, and other technologies.
Charles Pointe, West Virginia: An FTTP case study
By Tim Doiron, Tellabs -- One size rarely fits all in the network equipment business, and Charles Pointe's business plan--including a plan to deliver triple play from the beginning--produced several high-priority requirements for its suppliers.
Enabling CDP: The new dimension in remote storage management
By Todd Bundy, ADVA Optical Networking -- While government regulations and competitive pressures have made implementing continuous data protection and other storage services a business imperative, innovations in WDM and optical networking have made it cost effective.
Enabling more cost-effective IPTV in Ethernet networks
By Ed Ellebracht, Ample Communications -- In order to maintain perceived quality consistent with that of standard-definition TV, IPTV must be designed so that frames are not dropped.
The changing role of SONET/SDH multiservice networks
By Vinay Rathore, Ciena -- OTN is a global standard that looks, feels, and acts just like SONET/SDH, which prompts several questions: Is OTN a replacement for SONET/SDH? Do I need to throw out my old gear and upgrade to OTN? And how much longer will SONET/SDH exist?
New approaches to FTTP
By David Cleary, Calix -- As the number of FTTP deployments grows, there is greater focus on reducing the risk and cost of the technology. A number of notable advancements are allowing operators to cost-effectively "future-enable" their FTTP networks.
Creating a cost-effective plug-and-play FTTP architecture
By Randy Reagan, ADC -- The plug-and-play approach to an FTTx infrastructure--made possible by factory-connectorized MSTs and drop cables terminated with hardened connectors and adapters--results in significant cost savings compared with traditional spliced architectures.
100-Gigabit Ethernet and super-Lambda services: The next frontier for Carrier Ethernet
By Drew Perkins and Rick Dodd, Infinera -- Carriers and cable multiple-system operators are widely deploying 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE) to interconnect IP routers and carrier-class Ethernet switches. The proliferation of 10-GbE services necessitates the next factor of 10: 100 GbE.
EATEL brings triple play to 'Cajun country'
By Heather Hewitt, EATEL, and Sayeed Rashid, Alcatel -- Real estate advertisements in Ascension Parish reportedly now read, "Three bedrooms, two baths, wood floors, and fiber-to-the-home."
