Any tech's out there? PSI (a major ASND ISP symbol PSIX) signs an agreement with a CAP for 10,000 miles of OC-48 network....the largest OC-48 network I've heard about. I'm guessing about 250 SONET node locations. In order to utilize this significant bandwidth, is it likely that CSCC will provide the backbone switches into the SONET muxes or would PSI interface the muxes to ASND (GRF,TNT) directly? I'm only aware of a CSCC DS-3 connection for their frame switch. Is an OC-3/OC-12/OC-48 interface in production? In either case, this seems like a very positive development for the ASND/CSCC combination. I can't believe nobody has picked up on the news. Can anyone speculate on the number of units from ASND/CSCC are required to support a network of this size. Would a CSCC switch exist at each add/drop location?
