"Global Crossing Ltd. (Hamilton, Bermuda), Softbank (Tokyo), and Microsoft (Redmond, WA) have established a joint venture called Asia Global Crossing that will construct a $1.3 billion, 17,700-km network of city rings, terrestrial systems, and undersea cables called East Asia Crossing. Global Crossing will operate the network, which will link Japan, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines. East Asia Crossing will be built in two phases, forming interconnected rings totaling 17,700 kilometers. Phase One, a length of 10,200 km, to be completed by year-end 2000, will link with Pacific Crossing 1 at a landing station in Japan and connect with Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Phase Two, a length of 7,500 km, to be completed by June 2001, will link Japan to two stations in China, one in South Korea, and one in Taiwan. East Asia Crossing will feature a state-of-the-art undersea cable with four fiber pairs, offering 80 Gb/s of initial capacity, upgradeable to 1.2 Tb/s through dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)." Anybody know who is providing the DWDM for this? Endless speculation on the Yahoo Ciena thread, but no confirmation. Thanks.
