Article on Metro DWDM access rings Traditional Vendors Re-calibrate Optical Metro Network Strategies 9/30/99 Excerpt: "To prove in a next-generation metro optical transport architecture, new transport systems must enable an order of magnitude reduction in cost per bit transported, McFadden says. This is in line with what Nortel estimates to be a 99% reduction in the cost to transport a bit coast-to-coast over a long-haul network over the last five years or so. Metro transport cost has only gone down 50% in that time, he says." Message 11413901 Which MetroFusion does: From the NAC website: "Other DWDM systems have been designed for business-to-business or point-to-point communications where not all nodes belong to the same network. As a result, the cost of such systems scale as the square of the number of nodes, whereas the MetroFusion system costs scale linearly with the number of nodes." new-access.com
