Hi Frank I was glad you were unaffected by the disaster.(Maybe the wrong choice of words as who could live there and be unaffected.) You are one of the most courteous people here and informative to boot. Here is another company that helped out with FSO links. Not sure whose they used but it was in conjunction with Qwest. syntelco.com Qwest had decided to use a Laser system with the aid of Syntelco to connect FEMA. "By late Friday, Syntelco's President, Chuck Woods, had coordinated the loan of Free-Space Optics (FSO) equipment from their customer, PSINet. Bruce Grammer, Syntelco CTO, assisted by Chuck Stratton completed the staging of related equipment and installation assets in Virginia, left Syntelco offices in Northern Virginia at 2:00 a.m. and arrived in NYC at 6:30 a.m. After receiving assistance from a FEMA representative in crossing security barricades surrounding the site, they were able to begin installation services at 10:00 a.m. Working in close coordination with Qwest management, account, operations and technical personnel, Syntelco established FSO transmission by 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Routing of the circuits within 60 Hudson Street was accomplished by 7:30 p.m. and the customer accepted service by 8:30 p.m. The link is capable of supporting up to OC3 bandwidth. In addition, fiber to copper transition equipment and M1:3 multiplex equipment were used to accommodate the services required by FEMA, which included two T1 lines. All in just a day's work at Syntelco."
