Just some pics of the gear for the network crowd.

Sexy. How many wavelengths do you get out of those?

I know Ciena can do like 196.

40 wavelengths, I believe same as Ciena isnt it?

40 wavelengths, I believe same as Ciena isnt it?

But with only one wavelength in use?

I've no idea what that Cyan kit actually does, but it looks significantly underutilized in those photos.

Not liking the bend radius and no signs of stress relief there.

tsk, tsk.

The Cyan gear was racked and stacked, literally, last week. They are still in very much in testing. In fact of the 3 chassis's pictured 2 wont even be deployed in this market. The fiber is a bend insensitive fiber. You can literally bend it around you finger and see a bit less than 1 db of light loss. Its cool shit.

We'll turn up a few gig-e links and put test sets on them then put them through their paces and do a burn in. Its a bit of a compressed timeline which I dont entirely like but you know how it is I'm sure.

We got this under control. 😉

Its one of Cyans middle of the road pieces. Its still has a ridiculous amount of capacity for our needs though but allows room for expansion. Its going to be a while before we fill an 80 gig circuit.

I wont pretend to be the DWDM expert though, this is still a new technology for me.

Oh, and CyMS (Cyans EMS) is the best EMS I've ever seen hands down. I mean its good.
