10GE LANPHY testing #1

●10GE LANPHY is a new type of the interface card for Nortel OME platform, the general availability is in the first quarter of 2007. The card will provide:

● VCAT capacity, can be sub-rated down to STS3c● 2 x 10GbE LANPHY ports

●The early deployment card is now available. CANARIE will purchase three cards for testing. Nortel will replace them once the general availability of the card is released.●It will support only

● one GE LANPHY port and ● sub-rated down to STS3c-32V (5G).

10GbE LANPHY testing #2

●VCAT support give us the ability to utilize the SONET circuit efficiently.●For examples

● McGill Ultra video conferencing – require only 5G but take up a whole 10G circuit

● TRIUMF would have a 5G LP to CERN, multiple 1G to tier 2 site

Eastern ROADM project

> Eastern ROADM – in partnership with ORANO– Chicago – Windsor/Detroit – Toronto – Ottawa – Montréal –

Albany – Boston – NYC– 20 year IRU from Level3 on Chicago to Detroit and Toronto to

NYC fibre pair– 14 year IRU from TELUS on Detroit to Toronto fibre pair– 34 equipment sites– Nortel CPL (Common Photonic Layer), 50GHz spacing, C-band,

qty72 10G channel capacity

Western ROADM project

> Western ROADM – in partnership with BCNET and NETERA– Seattle – Victoria – Vancouver – Kamloops – Kelowna – Calgary– 12 year IRU from Bell Canada on entire route– 20 equipment sites– Nortel CPL (Common Photonic Layer), 50GHz spacing, C-band,

qty72 10G channel capacity

Why are we doing this?

> LightPath allocations highest on following segments– Vancouver-Calgary– Chicago – Toronto, Toronto – Ottawa, Ottawa – Montréal– Toronto – NYC

> Low cost ROADM technology– low marginal cost of adding wavelengths– low OPEX relative to other DWDM technologies

> Great opportunity to lay longer term CAnet foundation– Eastern: expiry of Level(3) Fiber Co. deak in March 2006– Western: Bell willing to closely match Fiber Co. pricing

> Wavelength insertion/extraction right at the campus

Eastern: Approx. Fibre Path

Eastern: Layer 1 Topology

Eastern: Co-management

> ORANO would own 25% of network capacity (18 λ) between Windsor and Ottawa

> Co-management will be phased-in to reduce complexity and minimize risk; CANARIE to manage on Day1
