I was thinking some kind of MetroE solution where I'd have 100G\400G at the core and drop 1G\10G off at each site.
I've seen the 10x10 stuff and it usually seems like a PtP product. I suppose if it does let me add\drop 10G channels, I could just passive WDM it and aggregate at fewer places. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trey Scarborough" <t...@3dsc.co> To: af@af.afmug.com Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2022 4:15:51 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Mobile Backhaul If your looking for a L1 DWDM to drop at the site then ekinops has a 10x10 100G that can drop individual 10Gs at a site. I haven't seen any deployments for mobile carriers, but I have been told they have. Most I have done to this point has been 100G rings using MPLS/EVPN. Hardware is typically using Juniper ACX 710, Nokia 7250 IXR-E, or Cisco NCS 540. These are using 40 or 80K bidi optics, but in some instances PAM4 and hopefully soon single channel dwdm modules that don't require outside amplification. I have not found any that you can really use a true passive system yet, but hopefully will be testing some soon. I have deployed a couple using 1310/1550 splitters and ran DWDM on top of a 1310 100G channel using 40/80K sfp28s.

We've poked around at a few vendors and it seems like it's common to have products on either side of what I'm looking for. It appears common to offer: 1) Just a basic 10x 10G -> 1x 100G muxponder. It seems silly to have a rack full of muxponders at the CO. 2) Complicated any color to any color ROADM and 25g -> 400G aggregation DWDM systems that don't go down to the speeds the mobile operator would want. It doesn't seem like people have something that offers 1x or 2x 10G with 2x 100G for east\west routing in a hardened, small form factor. Awesome if those 100G were tunable, so I could plumb them into a passive wave system. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
