I'm in the process of researching DWDM equipment for a new ring I'm
about to light. Only two dark fibers to start. My only experience with
WDM is a ring lit with MRV CWDM equipment by another provider. The MRV
equipment hasn't failed once in the years I've had the service.
Good/bad/ugly thoughts on MRV?
What I'm looking for is the ability to drop 10G and 1G channels on the
same ring. Upgradability to 40G channels is a plus. I haven't been
told I should plan for OC-n but it would nice if I had the option.
Does anyone have a recommendation that might fit these requirements?
Thanks
