NCNI Consortium Deploys Cisco ONS 15454

The North Carolina Networking Initiative (NCNI), a consortium of North Carolina research-intensive universities is deploying the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) in its network to support advanced research activities. NCNI operates an extended 200-km-ring metro-environment backbone architecture that connects Duke University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP integrates DWDM and provides multi-rate transponders and muxponders for TDM, data, storage, and video wavelength services; flexible optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs); and advanced amplifiers for transmission from tens to hundreds of kilometers.
