3. 3 CEF Networks Workshop 2009 CESNET l CESNET2 network l Dark fibre experimental facility (EF) l 5 112 km leased fibres (high coverage on 78 864 km2 ) –Including 995 km of single fibre lines –Including Experimental facility 535 km of dark fibre

4. 4 CEF Networks Workshop 2009 Motivation for lit fibre service l Full fibre capacity can be dedicated for NREN! (no return to traditional telco services) l NREN can share leased dark fibre with other organizations (legal bodies) l Lighting is outsourced (Some NRENs has no staff experienced in optics and electronics) l Buying of service instead of investment into equipment (OPEX instead of CAPEX) l Costs of adding lambdas (or other extensions) should be part of contract l Provider will obtain experience with new type of service and can offer this new type of service to other customers l Deployment of new photonics devices – technology transfer to telco providers

5. 5 CEF Networks Workshop 2009 Used procedure – what we learned l Detailed description of procuring of lit fibres is on http://www.ces.net/events/cef2007/p/altmannova.ppt http://www.ces.net/events/cef2007/p/altmannova.ppt l Project of lighting can be prepared by NREN staff or by independent company l Contract with one provider per whole line l Detailed description of acceptance agreement (part of handover report) -Description of the line (address, contact persons, length, attenuation…) -Channel plan -Block diagram of the line (equipment, points of power measurement) -Tables and charts of measurement -Setting of equipment -Result and conclusion

6. 6 CEF Networks Workshop 2009 Ways of lit fibres service acquiring l Upgrade of leased dark fibre lines (the most applied solution) – extensive experience l Tender for lit fibre l HW order and deployment by own staff (verification of new methods)

7. 7 CEF Networks Workshop 2009 Previous situation in 2007

8. 8 CEF Networks Workshop 2009 Steps of history l First CL (CzechLight) deployment in the year 2004, specifically CLA PB01 (CzechLight Amplifier 2in1, Booster and Preamplifier) was on Praha – Plzeň line with length of 159km in CzechLight EF and on Praha – Hradec Králové, length of 150km in CESNET2 network. l Since March 2005 CLA DI01 (CzechLight Amplifier DualInline)has been successfully working on CzechLight EF line Praha-Brno, 284km, as one and only inline amplifier. l At the beginning of 2006 CLA PB01 was equipped on the first Cross Border Fibre (CBF) line Brno – Bratislava, 182km. In the middle of 2006 CBF Brno – Vienna, 224km was deployed by a new prototype CLA PB02.

9. 9 CEF Networks Workshop 2009 New optical transmission DWDM systems, based on own open photonic devices called the CzechLight (CL) family Main types without gain flattening for up to 8 channels: l CLA PB01 Low noise preamplifier and booster amplifier with output power up to 20dBm and optional ALS (Automatic Laser Shutdown) l CLA PB02 Low noise preamplifier and high-power booster amplifier with output power up to 27dBm and built-in ALS l CLA DI01 Dual in-line amplifier with output powers up to 15dBm Main types with gain flattening for up to 32 channels: l CLA PB01F Gain flattened low noise preamplifier and booster amplifier with output power up to 20dBm and optional ALS l CLA PB02F Gain flattened low noise preamplifier and high-power booster amplifier with output power up to 27dBm and built-in ALS l CLA DI01F Gain flattened dual in-line amplifier with output powers up to 15 dBm
