For those folks doing DWDM on fiber, whats your preferred equipment and why?
We currently use BTI equipment which works extremely well but it’s priced in the same ballpark as Ciena, Nortel, Cisco etc … quite expensive to deploy. Hoping to find something more economical but just as reliable? By reliable I mean that it’s deployed for years without having to do anything service impacting to it. For this particular deployment I’m thinking of, ROADM isn’t important neither. Prefer active solution vs passive. CWDM would even be ok at this point to consider … Basically looking at ways to cut down on 10G fibers between two physical locations (the fiber is leased) thanks, Paul
