AJC (2)

Design Capacity of AJC
At least 32 x 10Gbit/s on each of 2 fibre pair = 320G+320G which can be configured as:

• 320G Protected
• or 640G Non Preemptible Unprotected
• or 320G Protected + 320G Preemptible Unprotected

Initially Equipped Capacity of AJC

• 40G+40G capable of mix of Protected plus Non Preemptible Unprotected plus Preemptible Unprotected.

National and International Liasion:

• Australian Critical Infrastructure - includes AJC, Reach, SCCN
• Australian Protection Zones - proposed for AJC, SCCN, SMW3
• International Standards - eg ITU-T for interoperability
• Marine Maintenance - eg South Pacific ship shared by AJC, SCCN, Reach, Telecom NZ, others
• International Consultative Fora - eg International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC) and SubOptic (Vendors,Operators, Carriers tri-yearly forum – May07)

Consideration (2006E):

• Protected SDH (G.707, G.841)?
• Unprotected SDH (G.707, G.841)?
• STM-N Interfaces: STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, STM-64?
• GbE, 10GbE?
• Optical Transport Network (G.709)
• Direct Wavelength Access?
• Latency: Audio/Video downloads, P2P?
• Capacity Forecasts?
• Connectivity?
