Movaz Upgrades Replace serial filters with parallel filters on BLDR-DEN span Upgrade BLDR-LONG-FORT spans to dense WDM from coarse WDM Install new DWDM ring at FRGP
Filter Upgrade Serial filters have low loss per lambda, but adds up with each additional lambda. Parallel filter has higher loss, but you only need one Break-even point is at about 3 or 4 lambda's which is where we are today.
Coarse to Dense Upgrade BLDR-LONG-FORT currently has cheaper CWDM optics installed No amplification Can't handle 10GigE Upgrade brings this span closer to 10GigE ready
FRGP Ring FRGP DREAM ring connects 1200 Larimer, 1850 Pearl and 910 15th. Currently an etherchannel of two 1G Ethernets around each side of the ring Upgrade would use optical protection to split each Ethernet around both sides of the ring Fiber cuts would be (almost) invisible
