Deployment strategies
Date: 2015-10-07; view: 448.
There are three main strategies for the deployment of SDH equipment:
1. Synchronous islands.
2. 'Thin' overlay networks.
3. Ad hoc deployment dictated by traffic growth, etc.
Many PTOs are currently using the ad hoc approach and deploying the latest STM-16 (2.5 Gbit/s) transmission systems, not so much because they conform to the SDH standards, but because they offer higher transmission capacities than any available PDH systems. Even so, most PTOs which are doing this, are intending to eventually fill in the gaps between these ad hoc deployments so as to create an SDH overlay network.
The idea behind the 'thin overlay' strategy is to rapidly deploy a limited SDH capability across the whole of a PTO network so that a small nucleus of key business customers can be offered the benefits of SDH as soon as possible. This type of deployment is most appropriate to networks where the important communities of interest are geographically widely dispersed.
The synchronous 'island' deployment strategy assumes that the most important communities of interest are geographically concentrated, and that each one can start to benefit from SDH without necessarily having full SDH connectivity with similar communities of interest. The classic example here is that of the financial community in the City of London. With the passage of time, a synchronous island would normally increase in geographical size, so as to eventually coalesce with other islands. Long before this, they would probably be interconnected by an emerging SDH trunk network.
