Abstract :
The MITRE Corporation designed and evaluated a highly portable fiber optic remoting system to support the requirements of the U.S. Communications Grid Network (US CGNET) program in Europe. This proof-of-concept system was developed to demonstrate the technical and operational feasibility of fiber optics as a replacement for the 26-pair cable assemblies originally selected for connectivity in the US CGNET program. Results of field testing indicate that this developmental fiber optic remoting system meets all US CGNET technical and operational requirements, and significant operational benefit could be derived from deployment of this type of remoting equipment.
