  1. DWDM link Brussels - Luxembourg By Herman VANDERBORGHT

  2. Overview • Actual Fiber offer • Performances of the service • Organisation of the operations • Introduction of DWDM technology • Advantages

  3. Actual fiber offer • Strong points • simple solution • passive components • Threats • no redundancy • no active monitoring • long repair time

  4. How to tackle the threats? • Type of installation and periodic inspection • Performance standards • number of incidents • repair time • Organisation of maintenance

  5. Installation of fibre cables • Aerial cable fixed on the poles of the overhead liner • quick installation • visual inspection of external aspects • easy to detect cable cuts • quick repair

  6. Quality objectives • Probability of cable incidents: • Standard: 1 incident/year.150 km of installed cable • Performance of intervention: • 2 hours after call on place • 8 hours after call provisory repair for 36 fiber cable

  7. Organisation of interventions • Single point of contact: TEL 02/5259090 • alternative tel 02/2248400 • FAX 02/5259091 • email nmc@b-rail.be • 24h/24h served • regional support • escalation on 3 levels via nmc

  8. Organisation of interventions • Fiber-fix team available 24h/24h • 9 teams, located over the country • equipped with necessary tools • experienced and well brained staff

  9. Team equipment

  10. Results

  11. Results

  12. Why DWDM? • Redundant solution • Active monitoring of the system • degradation of the service detected before failures reach critical level • more easy reporting of quality of service • Quick establishment of new links
