Interestingly, telcos that deploy SDH mux equipment to customer sites tend to install them with a full 48V DC plant, including rectifiers and often inverters. Perhaps the MetroE guys need to take a look at how the telcos have done it in the past, if they are wanting to meet that 'five nines' of telco-land?

Yep - I can hear it now... "We're cheaper than the Telcos though." And thats true, but I think the MetroE guys need to be offering a wider range of SLAs. People are coming to rely on them more and more and it's not always made clear to the customers what the risks of a particular technology is. Dean
