Corporate Optical Backbone Networks Objectives and Concepts • COBNET's goal is to establish concepts and technologies for the next generation of Corporate Backbone Networks • COBNET is applying evolvingoptical multichannel technologies • wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) • optical space division multiplexing (SDM) • COBNET is pursueing the concept ofAdd/Drop Rings Concepts
The Customer Premises Network Backbone • builds on Optical SDM Add/Drop Rings for short CPN distances or inside buildings • and on WDM Add/Drop Rings for larger CPN distances or for private MANs Add/Drop Rings
The SDM Ring • combines 12 space channels on a SM fibre ribbon • operates at 1300 nm Add/Drop Rings
The WDM Ring • combines 12 wavelengths on one SM fibre • operates around 1550 nm • with 1.6 nm channel spacing Add/Drop Rings
Norwich Ipswich Cambridge London The Trial Network • A field trial in East England verifies concepts and technologies. • CPN backbones are established at two partner sites. BT Labs GEC Marconi Labs Trial Network

Norwich Ipswich Cambridge BT Labs GEC Marconi Labs London The Trial Network • allowing clear-channel WDM connectivity across 180 km Trial Network
Norwich Ipswich Cambridge BT Labs GEC Marconi Labs London The Trial Network A closer look at the nodes Trial Network
The Trial Nodes • Wavelength or space channels are added/dropped in simple, low-cost Optical Add/Drop Nodes • all other channels are bypassed optically Nodes
The Trial Nodes • Wavelength and/or space channelsare interchanged in a hybrid WDM/SDM Cross-Connect Node Nodes
The Trial Nodes • Alternatively, channels may beswitched to the WDM WAN via aPublic Network Interface Unit Nodes
