Pacific Bell, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and the University of California at Berkeley have established a joint fiber testbed located in the San Francisco Bay Area. The fiber to be used in the trial is representative of Pacific Bell`s current fiber plant. This ongoing project is a year long collaboration involving the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) of data and video on a link using erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA). Designated Project OART. for Optical Amplifier Reliability Trial, this project will provide the Network, Technology District of Pacific Bell a valuable testbed for gathering information and experience with future network designs that will use WDM, EDFs, and the simultaneous transmission of high-speed digital and video information. LLN`s interest in this link is driven by a need to evaluate various future means of interconnecting high performance users With high performance storage and computation sites over remote connections. The OART link will consist of a four channel WDM system on a pair of fibers over a link amplified by two pairs of EDFAs. Three wavelengths will be data communication channels transmitted between LLNL in Livermore and UCB in Berkeley at a distance of 98 km. A fourth channel of video will be carried from a Pacific Bell test facility in Concord on 73 km of fiber to a video lab at LLNL.
