Abstract :
Describes a study that considered an alternative approach to rural network planning and modernization utilizing a new `Distributed Fibre Centre´ architecture that takes advantage of the emerging SONET based transmission and switching technologies. Many new operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning (OAM&P) benefits can also occur as these new networks evolve. Together, the concepts suggested will create a network capable of supporting the changing and varied requirements of Bell Canada and its rural subscribers
