I'm in the process of researching DWDM equipment for a new ring I'm about to light. Only two dark fibers to start. My only experience with WDM is a ring lit with MRV CWDM equipment by another provider. The MRV equipment hasn't failed once in the years I've had the service. Good/bad/ugly thoughts on MRV? What I'm looking for is the ability to drop 10G and 1G channels on the same ring. Upgradability to 40G channels is a plus. I haven't been told I should plan for OC-n but it would nice if I had the option. Does anyone have a recommendation that might fit these requirements? Thanks
