Quick note for Keith from the field...
Keith:
Am currently working with a small ISP in northwest Alaska where we are
undergoing a rather embarrassing transition from a 128CIR frame relay feed
out of Anchorage to a 256CIR feed, a jumpt to a 448CIR feed and ultimately
a re-engineered circuit from Nome, Alaska, to Seattle, Washington, running
at 512KBps CIR / 1.024 MBps burst.
Project engineers for this circuit upgrade may be contacted via the
following personnel at ATT Alascom:
Duane Moran -- [email protected]
Maryann Flowers -- [email protected]
Duane is your technical contact. Maryann is your commercial contact.
Most likely, you'll come in contact with Duane first.
Please, at my urging, contact the project manager (Duane.) He'll be able
to put you in touch with research personnel in both Anchorage and Seattle
who have more information regarding this project. I will be working with
Duane and with an engineering department contact at ATT to discuss a
solution for dispersion of this network feed within the Seward Peninsula
and Bering Strait Region. We (the ISP -- nome.net) will be acting as an
interface for the dispersal points according to the model currently under
discussion, and the solution is likely to take advantage of Demand
Assigned Multiple Access systems currently in the end-research phase at
ATT (although a similar system is also in end-research phase at General
Communications Incorporated, aka GCI -- an Anchorage-based IXC for
Alaska.)
Yours (and collaborative partners') succinct summary of the state of
multi-megabit data transfers over satellite frame would be most
appreciated (especially if presented in binary form, i.e. yes or no.)
Thanks a bunch.
