68.0. "Extended FDDI Solution Needed" by USRCV1::ADAIRC (Claude Adair 252-7087 @RCO) Wed May 23 1990 15:06

    Needed: DIGITAL Supported Solution
    
    3 sites, 1 serving as the hub, are located 4+ miles apart from
    eachother. Assuming the installation of fiber, single and multimode,
    between these sites, what can we do with products available today to
    build a FDDI backbone connecting these sites?
    
    Feedback on non-DEC products anyone has had experience with in similar
    scenarios would be most welcome.

68.1FDDI node interconnection over a single mode fiber BLGVS3::STRATOSThu May 24 1990 12:1415
This is a challenge we have successfully met for an important customer here in
Italy. Actually it was presented to us in a much "heavier form" - LAN intercon-
nection with interLAN distances in excess of 40 KMs - and we involved a third-
party.

I do not think third-parties should be receiving free ads over EASYNET, so I 
would appreciate if you could send me some mail (BLG01::STRATOS) with some more
details.

But the underlying technology - FDDI over single mode fiber - is available for
quite some time. This was good news for us in Italy,
