Where can I can information (PID or otherwise) regarding single-mode
fiber? What is our position on this issue as regards to it being
non-standard (yet). There is a local customer who have sites that are
separated by distances of 20-50 km. Part of the backbone is already
laid with Sumitomo fibers. I need this information badly to make sure
this customer choose DEC as the backbone provider. They will run at
least 200 workstations (they now have 10 HPs, we hope to sell our
DECstation 5000s) and lots of serverss distrubuted over 5 or 6
locations.
Long term solution is fine, as their procurement cycle will be in
calendar year 1991/92. But we must have something or some direction for
them now.
Please help, Thanx!

BTW, this is a military customer. Some of their sites are mobile, and
want to know if it's possible to have FDDI speeds to their mobile site.
They are willing to stop and setup the comms link whenever they move to
a new location. Do we have a solution? Even a 10Mbps solution will be
worthwhile. Microwave is probably not feasible as there will not likely
to be line-of-sight linkage. Have we done anything similar or other
Militaries?

ps: and thanx again.
Send mail to ZPOVC::HWCHOY or Heng-Wah Choy @ ZPO if it is not
convenient to discuss in the conference.

I have replied via mail to the author of the base note. Digital is
"actively pursuing" a SMF solution. Since this is a future product, it
isn't appropriate to discuss it in a public forum such as notes. If
you'd like more information, contact the Area Network Consultant for
your area.
