“The backbone has been bullet-proof, as I expected it would be, and that is due in
no small part to the help from Cisco directly and the leading value-added reseller,

Leasing fiber has proven to be extremely affordable for the Institution, which estimates
annual savings on circuit charges at approximately US$100,000 per year. Instead
of leasing fixed circuits, flexible add/drop modules allow individual fiber channels
to be dropped and inserted along a route as needed. And an open-architecture
system allows a variety of devices to be connected, such as IP routers and optical
switches. As Beckman says, “It’s the backbone that makes the magic happen. Once
you have optical fiber, you’re only limited by your imagination.”
