Undistracted, MCI continues ULH stretch

摘要

Amid the clamor Verizon and Qwest created in their pursuit of MCI, people like Jack Wimmer, vice president of network architecture and advanced technology of the suddenly popular carrier, have done their best to maintain a business-as-usual approach to improving MCI's network. This task includes the deployment of ultra-long-haul (ULH) DWDM technology, an initiative the carrier began early last year. Wimmer remains confident that when the dust settles after the acquisition, the new owners will keep the ULH program going because of the benefits the next generation network will provide.
