Project Description: SONET Digital Cross-Connect Systems (DCSs) can play a key role in<br />
service providers’ broadband voice and data networks, supporting traffic grooming, traffic<br />
consolidation, test access, ring interconnection, and network survivability and flexibility for<br />
both transport and operations activities. While SONET is a relatively mature technology, there<br />
have been a number of changes and advancements since Issue 1 of <strong>GR</strong>-2996-CORE was<br />
published in January 1999. This update will reflect those changes and advancements, and will<br />
better align <strong>GR</strong>-2996-CORE with related and more recently updated documents such as<br />
<strong>GR</strong>-253-CORE, Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Transport Systems: Common<br />
<strong>Generic</strong> Criteria; <strong>GR</strong>-496-CORE, SONET Add-Drop Multiplexer (SONET ADM) <strong>Generic</strong><br />
Criteria; and <strong>GR</strong>-1244-CORE, Clocks for the Synchronized Network: Common <strong>Generic</strong><br />
Criteria. In addition, it will address issues raised by the participants in this work effort.<br />
The Value of Participation<br />
As a participating company in the development of <strong>GR</strong>-2996, Issue 2, you will have the<br />
opportunity to respond to and influence the proposed requirements and issues that are needed<br />
to bring the document up-to-date, and that will benefit the industry. You will also be able to<br />
network with your industry peers and gain a better understanding of each party’s needs and<br />
concerns.<br />
<strong>Telcordia</strong> Invites Your Participation<br />
To proceed with this project, it is expected that <strong>Telcordia</strong> will need at least four industry<br />
participants. While the project can proceed with fewer participants, deliverables may change<br />
as a result. The participating industry members will be apprised regularly of project status and<br />
any changes in deliverables.<br />
