Keck Meeting - UW10 January 2002 NEPTUNE Technology Backbone system with branch units / hierarchy of Junction Boxes Power Parallel architecture - network, multiple shore landings, sea water return Order kW at each node, kW total New development Communications Fiber-optic Gbit/s Internet using COTS Bi-directional - data, commands, timing. Each sensor addressable - IP Backbone system with branch units / hierarchy of Junction Boxes Power Parallel architecture - network, multiple shore landings, sea water return Order kW at each node, kW total New development Communications Fiber-optic Gbit/s Internet using COTS Bi-directional - data, commands, timing. Each sensor addressable - IP Technology Status Power large task, no specific problems yet Communications 1-10 GbE, but still checking WDM, reliability of lasers Command and Control (C 2 ) - work beginning DMA Severin Gaudet et al establishing firm foundation instrument server, metadata, Maripro/Alcatel part of team now Peter Phibbs Canadian telecom experience Need reviews!
