Over the past year the Manitoba Telephone System, working with both Catel in California and Cabletel in Toronto has developed a unique optical architecture. In comparison to conventional fibre architectures, this structure has reduced the cost and complexity while increasing the reliability and capacity without sacrificing technical performance. This multinode, multichannel, bi‐directional, single wavelength video conference structure is in use between hospitals in the province of Manitoba. Details of this configuration along with its performance are discussed.
