Problem: Tri-State has a dispatch control center in Westminster, CO that communicates to more than 300 substation and power plant remote terminal units (RTUs). These locations communicate with the control center over a variety of transport networks including digital Microwave Radio, Multiservice SONET and leased digital services. As part of the U.S. Electric Grid reliability initiative, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) requires all electric utilities, which are transmission operators, to operate a backup control center (BCC) consistent with NERC standards EOP-008-0 (emergency operating procedure) and COM-001 (telecommunications).

Problem: National LambdaRail (NLR) is the network platform of choice enabling cutting-edge exploration and discovery in the biomedical, engineering, network research, physics and many other disciplines at over 180 leading research institutions and federal agencies. In support of these clients, NLR completed the first phase of a national dense wave division multiplex backbone (DWDM) in 2004. In 2009, NLR embarked upon a network upgrade to increase the value of their network with increased capacity, higher reliability and more flexibility.
