AppendixV-Upgradabilityconsiderations Abstract
Provides parameters and values for optical interfaces of single-channel long-haul STM-4, STM-16 and STM-64 systems utilizing optical preamplifiers and/or optical booster amplifiers. It provides optical interface parameters for single-channel STM-64 intra-office and short-haul systems without optical amplification.
