Core network fiber maintenance

Core network fiber maintenance

20-04-2022 00:00:00 - 18-04-2022 13:45:00

Urgency: Planned
Affected services:
- Internet access
- Customer wavelengths between BIT-2 and Interxion Science Park
- Mobile internet access
Expected impact:
- Limit chance of disruption of internet traffic
- Disruption of wavelengths between BIT-2 and Interxion Science Park
- Disruption of mobile internet services
Customer intervention required: No
Reference number: 171921

Summary:

Additional wavelengths will be put into production on the fiber connecting BIT-2 and Interxion Science Park. This requires adjustments to the dark fiber. To increase capacity, DWDM equipment will be connected to the fiber between Interxion Science Park and Equinix AM7.


Details:

Additional wavelengths will be made operational between BIT-2A and Interxion Science Park. Due to the increase in channels we need to add attenuators to the fibers. As a result, the fiber connections will be disrupted several times in order to place the attenuators and perform analyses.

To increase capacity between Interxion Science Park and Equinix AM7, we will put DWDM equipment in production. As a result, the fiber connecting these locations will be disrupted a number of times. This reduces redundancy in our core network. Traffic will be automatically rerouted via other connections.

To minimize impact of the maintenance, internet traffic will be rerouted via other paths.

Unfortunately, we have to cancel the maintenance announced below, which was scheduled for the coming night. A new date will be announced in a new maintenance notification.
