Summary form only given. A transcontinental network of hundreds of nodes is shown to be more cost-effective when built of two tiers: a backbone all-optical network (AON) tier of tens of nodes, and a collector tier of extended-coverage metro/regional AONs. This solution also results in large operational savings and increased speed and simplicity of provisioning.
