The migration of communication systems towards networks improves connectivity and provides users increased services. There is a growing need to connect more services to the network thereby requiring a wideband backbone infrastructure. Wideband data links, such as CDL, provide the necessary bandwidth to establish an air-to-air network backbone capable of supporting anticipated network traffic loads. This paper will address the migration path for developing the wideband backbone infrastructure.
