Optical Networking White Papers

Beyond Optics: Core Service Networks

Overview The infrastructure hasn't' kept pace. Some might believe this assertion flies in the face of optical network progress, and especially the progress in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM). While it is true that optical network progress has been rapid, it is also true that optical technology is predominantly confined to a part of the network that the subscriber experiences only indirectly-the core.
