The Business Case for ROADM Technology
Overview This paper provides an ROI analysis demonstrating that a Fixed OADM solution could be less expensive than a Reconfigurable OADM (ROADM) on day one. However, in many cases over several years the Fixed OADM is more expensive then the ROADM. The higher cost associated with the Fixed OADM is a result of additional CAPEX and OPEX due to inefficient network designs and equipment configurations, inefficient sparing, and increased labor costs. In networks with high growth and uncertainty of future demand, the longer-term cost savings of the ROADM solution is more pronounced.
