Deploying CWDM to Overcome Bandwidth Limitations of FTTH Access Networks
Overview FTTH networks in North America are being built using various PON architectures fed from a common backhaul. As networks grow in terms of geographic reach, subscriber counts and the scope and number of services offered, Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) has clearly become the preferred method for increasing the bandwidth of these optical access networks quickly, simply and at lowest cost. Passive CWDM requires absolutely no electrical power and the technology has proven itself to be sufficiently robust and reliable for installation in the most demanding environmental conditions. Products recently released to the market allow enhanced flexibility in terms of network planning and installation while preserving scalability to handle far higher data transmission volumes as bandwidth needs expand.
