Toward Network Transparency
Highly Dynamic Optical Network
Drivers of Transparency
- Improve network scalability (high bit rates)
- Lower network capex and opex
- Multi-protocol, multi-service network
- Reduced provisioning time
- Core network interoperability
Electronic network systems have high cost, poor scalability, and
limited network service flexibility
Low cost, scalable optical technologies drive the network toward higher degrees of transparency and reconfigurability
