Network operators today face a myriad of challenges in expanding their optical infrastructure. New and existing networks require automation, speed to market, support for disaggregated architectures and an open line system strategy in order to respond to exponential traffic growth globally. Optical disaggregation of the optical components allows operators to select which OEMs solution best fits their needs. Adopting this strategy allows for greater flexibility and agility when positioning multiple vendors solutions. In this three-part video series we will review what optical disaggregation and open line systems are, introduce the Infinera Groove G30 platform and review how to use the Infinera Transcend Network Manager System (TNMS) to provision and deploy this solution.

This video series provides a comprehensive overview of optical networking, exploring fiber optics, WDM, DWDM add/drop multiplexers, and optical transceivers. Participants will gain insights into light propagation, network applications, WDM technology, and transceiver performance, enabling them to understand fiber optic cables, network architectures, and make informed decisions about network deployment and optimization.
