Optical Networking Assessment
Over the past decade, the Optical Network Communication industry has experienced an explosive growth, magnifying its size fourfold. Concurrently, consumer demands on these networks have surged to unprecedented levels. The long-standing infrastructure, which has faithfully served for decades, is now under immense strain. Traffic increases due to AI, streaming video, etc. stress the network on a global scale. Network operators are in dire need of assistance to kickstart the process of accelerating the modernization of the network while integrating new features and enhancing existing capacity.
The Optical Network Acceleration Service is geared towards expediting the modernization of your network. It involves a comprehensive review and evaluation of the network elements that support optical transport (SONET/SDH, OTN/DWDM, PoE/TDM/CEM, and more). This service encompasses site surveys, staging reviews, configuration and integration evaluations, and in-depth testing procedures—all aimed at ensuring that your optical network changes and updates align with your ultimate goals.

Optical Data Center Interconnect (DCI) Briefing
Optical Data Center Interconnect (DCI) is a widely deployed architecture that provides high density, layer 1 connectivity between two physically disperse locations. Traditionally, most enterprise network operators lease these services from various service providers, paying a monthly recurring fee based on size and quantity of circuits. Though leased circuits have their benefits, deploying your own DCI network has become a very popular option amongst network operators of all sizes. Cost savings, flexibility of bandwidth growth, security and operational control are some of the reasons driving operators to deploy their own DCI system.
Optical Disaggregation and Open Line System Briefing
Network operators face many challenges in scaling their optical infrastructure. Networks today need support for disaggregated architectures and open line systems (OLS) in order to expand their capacity. Additionally, there is an increasing need for automation and speed to market. Disaggregation of 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.
Converged Optical & Packet Networking Briefing
Within the past five years, there have been tremendous advancements in both optical and routing technologies. These advancements present a compelling technical solution and a strong business case to combine, or converge, Optical and Routing architectures into one platform.
Should You Implement Optical Open Line Systems and Disaggregation?
Open line systems and disaggregation allow network operators to prevent vendor lock-in, upgrade technology cycles at a rapid pace, increase network capacity/speed and reduce CapEx and OpEx. This empowers operators to deploy the most cost-effective, highly adaptive and scalable network possible.
