CWDM or DWDM: Which Should You Use and When?
While the two types of wavelength division multiplexing —CWDM and DWDM — are both effective methods to solve increasing bandwidth capacity needs, they are designed to tackle different network challenges.
How Does WDM Technology Work?
WDM technologies allow organizations to place equipment at either end of a fiber pair and combine multiple wavelength channels on a single fiber pair instead of using multiple separate fibers pairs for every separate service.
Optical Data Center Interconnect: Connecting Your Data Centers With Private DWDM Technology
Optical Data Center Interconnect (DCI) provides a cost saving, high density, flexible alternative to leased circuits for connecting geographically separated data centers.
Four Ways to Accelerate TDM-to-IP Migration
Unprecedented bandwidth demand is straining legacy TDM systems, which are quickly becoming antiquated. Transitioning from TDM-to-IP is an evolution of the network — a convergence of voice, data and video into a single packet-based network.
Seven Key Advantages of Optical Networking Technologies
With the rise in bandwidth needs driven by 5G, cloud computing and data backup, the need for a high-capacity optical transport network to support future bandwidth growth is critical.
Partner POV | Closing the AI Divide: How Power Utilities Can Make the Difference
Modern optical technology helps power utilities bring AI and digital services to rural markets and boost revenue with DCI-MOFN.
Squeeze ROI Out of Legacy Technology With Converged IT/OT Solutions
WWT, Cisco and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories recently demonstrated a converged transport solution aimed at helping utility organizations at the DistribuTECH International conference.
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.
SR-MPLS and the Optical Network
Meet Segment Routing + MPLS (SR-MPLS), the software enabling the optical and routed layers to become one.
Evolve Your Legacy DWDM Network With CDC-ROADM
CDC-ROADM technologies help operators to break out of the traditional confines of fixed grid architectures. This empowers operators to allow for greater agility and survivability of wavelength services within the ROADM construct.
400G Optics: Enabling Network Scale and Device Consolidation
How do you cost effectively interconnect 300,000 servers in one data center? Faster switches are a solution, sure, but that's only half the story. Learn how faster Optics are a must to realize the benefit of faster switching and routing technology.
Is Hop-by-Hop the Future of Optical Transport Networking?
Have the optical networking and routing stars aligned? They very well may have. Let's take a look at why.
