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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
SR-MPLS and the Optical Network
Meet Segment Routing + MPLS (SR-MPLS), the software enabling the optical and routed layers to become one.
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.
Partner POV | Optical transport technology advancements for utilities
Earlier this year, I blogged about the increasing demands on the power grid and how communication networks can help power utilities ensure reliable, secure service delivery. Adding power generation and distribution capacity is a significant undertaking, and utilities should complement it with a communication network that monitors, controls and secures the grid with ease.
Partner POV | How thin transponders help you get more from coherent pluggables
In life, we sometimes face choices where neither option is perfect and both require trade-offs. Imagine you're choosing between two cars: one is a fuel-efficient compact car with excellent mileage but low horsepower, and the other is a powerful sports car that delivers thrilling performance but consumes far more fuel.
