With the growing deployment of reconfigurable add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs), several issues and questions arise.
As experts in the field of network testing, we at EXFO have added a special section to our newsletter
that will be dedicated specifically to ROADM-related testing issues.
Join us monthly for a concise look at different aspects of the technology and what they entail. This month:
ROADMs and Network Evolution
Complementary to ROADM technology, the optical transport network (OTN) standard is also driving the evolution
to higher-bandwidth networks. Also known as the digital wrapper or the ITU G.709 standard,
this recommendation was developed to meet today’s transmission needs and improve network performance.
