Reconfigurable OADM
ROADM technology offers service providers network flexibility without major up front planning or future reconstruction of the network to accommodate unforeseen service demand. In addition, ROADM technology holds a very promising future in the realisation of all optical switching and protection. In a ROADM network element, each ROADM component is used to add and drop channels from a single degree. The ROADM components are interconnected in order to allow channels to be connected from one degree to the other. Therefore ROADM modules have ports that allow optical interconnection as well as for the dropping of local channels.
Features:
- Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM)
- 8 or 40 channels
- Cost effective, affordable and scalable optical networks
- Remote configuration and reconfiguration
- Ideal for service providers with different customer requirements
