An Overview of the SPEED-CARRIER WDM System
By using Wave Divison technologies, fibre optic capacities can be elegantly and cost-efficiently multiplied. A few years ago, expensive WDM optics and complex installation processes prohibited wide-spread commercial use of WDM systems for regional and local fibre optic connections. These limitations are overcome by the current generation of WDM systems. The SPEED-CARRIER WDM series grows flexibly along network requirements – from simple n x E1 system up to redundant multi 10 Gigabit nodes. Developed and manufactured in Germany, the Pan Dacom SPEED-CARRIER WDM System offers the highest standards of quality, reliability, outstanding flexibility and cost efficiency.
