The Direction of Optical Technology in the Metro Area

Abstract

In metro networks, explosive, unpredictable bandwidth demands continue to be the norm. Optical solutions are the best answer, but with SONET rings still ubiquitous - “all optical” architectures are still a ways off. For now, carriers need optical solutions that coexist with SONET while evolving toward more flexible-and ultimately all-optical - models.
