As competitive pressures squeeze the carriers' current financial models, there is a need to drive down operational costs in order to remain profitable. With the increase in network traffic growth coming from the home as opposed to businesses, the ability to cost effectively manage customer and service additions and changes is critical.
This white paper looks at how carriers are responding by flattening their networks in order to reduce operating costs (OPEX) - and how the next generation of reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) makes this converged network possible.
This white paper shows that by looking at the big picture - the total cost of ownership (including CAPEX and OPEX) - it is easy to see how ROADMs come out as the most cost effective solution for network operators to build and run profitable metro core or regional networks.
