Next Gen ROADMs: What to Look For

With the expansion of broadband services and growing traffic, new thinking is required to enable core networks to provide the quality of service levels and response times demanded. 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 possible.

In these competitive times, network operators must carefully consider each dollar they spend to ensure it helps manage growing broadband traffic demands and facilitates the evolution towards a converged network. At the optical transport level, these joint objectives—improved capacity and maximized efficiency—can be achieved by relying on ROADMs to do some of the heavy lifting in the network.

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.
