- The power of light.
Bandwidth avalanche changes the network landscape. In the near future, DWDM (dense wave division multiplexing) technology is expected to trigger a bandwidth avalanche that will drive new-wave applications riding next-generation, "speed-of-light" networks. With this in mind, enterprise network managers should ask their carriers how they plan to expand or enhance ......
- Examine the missing link in the all-optical
network.
The optical last mile brings affordable custom service. Until now, service providers have struggled to effectively serve business customers with affordable high-bandwidth services. Without a solution to eliminate the bandwidth bottlenecks that exist in today's copper first mile--the most congested piece of the network--delivering these services will be impossible. The ......

IMAGE CHART 1 Worldwide revenues from wavelength or "lambda" services will more than triple between now and 2005, according to Gartner Dataquest. Drivers include increased LAN and WAN traffic, storage area networks (SANs) and optical Ethernet services. "Wavelength services are a rapidly growing alternative to structured high-end SONET-based private lines ......
- Electronic dispersion compensation brings native 10 Gbps to networks
Bringing new efficiencies to high-speed-optical-communications applications continues to challenge scientists and engineers alike. Whenever they overcome the current set of challenges, the demand for higher bandwidth over greater distances pushes the limitations of technology. Effects that designers previously ignored because they were below the noise floor at lower data rates ......
