With the evolution of the telecommunications industry, many operators find themselves with a constant reduction in revenues obtained from providing traditional services, such as voice, based on a legacy TDM infrastructure. In the search for new services and in order to maintain business sustainability, operators need to overcome the difficulties imposed by the increasing transformation in the type of volume of traffic in their transport networks.
Other than struggling with operation difficulties in a hybrid network, operators need to win against the pressure for higher bandwidth in their transport networks. By taking advantage of the optic fiber base already installed, operators can optimize new investments in optical networks by finding innovative and flexible solutions which permits the transmission of multiple optical channels in a single fiber with the latest generation of WDM technology.
