Summary
Network operators need to make best use of their IP and Optical network resources. During this webinar we will explain how a new generation of high power coherent transceiver technologies is allowing us to assemble the traditional network building blocks in novel ways creating new architectures. Whatever the choice, the webinar shows how to construct a unified IP Optical network at the lowest TCO.
Topics we will cover include:
- The toolbox of coherent pluggables
- Understanding the cost and flexibility tradeoffs of deploying in routers or transponders
- The role of the Open Line System (OLS)
- Use cases of different architectures
- A unified operations framework for end-to-end service provisioning with full visibility of the optical path for all architectures
