Title: The Direction of Optical Technology in the Metro Area
Abstract: In metro networks, explosive, unpredictable bandwidth demands continue to be the norm. Optical solutions are the best answer, but with SONET rings still ubiquitous - “all optical” architectures are still a ways off. For now, carriers need optical solutions that coexist with SONET while evolving toward more flexible-and ultimately all-optical - models.
