Broadband Access, WDM Metro and Network Management

Volume 2 "Broadband Access, WDM Metro and Network Management" shows how new optical technologies and architectures can improve the performance of broadband access and WDM metropolitan networks. WDM passive optical networks and WDM rings feature strongly in this volume. A paper from a group of key vendors in Germany will describe a DWDM metro ring network with up to 800 Gb/s using novel add-drop multiplexers.
