Software-Defined Optics

A Unified Network for Tomorrow’s Bandwidth Demands

Coupling Technology with Customer Needs to Create End-User Value

Service providers are looking to develop new sustainable business models, where bandwidth growth is addressed while total cost of ownership is optimized, including energy and space savings. The result will be next-generation photonic networks that can mimic the flexibility, automation and fast time-to-service capabilities of digital-based transport networks, while ensuring the bandwidth efficiency of pure photonic networks.

The days of stranded bandwidth and constraints in network planning and configuration are history.
