As an industry professional, you may be interested to know about an upcoming online event being presented by Light Reading (www.lightreading.com).
Entitled "CWDM: Optical Capacity, Without the Cost," this free Web seminar (or "Webinar") will evaluate the latest developments in this critical market.
Carriers and service providers face a problem: They need to install optical capacity in their networks; but, despite some reductions in the cost of DWDM, the expense involved is still too high. Systems and components vendors now have
a solution: CWDM.
CWDM, or coarse wavelength-division multiplexing, represents one of the brightest spots in the networking industry this year. These solutions promise service providers the means to add capacity to access networks, metro networks, or even storage area networks (SANs) for as little as 30 percent of the price of conventional DWDM solutions. When used in combination with certain new types of fiber, the payoff from these systems - in both performance and price - can be even greater.
This Webinar will discuss:
- Cost and performance comparison of CWDM/DWDM
- Business case for CWDM
- Challenges facing CWDM vendors
- The architecture of a typical CWDM environment
- Key building blocks
- Feedback from first users
Join us on Tuesday, November 19th, at 11:00 a.m. PST / 2:00 p.m. EST, for this live Webinar sponsored by Cisco Systems, OFS, and Transmode Systems.
