I use "silkroad" to refer to the philosophy of Pure and "SilkRoad" to refer to the company. I might add that WDM and SR are different. From the company's site: Using existing, off-the-shelf products, SilkRoad technology uses a single transmission laser on a single fiber to support any fiber architecture or extant optical transmission-all without complicated software or amplification. While the laser beam SilkRoad's technology uses is similar to that used in DWDM, our innovation does not require the tuned cavity on the laser (required to provide a specific wavelength). Instead, SilkRoad's system collects the channels (typically OC48 ) before they are introduced on the modulator. Customers can then input many OC3 through OC48 type signals using only one wavelength of light, either 1310 nm or 1550 nm or both. By stacking a set of data channels in a four-dimensional optical space, this technology is modulated onto the optical beam using an external optical modulator.
