Abstract
Ten Gb/s Optical Add/Drop Mulitplexers (OADMs) were initially designed for long-haul and ultra-long-haul, point- to-point, optical networking applications. Adapting these long-haul products to the metro has resulted in expensive solutions with limited flexibility. However, next-generation 10 Gb/s wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) solutions are now available that are targeted specifically at metro and regional applications. These next-generation 10 Gb/s products are much more cost-effective and have much higher flexibility.
