Enabling IP on Glass Through Wavelength Routing

Description:
Traffic on the Internet is growing at rates never seen before in telecommunications. As the Internet proliferates and changes the way we all live, work, play, and learn, how will service provider backbones evolve to not only support the bandwidth required to drive the Internet but also the evolutionary applications shaping every aspect of our lives? The end-goal service providers are striving for is an IP on glass infrastructure. But how do providers reach this goal? One such path is through the introduction of wavelength routing in the service provider’s optical core. This presentation will provide a brief overview of wavelength routing and how Wavelength Routers^TM can provide a path from the service provider’s current TDM infrastructure to one of IP on glass.
