ROADM Benefits
fixed OADM
Remote provisioning and reconfiguration
Eliminate truck rolls to intermediate sites
Reduce cost through OEO elimination end-end
wavelength networking
The underlying premise: less electronics + more
optics = lower cost
But
32-40 WDM
Option 1:
New end-end and muxponders
Inefficient wavelength fill
Stranded capacity & faster
capacity exhaust
Option 2:
Use existing s and muxponders
Added cost from extra interfaces
Manual inter-connects at back-back sites
require truck rolls and extra OpEx

Dispersion Compensation
- FFE and DFE can compensate
upwards of 1000ps/nm
- MLSE can correct upwards of
3000ps/nm dispersion
- Significant space savings vs. DCF
- Cost per device: 10s of
Reach Improvement
PM and Operations
conversion compared to
the cost for manipulating
the data
Implementing featurerich network & service
functionality incurs a
cost premium
Silicon cost is not the
problem
it is the conversion
cost from Optical to
Electronic
DIRECT BENEFITS:
