Many colours - lots of gigabits
What is Illuminated Fibre (WDM)?
An optical fibre is capable of transferring vast amounts of
information via beams of light. If you break up the light into
different colours - ie. wavelengths - a single fiber can
carry many streams of information at very high speeds without the
individual streams interfering with each other. In this way you
achieve both a very high capacity and a physical separation of the
data flows. This method is called WDM or Wavelength Division
Multiplexing.
What are the benefits of Illuminated Fiber (WDM)?
Firstly, Illuminated Fibre
(WDM) offers very high speeds of up to 10 gigabits per
second per wavelength. A total of 40 wavelengths can be used on a
single fibre, enabling a maximum speed of 400 gigabits per second
per fibre. Secondly, Illuminated Fiber (WDM), is a highly secure
solution, because the data stream on a single wave is never mixed
with any other data. With Illuminated Fiber (WDM) you're in reality
operating your own private network.
How do you use Illuminated Fiber (WDM)?
Illuminated Fiber (WDM) is used mainly by companies in need of
high transport capacity, high security and appreciate the freedom
to manage their own networks. The freedom lies in the fact that
with Illuminated Fiber (WDM) you essentially become your own
broadband supplier. You are free to allocate all of your
transportation resources as you see fit. At the same time
Illuminated Fiber (WDM) offers significant future-proofing, as it
is always possible in a simple manner to add more carriers.
