The exponential growth in data traffic with the need to rationalize Capex / Opex compels Telcos to look at options that allow them to leverage existing network infrastructure while catering to the bandwidth demands seamlessly. DWDM technology offers carriers enough promise to integrate their existing legacy networks and IP based network to deliver a transparent framework that can efficiently handle diverse traffic types while providing scalable options to enhance the network throughput.

EXPECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Justify the rationale for DWDM networks.
Define optical transmission challenges, specify the non-linearities that impact DWDM transmission and list mitigation techniques.
Describe the ITU-T channel grid for CWDM and DWDM.
Step through the building blocks of a DWDM network.
List the different configurations for DWDM networks.
Select appropriate fibers for DWDM networks.
Evaluate amplifiers, lasers and detectors based on performance requirements.
Design optical links based on power budget, dispersion and OSNR.
Identify test measurement equipment and the measured parameters in DWDM systems.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course primarily intended for technical personnel involved in the planning, design, management or support of optical networks.
