Division Multiplex, WDM)
- Wavelength Services are
dedicated, protected wavelengths from a service provider for
the exclusive use of a customer. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
is service or the sale of discrete wavelengths on a fiber transport
facility. WDM transmits multiple wavelengths over a single optical
fiber, each data signal using its own wavelength (color band).
Wavelength services often are protocol independent.
Wavelength-division Multiplexing - (WDM) - A technology in fibre-optic communications. WDM is a scheme for transmitting two or more separate signals over a single fiber optic cable by using a separate wavelength (color) for each signal. wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength_division_multiplexing Frequency-division Multiplexing - (FDM) - wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency-division_multiplexing |
