Publisher's Synopsis
What you need to know about designing Optical Networks!
Optical technology is the future direction for all communications, whether to support storage data mirroring between data centers, extend Ethernet communications, transfer wireless voice traffic, or transmit video for broadcasting a sporting event. Did you know that optical technology is also utilized in tools used throughout the construction industry, scopes for the medical field, holiday displays in retail stores, and light shows at concerts or theme parks? While you do not need to know how all the optical components work in these fields, you do need to understand the basic fundamentals if you support the communications.
Could you design or at least understand a design of an Optical Network that would provide redundancy, diversity, reliability while easily supporting future growth? This book helps to provide the building blocks needed to design an optical network or easily understand someone else's network design. It will assist you in understanding what questions to ask to assure that the design supports the current and future requirements while maximizing the investment over time.
