Optical Networking Assessment

Over the past decade, the Optical Network Communication industry has experienced an explosive growth, magnifying its size fourfold. Concurrently, consumer demands on these networks have surged to unprecedented levels. The long-standing infrastructure, which has faithfully served for decades, is now under immense strain. Traffic increases due to AI, streaming video, etc. stress the network on a global scale. Network operators are in dire need of assistance to kickstart the process of accelerating the modernization of the network while integrating new features and enhancing existing capacity. The Optical Network Acceleration Service is geared towards expediting the modernization of your network. It involves a comprehensive review and evaluation of the network elements that support optical transport (SONET/SDH, OTN/DWDM, PoE/TDM/CEM, and more). This service encompasses site surveys, staging reviews, configuration and integration evaluations, and in-depth testing procedures—all aimed at ensuring that your optical network changes and updates align with your ultimate goals.
