Bit-Error-Rate Testing Has Just Got Simpler

fibers.org News, 20 Sep 2005 In more and more optical networks, 10 Gbit/s is increasingly seen as the norm, rather than the exception. In long-haul, regional and metro optical backbones, for example, telcos are being forced to upgrade native DWDM wavelengths from 2.5 to 10 Gbit/s line rates, spurred on by soaring broadband penetration. At the same time, 10 Gigabit Ethernet continues its emergence in data-centric telecoms and enterprise networks, with volume applications likely to follow in storage-area networks, IP television and video-on-demand.
