How Next-Generation WDM technology is transforming ALL IP bearer networks

摘要

IP bearer networks are the IP-based multi-service solutions which will form the basis of all future generation networks. During operator transformations, an ALL IP bearer network will consolidate all independent network resources into a unified bearer network. This not only significantly extends the services operators can offer but also decreases their CAPEX/OPEX. IP bearer networks are vastly different to traditional internet broadband counterparts. Such networks offer higher QoS, security and reliability. They also have far simpler operation management requirements. Traditional broadband networks cannot be updated to meet these higher requirements. In other words, ALL IP bearer networks are new networks with advanced IP technologies.
