Cost-efficient mobile backhaul with active/passive DWDM

Ensure redundancy and efficient use of fiber without manual attenuation

Scaling mobile backhaul while keeping it redundant usually forces a tradeoff: costly new fiber, power-hungry equipment at every site, or a passive network that falls short on reliability. Each of these approaches adds cost, complexity, or risk as your footprint grows.

Learn how active/passive DWDM solves this, including how to:

  • Improve redundancy and capacity use with dedicated wavelengths assigned to each remote node
  • Remove active equipment and manual attenuation from remote sites with centralized optical control in the hub
  • Maintain signal balance automatically with bidirectional equalization and pre-emphasis across the ring

Wherever redundancy, cost efficiency, and ease of use matter across your network, the same architecture can extend those benefits to a range of other backhaul applications.
