HOW WDM HELPS YOU EXPAND AND OPTIMIZE YOUR NETWORK CAPACITY

We increase bandwidth by allowing data streams at different frequencies to be sent over a single optical fiber network

Wavelength Division Multiplexing

This is WDM

Organizations thrive on communication — a flow of data that runs between divisions and people powering progress. Fiber optic cables are roads that carry information from office to office, site to site, country to country. Wavelength Division Multiplexing, WDM, increases bandwidth by allowing different data streams to be sent over a single optical fiber network, optimizing the usage of the fiber. Our vision is to make this happen in the simplest and most cost-effective way possible

Many organizations have yet to discover the benefits of WDM networking and how it can be used to maximize network investments. Here we have collected all you need to know about WDM to get the most out of your fiber network: articles, guides, videos and use cases.
