Abstract
Rapid progress in key technologies continues to be a major driver in the evolution of communications networks. In this paper we examine three critical technologies: microelectronics, photonics, and distributed processing. We review the current state of technology available in products, the likely trends in each based on research currently underway, and the resulting implications on network architecture capabilities.
