Abstract :
In an effort to meet core, regional, and metro network requirements, 40G DWDM suppliers have employed numerous modulation formats. A combination of market segmentation and lack of investment in standardization has resulted in a highly fragmented market for suppliers of 40G technology. We explore how the 100G market may differ.
