Get the latest information on optical networking technologies, companies and trends.

Penetrate the facts behind the speculation on optical networking's promise as a potential solution to skyrocketing Internet traffic. With Steve Shepard's Optical Networking Crash Course, you'll discover what's what, who's who, and how it all works together in the speed-of-light world of optical networking. From technologies, equipment, companies and competitors to nitty-gritty issues such as security, signal sinks, backhoe fade, add-drop mix and much, much more, this state-of-the-art guide is a must-read if you want to:

Compare optical and other strategies such as cable, DSL, and LMDS
Understand optical technology means, methods, potentials, and constraints
Learn what DWDM (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing) is and why it could change everything
Get straight answers on optical transport issues, routing, switching and more.
