    October 16, 2013: APPLICATIONS FOR DWDM
    

    Service providers seeking to optimize their fiber plant and reduce construction and infrastructure costs have often looked to WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) solutions to make the most of the fibers they have in place. In addition, the ability to multiplex multiple services on fewer fibers is a benefit when leasing or paying for fiber runs.
