The design of dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) networks can encompass a wide variety of tasks and design factors. Depending upon network type and scale, the DWDM design can be very simple—as is the case with point-to-point, unamplified systems—or can be very complex. Many factors should be considered when planning a DWDM network. This chapter examines the general design considerations for DWDM networks and explores their importance for ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform ...
