CEO's Wavelength: Building Momentum

 

At the recent WDM & Next Generation Optical Networking conference, Nortel presented further evidence for the need for the New Optical Internet. They projected that by 2009, 74 percent of the traffic load on a Tier 1 Core Central Office will be Video on Demand.

 

This bandwidth growth and heightened QOS requirements will require new, innovative architectures. Photonic Crossconnects are becoming an increasingly important part of these architectures.
