Value proposition for amplets as banded amplification solutions in evolving WDM metro network architectures

Abstract

The benefits of amplets as banded amplification solutions in metro networks are quantified. In current networks that employ WDM as point-to-point fiber relief among pairs of super-hubs in synchronous optical network (SONET) rings, banded solutions based on erbium-doped waveguide amplifiers (EDWAs) provide a strong techno-economic value proposition. As WDM penetrates into the metro core with the introduction of WDM ring/mesh connectivity and eventually into the edge, this specific value proposition weakens. We present a physical transport performance model as well as simplified economic analysis on specific network simulation scenarios that represent the above actual metro network architecture evolution to support the value proposition.
