'Hitless' Transmitter Converts Electronic Signals to Optical

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A bandwidth variable transmitter (BVT) that converts electronic signals to optical signals has been shown to work without service interruptions, an advantage known as being "hitless." The transmitter’s bandwidth can also be adjust for varying bandwidths, allowing for optimized performance without constant and costly infrastructure upgrades. Arnaud Dupas of Nokia Bell Labs will describe the device at The Optical Fiber Communication and Exhibition Conference (OFC) in Anaheim, Calif., in March. Most BVTs work by changing the format of the optical signal, converting...Read full article
