研究目的
Investigating the cost reduction and efficiency improvements of using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks for point-to-point fiber links compared to conventional networks.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that WDM networks can significantly reduce life cycle costs (up to 20% per platform) and improve network flexibility and scalability compared to conventional networks. Future studies could explore the application of WDM networks in more complex network architectures.
研究不足
The study focuses on point-to-point fiber links and may not cover all network architectures or configurations. Potential areas for optimization include further reduction in fusion splice losses and connector costs.
