Furthermore,
optical add-drop multiplexer technologies are gaining traction in enterprises, data centres and networking services providers.
Installing the equipment over an existing third-party ROADM (reconfigurable
optical add-drop multiplexer) network, Ekinops was able to provide a cost-efficient solution supporting both 100G and 10G services running on parallel links on the same network.
It is well known that an
optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) is a device used for multiplexing and routing different channels of light into or out of the bus waveguide/fiber, and has been generally used for the construction of optical telecommunication networks.
The company said that one of its first and largest investments in Illinois was upgrading Frontier's backbone fibre network with ROADM technology (Reconfigurable
Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) that increased its approximately 80 fold across our new 800 gigabit network for its existing and new High-Speed customers.
An
optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) is a device used in wavelength-division multiplexing systems for multiplexing and routing different channels of light into or out of a single mode fiber (SMF).
The WDM and ROADM (Reconfigurable
Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) products, enable carriers and enterprises to cost effectively add capacity to their existing optical networks and deliver high-bandwidth applications and services without investing in additional fibre cabling.

Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (OADM): One of several methods available in which the path of light can be switched without electrical conversion, thereby enabling effective use of wavelength resources.
Announcing this on Wednesday, the company said that to date, approximately 345 Reconfigurable
Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) systems have been fully-integrated into Frontier's networks to enhance optical network flexibility and manageability and improve the customer experience.
