Fig shows DWDM deployment on an OC-192 trunk ring for wavelength.
DWDM is a technology that puts together multiplexes data signals from different sources so, they can share a single optical fiber pair while maintaining complete partition of the data stream.
Individual signal is carried on a separate light wavelength. The dense part of DWDM refers to the fact that more than 80 separate wavelength, each about 0.8 of a nano-meter (nm) wide can short a single optical fiber.
DWDM allows enormous amount of data to traverse a single network link. Because they are
carried an clear wavelength, the streams also called channel do not interfere with each other.
Consequently data integrity if maintained of well as any security related positioning is also maintained.
Advantage:-
i) Improve scalability
ii) Provide extra resilience
iii) Maximum Capacity system available.
iv) Greater fiber capacity
v) Easier network expansion
vi) Can conserve switched bandwidth
vii) DWDM System Capable of longer span length
