carriers deploying 40G on 10G network infrastructure
For carriers deploying 40G on existing 10G network infrastructure, mdi's approach to optical network health management provides the following benefits :
enables the assessment of your existing 10G network assets to determine the additional cost to upgrade infrastructure, without taking down revenue-generating traffic, by using mdi’s unique in-service monitoring tool
facilitates characterization of existing 10G systems for OSNR, CD, and PMD simultaneously with one single tool; lowering equipment cost, optimizing technician time and dealing with uncertainties
provides extension of the life of your network assets by deploying 40G capacity on suitable 10G infrastructure, which has been pre-certified with mdi tool and therefore laying the groundwork for the deployment of Smart Infrastructure
