Global Optical Transport Network Equipment Market 2017-2021

About Optical Transport Network Equipment

OTN is a set of network elements that are connected using optical fiber links. This network provides functions, including the data transportation, switching, multiplexing, supervision, management, and monitoring of client channels carrying client signals. The network is defined by the G.709 interface of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). This interface has made it possible to provide a network-wide framework, adding similar features such as SONET/SDH to WDM equipment. An OTN uses different technologies such as WDM and SONET/SDH and allows the passing of data packets from the source to the recipient, along minimum-hop transmission paths. These routers are connected through optical interfaces, offering bandwidth speeds up to 100 Gbit/s over distances of around 40 km. These interfaces have created a transparent, hierarchical network that can be used for both WDM devices and time-division multiplexing (TDM) devices. The carriers in the market are on the lookout to reduce the capital expenditure (CAPEX) while adjusting and addressing the changes in the traffic type and the increased traffic over the network. The OTN control plane, based on generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS), automates many of the functions of the OTN.
