Selon les principaux analystes du secteur, notre domination du marché mondial des réseaux optiques longues distance s'est poursuivie. De plus, nous avons continué d'être la figure de proue en matière de conception de réseau tout photonique et des premières interfaces Ethernet à 10 gigabits pour le multiplexage par répartition en longueur d'onde dense (DWDM) longue distance sur le marché. 1, record 1, French, - multiplexage%20par%20r%C3%A9partition%20en%20longueur%20d%27onde%20dense

La multiplexación por división de longitud de onda densa(DWDM) permite multiplicar la capacidad de la fibra óptica, que permite enviar ingentes volúmenes de información en formatos dispares(voz, imágenes, sonido...) a gran velocidad. Tiene una capacidad de 20 giga bits que puede incrementarse hasta 720 giga bits para hacer frente al previsible aumento de la demanda y a unos servicios que requieran un mayor ancho de banda. 1, record 1, Spanish, - multiplexaci%C3%B3n%20por%20divisi%C3%B3n%20de%20longitud%20de%20onda%20densa
