DWDM is the technology that allows multiple streams of data to flow in one optical fiber of optical communication network. DWDM is the key technology at the heart of new systems and networks that offers more bandwidth at less cost. Soon, DWDM promises to change bandwidth from a premium to a commodity item.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDWDM: Networks, Devices, and Technology\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive treatment of DWDM, its technology, systems, and networks, as well as engineering design.
