What Is It?
IntelliLight Optical Transport Service (IOTS) is an advanced data networking service that uses Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology. DWDM uses the properties of refracted light to both combine and separate optical signals based on their wavelengths within the optical spectrum. Therefore, DWDM allows for a more efficient use of existing fiber by providing multiple optical paths along a single pair of fibers.
What's It For?
IOTS is the solution for customers who need to:
 |
 |
Create a disaster avoidance solution |
|
|
Aggregate multiple services on a common platform |
|
|
Improve ease of management |
|
|
Increase use of existing bandwidth. |
How It Works
DWDM allows for a greater range of protocol transmission better suited than legacy network for data-centric applications, e.g. GigE, ESCON, Fibre Channel, D1 Video, ISC. Customers can consolidate multiple networks supporting these technologies along with SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) based data networks thereby increasing network efficiency and centralizing network management.
