Translucent optical networks the way forward.

The transmission reach of signals in optical transmission systems is limited. To go beyond these transparent reach limits, signal regeneration is necessary to re-amplify, reshape, and retime the optical signals. Translucent optical networks are a type of optical transport network specifically devise...
