Toward wide-scale all-optical transparent networking the ACTS optical pan-European network (OPEN) project.

Toward wide-scale all-optical transparent networking the ACTS optical pan-European network (OPEN) project.

The European ACTS project optical pan-European network (OPEN) aims at assessing the feasibility of an optical pan-European overlay network, interconnecting major European cities by means of a mesh of high-capacity optical fiber links, cross-connected through transparent photonic nodes. Both the tran...
