The ADVA G.metro solution is the first turnkey offering of its kind to cost-effectively help mobile and enterprise networks boost access capacity while at the same time saving vital fiber resources. The new technology, which features enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) DWDM transceivers, a complete suite of compact filters, and in-service fiber and wavelength monitoring, provides an easy way to increase bandwidth without replacing equipment.

TDM-PON solutions (e.g., GPON) are highly efficient
for connecting many users in a “best effort” manner
However, TDM-PON is not good for:
 High data-rate links with committed bandwidth
 Security-sensitive customers (e.g., banks)
 Low-latency links (e.g., fronthaul)
TDM-PON is good for residential access but not for business services
Limitations of TDM-PON

Grey optics are very efficient for the realization of
point-to-point connections
However, grey optics are not good for:
 Customers with limited fiber availability
 High channel-count applications (high opex)
 Linear add/drop configurations (prone to error)
Grey optics are good for simple point-to-point links only
Limitations of grey optics

New technologies and applications are creating a
need for more fiber. However, what happens if:
• No (more) fiber available? Leasing fiber is too expensive?
• Deploying new fiber is not possible or too expensive?
WDM enables high-speed connectivity of multiple sites
with just one fiber or fiber pair
