Optical Communication-MOBILECRACKERS

Today's telecommunications service providers are faced with what appears to be an insoluble problem. They must maintain and even increase profitability, while responding to an exponential growth in demand with networks that are even more complex and costly to deploy and maintain.
Since the requirements for both profitability and the ability to offer new, revenue-rich services are givens, the solution must be found in the networks Service providers must find a way to build networks with the flexibility of IP, the reliability of SONET/SDH, and the scalability of optics at costs that will allow them to offer services at competitive prices. Photonic Service Switching (PSS) offers exactly that: a new network model that permits graceful evolution to simpler, more cost-effective core networks.
