Optical wavelength services provide high-speed network connections for data services and internet access over fiber-optic lines, where multiple channels are transmitted over a single fiber strand to enable high-bandwidth network connections.
The primary types of bandwidth in optical wavelength services include less than 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, 100 Gbps, and more than 100 Gbps. The term '10 Gbps' refers to the gigabit per second speed of Ethernet, denoting the speed at which documents can be uploaded and downloaded. 10 Gigabit technology offers a speed of up to 10 billion bits per second. Various fiber channel interfaces, such as OTN, SONET, and Ethernet, cater to different applications such as short-haul, metro, and long-haul connections. These services find utility among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), large enterprises, and government entities.
