Optical Disaggregation and Open Line System Briefing

Network operators face many challenges in scaling their optical infrastructure. Networks today need support for disaggregated architectures and open line systems (OLS) in order to expand their capacity. Additionally, there is an increasing need for automation and speed to market. Disaggregation of optical components allows operators to select which OEMs solution best fits their needs. Adopting this strategy allows for greater flexibility and agility when positioning multiple vendors solutions.
