Further enhancing network flexibility, Transmode today announced the availability of a range of network management tools for flexible optical networks.

Today's metro and regional optical networks are increasingly incorporating complex technologies previously deployed in more expensive long haul optical solutions, such as Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs). These new advances bring great benefits, such as additional flexibility through dynamic bandwidth provisioning but at the lower cost points associated with metro and regional optical systems.

Additional flexibility comes with additional challenges in terms of managing the optical network. Transmode has addressed these challenges through the introduction of new modules for the Transmode Network Manager (TNM) management system, namely Transmission Control and Channel Control.
