LambdaDriver Redundancy Optical Switch

Survivability of optical connections has grown into an issue of the greatest importance for WDM networks as well as for any other optical communication technology. The interruption of high-speed optical connection even for a few seconds means a huge waste of data information. Network operators have therefore to face their customer’s requirements, which are very stringent as to outage periods.

One of the most popular protection techniques is 1+1 dedicated protection, also known as self-healing. The source node splits the signal into two identical copies transmitting them simultaneously on two separate light paths. The receiver node selects the signal with the best quality.

Features
