SilkRoad's technology requires only one laser in its transmission device. SRSC is also immune to amplification and regeneration of data signals along the strand of fiber. In addition, where WDM would require an expensive piece of equipment to terminate a transmission, SilkRoad's technology allows service providers to access the technology via a beam splitter and receiver box anywhere along the fiber strand. WDM and SRSC could work together in theory. For every lane traveling in one direction, another goes the other way.
Data signals have to be regenerated along the way.
SilkRoad Inc.'s technology tiers lanes of data on top of each other, allowing more data onto every lane on every strand of fiber. Then subscribe to the IAW E-Mail Alert. Openwave Be a part of the communications revolution. 810, the high-tech dream machine. Ziff Davis Media.
