OTN—or Optical Transport Network—is a telecommunications industry standard protocol— defined in various ITU Recommendations, such as G. 798 —that provides an efficient way to transport, switch, and multiplex different services onto high-capacity wavelengths across the. M, DWDM) for applications in high-speed traveling-wave protection. Features: Multi-wavelength multiplexing/high-speed long-distance transmission/optical layer monitoring. Optical Transport Network (OTN) switching and transport play critical roles in supporting modern optical transport networks based on Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology. With the endless upgrades and improvements, WDM technology is no longer just adopted by carriers and service providers, but also applied for.
