The modular and flexible architecture of the product will help Taiwan Mobile reduce cost and complexity through a common optical platform using DWDM and coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) technologies. Because it supports a variety of data transport methods, the platform helps telecommunication companies reduce capital and operational costs and helps simplify the their networks, making them easier to manage and troubleshoot.
