Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Coherent Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Optical Transport system?
Coherent DWDM is an advanced optical networking technology that uses sophisticated modulation techniques to transmit multiple high-capacity data streams over a single fiber optic strand. It is crucial for high-bandwidth, long-distance communication.
What does a 'capacity upgrade' license enable?
A capacity upgrade license, like this 100G one, allows your existing hardware to handle a higher volume of data traffic than its base configuration. It essentially unlocks more bandwidth and throughput potential.
Is this a perpetual license or a subscription?
This is a subscription-based software license, meaning you pay a recurring fee for its use, typically on an annual or multi-year basis, providing ongoing access to the enhanced capacity.
