The article discusses the results that would indicate the viability of a high-speed router with integrated 40 gigabytes per second (Gbps) interfaces over a 10 Gbps dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) metro or regional network. The test network involved 960 kilometers of standard single-mode fiber covering 10 reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers and a back-to-back terminal filter. It was determined in the study that the use of 40 Gbps phase-shaped binary transmission over 10 Gbps metro/regional networks could further enhance the performance of the progressively crowded fiber optic networks of major multiple system operators.
