    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_networking

    Optical networking is a means of communication that uses signals encoded in light to transmit information in various types of telecommunications networks.These include limited range local-area networks (LAN) or wide area networks (WANs), which cross metropolitan and regional areas as well as long-distance national, international and transoceanic networks.

  3. Harmonized System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonized_System

    The process of assigning HS codes is known as "HS Classification". All products can be classified in the HS by using the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System ("GRI") that must be applied in strict order. HS codes can be determined by a variety of factors including a product's composition, its form and its function.

  4. 10G-PON - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10G-PON

    The optical network unit (ONU) supplies network services from the PON to customer premises, connecting customer-premises equipment such as a home gateway or office firewall. An optical network terminal (ONT) is an ONU that functions as a demarcation point servicing a single subscriber; e.g., a dwelling or office.

  5. Network interface device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_interface_device

    An optical network terminal (ONT, an ITU-T term), also known as an optical network unit (ONU, an IEEE term), is used to terminate the optical fiber line, demultiplex the signal into its component parts (voice telephone, television, and Internet access), and provide power to customer telephones.

  6. Reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconfigurable_optical_add...

    In optical communication, a reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) is a form of optical add-drop multiplexer that adds the ability to remotely switch traffic from a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) system at the wavelength layer. This is achieved through the use of a wavelength selective switching module.

  7. Wavelength selective switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength_Selective_Switching

    A software controlled binary liquid crystal stack, individually tilts each optical channel and a second grating (or a second pass of the first grating) is used to spectrally recombine the beams. The offsets created by the liquid crystal stack cause the resulting spectrally recombined beams to be spatially offset, and hence to focus, through a ...

  8. Passive optical network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_optical_network

    Downstream traffic in active (top) vs. passive optical network. A passive optical network consists of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office (hub), passive (non-power-consuming) optical splitters, and a number of optical network units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs), which are near end users.

  9. Optical line termination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_line_termination

    An optical line termination (OLT), also called an optical line terminal, is a device which serves as the service provider endpoint of a passive optical network. It provides two main functions: to perform conversion between the electrical signals used by the service provider's equipment and the fiber optic signals used by the passive optical ...
