Title
Study on the Implementation of Optical Transparent Transport Networks in the European Environment—Results of the Research Project COST 239
Abstract
This paper reports the main results obtained in the framework of the COST239 project on the implementation of transparent optical network schemes to connect main European cities. The investigation on transmission limitations has shown that transmission systems, for which 16x2.5 Gbit/s WDM systems are used due to traffic reasons, have a maximum range shorter than 1000 km. This condition does not allow a completely transparent network. Two solutions, the partitioned and the gridconnected network architecture, are proposed, described, and compared in the paper.
