As demand for higher-capacity networks grows, achieving a flatter, more efficient data plane is crucial to reducing both cost and power consumption per bit. However, with new services emerging over the next decade, spectral resources in some fibre links will become exhausted.
🔹 Two Viable Solutions from ALLEGRO 🔹
💡 1. Leveraging Existing Fibre Deployments
For networks with multiple deployed fibres, capacity can be doubled by adding a new degree at nodes where congestion occurs. This avoids the complexity of Space-Division Multiplexing (SDM) while maximizing existing infrastructure.
💡 2. Gradual C+L Band Expansion
A selective implementation of the C+L band on the most congested links provides a targeted capacity boost where it’s needed most. This flexible strategy ensures optimized infrastructure investment while maintaining seamless, congestion-free operation.
🔗 Why It Matters
By strategically augmenting existing infrastructure, ALLEGRO ensures scalability and adaptability without disruptive overhauls. This cost-efficient approach helps future-proof networks, ensuring they can handle growing traffic demands before resource-intensive deployments become necessary.
