Optical Transport Networks (OTN)

Optical Transport Networks (OTNs) are high-capacity communication systems that transmit large amounts of data over fiber-optic cables using light signals. They organize data into standardized containers called “frames,” ensuring efficient, reliable, and flexible data transfer across long distances. OTNs support multiple types of data, such as internet, phone, and video, by multiplexing different signals onto a single fiber. They use sophisticated technology to detect and correct errors, manage network traffic, and maintain service quality, making them essential for global communications infrastructure.
