Wavelength Routing

Wavelength routing is a technique used in optical networks to direct data signals at specific wavelengths of light through fiber optic cables. Each wavelength can carry different data streams simultaneously, similar to how multiple radio stations can broadcast at different frequencies. Wavelength routing allows for efficient use of network resources by assigning the right wavelength to each data stream, ensuring it reaches its destination without interference. This method enhances data transmission capacity and speed in telecom networks, making it vital for handling increasing internet traffic and improving overall communication efficiency.
