AT&T is turning its software-centric attention to its optical networks, announcing during this week’s Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) that has joined up with Ciena, Fujitsu, and Nokia to create a Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) for open reconfigurable add drop multiplexers (ROADM) group.
This group has been charged with building and publishing open standards for ROADMs. It is making the ROADM specs openly available to other companies that want to take advantage of them.
