With several options like open line systems, compact modular, and packet optical convergence solutions available in the market, network operators need to consider several factors before partnering with an optical networking solution provider. For companies looking to partner with the right optical networking solution provider, the focus should be on the next generation of optical transport.When it comes to optical networking, compact modular platforms have witnessed a significant boom in product development and sales in recent years. While legacy systems are often large, bulky, and require several rack servers along with significant power and cooling, compact modular systems address any operator's requirements, all while using minimal space. At the same time, Open Line Systems (OLS) and disaggregation allow the operator to choose the best, most relevant solutions for each portion of the network they are addressing. This enables the network operators to deploy multi-vendor hardware in the same network with seamless interoperability. In addition, the flexibility ensures that network operators are no longer locked into one specific vendor's technology.Flexibility has become a key deciding factor while purchasing technology in recent years. Operators desperately need a modular solution capable of many different types of applications over various portions of their network. The one-size-fits-all mentality is not viable for operators anymore, and as such, they are looking for an a la carte menu option. As the number of optical networking solution providers in the market increases, companies must carefully weigh their options and identify the solution provider that best fulfills their needs.In this edition of network infrastructure magazine, we bring you the story of some of the most successful optical networking solutions providers.
