Design Considerations for Long-Haul Lightwave Systems

The following design considerations for long-haul lightwave systems are reviewed: outage and error rate requirements, terminal architecture, regenerator span design and performance specification, capacity upgrade alternatives, and broad-gauge economic factors.
