Flexibility in submarine fiber optic networks [invited]

Submarine networks are increasing flexibility in the undersea plant by adopting optical add-drop multiplexing technologies similar to those deployed in terrestrial networks. We will examine the different technologies, applications, and operating issues involved in implementing flexibility in submarine networks.
