Fixed OADM Predefined number of channels in each node Non equal channels power levels at node output. Every node is unique waves configuration Upgrades requires additional power compensation
ROADM Any number and type of waves can be selected in any node Per channel power level equalization and monitoring All nodes have the same equipment All EDFAs are deployed at the initial stage
ROADM Advantage Network configuration Highest flexibility. Future upgrades do not disconnect the fiber. OPEX savings. Easy network design. Efficient use of Optical Amplifiers without the need for fixed attenuators Savings on spares. Easy network design. In-service network upgrades
