What Does WDM Stand For?
WDM stands for Wavelength Division Multiplexing
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that enables the transmission of multiple data streams over a single optical fiber by utilizing different wavelengths (or channels) of laser light. This approach enhances the capacity and efficiency of fiber optic communication systems, allowing for increased data transmission rates and improved bandwidth utilization. WDM is widely used in telecommunications, data center interconnects, and long-haul network infrastructures.
