^1 WDM stands for wavelength division multiplexing, and is an optical
technique to allow more than one optical signal to be communicated through a
fiber optic cable. DWDM stands for Dense WDM and is a technique to space
optical signals close together for high levels of optical signals to be
communicated through a fiber optic cable. Examples of WDM are 4 channels at
25Gbps totaling 100Gbps where 4 optical signals with 25Gbps data-rates are
multiplexed to aggregate 100Gbps.
