dedicated wavelengths
The PON (Passive Optical Network over wavelengths) Express 16 is the first transport platform
to use a Passive Optical Network (PON) architecture to break the access bottleneck. Using Dense 
Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM), the PON Express 16 provides cost-effective access to 
business parks, campuses, and multi-dwelling unit/multi-tenant units over a shared network 
infrastructure without sacrificing security or limiting bandwidth. Up to 16 customers can be 
simultaneously connected with each having up to 1Gbps dedicated, symmetrical bandwidth. 
Operationally, each Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is “colorless” which eliminates the sparing 
issue that plagues traditional DWDM systems and provides “plug-n-play” system provisioning. 
The PON Express 16 is integrated into other ADC products such as the OmniReach
