Glossary

Gives Telcordia's view of recent advances in optical communication technology which makes it possible to contemplate the economic installation of AM/Digital video laser transmitters and receivers in interoffice, loop-feeder and subscriber loop distribution single-mode fiber optic transmission systems. AM/Digital video laser transmitters and receivers are critical in determining the multi-supplier compatibility and cost-effectiveness of these fiber systems.
