Abstract : The evolution of telecommunications has seen significant milestones, notably the shift from Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) to Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM). This transition marks a pivotal advancement in the performance of Information Technology (IT) networks, offering unparalleled improvements in bandwidth, scalability, and efficiency. DWDM technology enables the simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams across a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths of light, significantly enhancing data throughput and network capacity. This article delves into the technical foundations of DWDM, compares its performance enhancements over SDH systems, and explores its impact on modern IT network infrastructure.
