Open Line System definition
Open Line System. (“OLS”) means the equipment needed to pass optical light across OSU fiber segments, including integrated line amplifiers (“ILAs”) and Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (“ROADMs”), or other Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (“MUX/DEMUX”) equipment that combines or splits a common signal from or to discrete channels. Open refers to this line system supporting third-party transponders and being capable of accepting injection of alien optical wavelengths (i.e., from distinct and separately managed optical systems), as well as having an open software application programming interface (“API”).
Examples of Open Line System in a sentence
As depicted in Figure 12, we consider the use of the TAPI Driver to interact with an Open Line System (OLS) Controllers in charge of managing underlying optical transport networks.
