Reconfigurable add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) technology continues to evolve. Though existing components were deemed sufficient for deployment in optical networks, system vendors and carriers requested colorless and directionless capability for added flexibility in responding to future changes in traffic patterns. Now, just as the required optical components are coming to market, carriers have added contentionless to the wish list. Looking even further ahead, discussions on gridless functionality to maximize fiber capacity have recently begun.
