Multiwavelength optical networking (MONET), is a method for communicating digital information usinglasers overoptical fiber. The method provides the next level of communication networks afterSONET optical networks. MONET optical networks provide an even greaterbandwidth capacity. This new method employswavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology for transporting large amounts of telephone and data traffic and allow for interoperability between equipment from different vendors.
