DWDM not simply Dumb Fat Pipe
Integrated ROADM + OTN network elements support flexible channel grid spacing and colourless MxN WSS allowing any Client-Side OTN transponder to connect to any wavelength within any WDM degree
Provides scalable optical bypass and dynamic restoration within the core
Dark fiber assets (now classified as real estate) must be conditioned for tighter link tolerances
7. Orange presentation
Mitigating Optical Impairments at Higher Data Rate
Spectrally-efficient modulation techniques, coherent receiver design and Forward Error Correction (FEC) provide cost-effective solutions to improve noise tolerance
Lowers sensitivity to dispersion impairments towards the same degree as encountered with 10Gb/s
Allows for effective equalization strategies

For Single Raman Amplified Span [3, 6]
The target transmission benchmark for 100G DWDM channels should be specified at OSNR of 21.5 to 22.0 dB with better than 10-13 to 10-15 BER performance

Mid-Section Long-Term BER Testing
Daisy-chaining the DWDM channels under test increases the number of bits generated by the number of spans traversed and the number of paths end-end
