Overview of multiwavelength optical networking (MONET) program

The multiwavelength optical networking (MONET) program was established to define, demonstrate, and help drive commercial technology toward a national scale WDM network that serves both commercial and specialized government communications applications. The program includes WDM technology, WDM network element design and prototype fabrication, WDM network architecture studies, WDM network management software and WDM network testbed demonstration efforts.
