A view on deployment of the first and largest transparent optical network in the U.S. by Verizon, Lucent Worldwide Services (LWS), and Bell Laboratories is provided. The LambdaXtreme Transport System deployment is the first optically transparent network capable of carrying 10 Gb and 40 Gb traffic, and most notably the first network to be deployed that is amplified exclusively by Raman pumping of the transmission fiber.
