"DWDM is stated by Bell Labs - Lucent Technologies to be "a technology that uses multiple wavelengths or colors of light to transmit information on a single strand of optical fiber." (Bell-Labs - Lucent Technologies, 1999) Stated as well is that "The researchers have succeeded in adding DWDM compatible optics to the prototype GigaChannel Ethernet multiplexer shown at the Networld+Interop conference in May and demonstrated the enhanced experimental system at the National Fiber Optics Engineers Conference (NFOEC ) last week." (Bell-Labs - Lucent Technologies, 1999) However as the point-to-point connections become more and more affordable the use of the DWDM technology is seeing a decrease. "
