Abstract
The telecommunications optical network layer has many definitions and many different applications. The Sprint optical network definition continues to evolve with the technology and customer demands. New technology advances and progress in standards are opening a window into a vastly enhanced optical layer. Optical networking may soon be possible and practical for a long distance network spanning the size of the United States. Sprint is studying the options for the optical layer and its boundaries. This paper discusses some of the attributes of a future Sprint optical network.
