  • What is the latency of an optical transport network

    What is the latency of an optical transport network

    In optical networks, latency refers to the time it takes for data to travel from one point to another through the fiber infrastructure. It is usually measured in milliseconds (ms) and represents the propagation delay caused by the physical distance, the properties of the transmission medium. Latency is a critical factor in optical networks, especially as we increasingly rely on real-time applications that demand quick and efficient data transmission. This creates an optical virtual private network for each client signal.
