Open ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) refers to an open architecture framework for designing and implementing optical transport networks in the telecommunications industry. The Open ROADM initiative aims to standardize and open up the interfaces and functionalities of optical networking equipment, allowing for interoperability between different vendors’ products. This openness and standardization promote flexibility, innovation, and cost-effectiveness in the development and deployment of optical communication solutions.
