XKL on middle mile

Broadband Pulse

Since no two service providers are the same, nor should their DWDM solutions be, XKL has taken a consultative approach that considers every service provider's network expansion and upgrade needs and collaborates to design the ideal optical DWDM solution. The company has developed a “set and forget” DWDM solution.

During this episode we talked to two key optical networking experts:

Chad Lamb, Chief Systems Architect for XKL

And

Darren Yuet, Marketing Manager for XKL
