ATM Technology and Fiber Optic Communication
Wireless ATM, or mobile ATM, consists of an ATM core network with a wireless access network. The ATM transceivers provide highly reliable logic-to-light, serial data transmission over single-mode fiber using 1300 nm MQW (Multi-Quantum Well) laser diode (FP) and 1300nm InGaAs PIN photodiodes. ATM stands for Asynchronous Transfer Mode, is a high-speed, broadband transmission data communication technology based on packet switching, which is used by telcos, long distance carriers, and campus-wide backbone networks to carry integrated data, voice, and video information. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a telecommunications standard defined by the American National Standards Institute and International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T, formerly CCITT) for digital transmission of multiple types of traffic. ATM for broadband networks presents some issues which result appealing for an optical approach. It is connection-oriented, meaning a virtual circuit must be established before data transfer begins. ATM is a high-performance technology that provides bandwidth on-demand for seamless transport of full-motion video, audio, data, animations, and still images in local and wider area environments.
