Optical networks are becoming more complex to design and operate. In this voiceover animation, the IOWN Global Forum introduces the Optical Network Digital Twin and its role in improving how optical networks are designed, deployed, and managed.

The Optical Network Digital Twin enables more flexible and efficient network planning by modeling optical systems and supporting interoperability across multiple vendors and generations of equipment. This approach helps simplify network operations while improving scalability, performance, and reliability. Learn how the IOWN Global Forum and its Members are advancing open and interoperable optical networking through new approaches to network design and management.
