The present invention refers to a method for transmitting high bitrate signals in an optical network comprising the steps of:
- receiving an electronic high bitrate signal comprising a variable amount of data,
- determining the amount of data in the high bitrate signal,
- distributing said amount of data among a predetermined number of lower bitrate signals, said predetermined number depending on the amount of data in the high bitrate signal,
- sending said predetermined number of lower bitrate signals to optical transmitters to convert them to optical signals,
- multiplexing said lower bitrate optical signals into a higher bitrate optical signal,
wherein unused optical transmitters are deactivated. |
