<p>An arrangement is provided for switching and routing large bandwidth continuous information from a consolidated information distribution center (CIDC). The CIDC generates an optical signal encoded with information of multiple channels carried by one or more dedicated optical carriers and sends the optical signal to a plurality of head ends via an optical fiber. When a head end receives the optical signal, it decodes the optical signal to obtain information intended for the head end from at least one optical carrier that is dedicated to carry the information desired by the head end.</p> |
