Finnish network firm Nokia and the Zayo Group<\/a>, which runs a large global metro and long-haul fibre optic network, today claims to have set a new North American distance record for fibre optic data transmission on a live network by using a single wavelength to reach speeds of 1 Terabits per second (1Tbps) over a distance of 1004km.<\/p>\n

The feat reflects the successful completion of a live field trial on the LA to Phoenix route (over 1004km via 150GHz channels), which involved Nokia\u2019s latest 6th generation Photonic Service Engine super-coherent optics (PSE-6s). The companies separately achieved a North American transmission record of 800Gbps (Gigabits) over a single wavelength from LA to El Paso on a 1,866km link, also using the Nokia PSE-6s.<\/p>\n

Zayo continues to invest in the capacity, capability, and sustainability of its optical network to support transport of new 400GE and 800GE services. But the trial also demonstrates the ability of Nokia\u2019s optical technologies to support all three of these areas by increasing spectral\/bandwidth efficiency, reducing the number of coherent optics required, and lowering network power consumption.<\/p>\n

Aaron Werley, Vice President of Technology at Zayo, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a technology leader, Zayo remains at the forefront of network connectivity. We continuously invest in our cutting-edge infrastructure to ensure a future-ready network. The infrastructure projects we have, and continue to complete to advance connectivity between key cities involves the deployment of new 800G and higher-speed routes. Nokia’s PSE-6s coherent technology allows Zayo to offer ever-increasing commercial Wavelength speeds, including enabling our industry-first Waves on Demand offering, so when customers demand innovative, higher-bandwidth solutions, the capacity is there for them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

James Watt, Head of Optical at Nokia, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNokia is very pleased with the performance of the PSE-6s in the trial and its ability to enable 800G everywhere and deliver 1T between key cities over long spans at over 1000km. We are delighted to partner with Zayo on this achievement in preparation for growing network demand. With the PSE-6s, the Nokia optical portfolio pushes the limits of super-coherent performance to deliver massive network scale and service reach while ensuring more sustainable growth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
