The optical fibre, which has 19 cores and a standard cladding diameter could enable a transmission capacity of 1.7Pb/s in subsea communications networks.
The testing showcased multiple optical transmission demonstrations and the role that coherent optical technology can play in helping network operators in Japan keep pace with bandwidth growth.
A record number of companies demonstrated interoperability in 400ZR; co-packaging architectures, CEI-112G & CEI-224G and common management interface specification (CMIS) implementations.

The University of L’Aquila in Italy is working with Optoscribe and Sumitomo Electric Industries
Optoscribe and Sumitomo Electric Industries have teamed up with the University of L’Aquila, Italy for an experimental research project to help strengthen the telecommunications infrastructure of the city.
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) and six partners have established a new world record of 118.5Tb/s for the largest transmission capacity achieved over an optical fibre of standard dimensions.
Though the optical fibre had the same diameter as standard singlemode fibre, its structure was not standard. The design contained four cores (light paths) running along the fibre’s length.
