Nokia and Orange Poland set new capacity-distance record
Orange and Nokia have achieved what they claim is a new optical transmission record for 250Gb/s per wavelength, sending a 1.5Tb/s super-channel over a distance of 870km across Orange Poland's existing network infrastructure.
These results represent a 250 per cent increase in capacity per wavelength compared to mainstream 100Gb/s optical systems, using the same amount of spectrum while also gaining a 70 per cent distance improvement over comparable field trials.
