Research & Development

The extended partnership will create 15 new PhD student and post-doctoral researcher employment opportunities at Nokia Bell Labs and Inria.

The trial demonstrated operation of Nokia’s PSE-Vs chipset, transmitting a 600Gb/s channel in the C-band and a 400Gb/s channel in the L-band on Globe’s live optical network.

The team’s method uses a single laser and an optical chip.

The ultra-high-speed optical signal transmission was achieved over 100km of standard single-mode fibre.

The fibre could be used to speed-up broadband delivery, improve medical imaging or even make solar powered clothing.

Scientists from the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and Max-Planck-Gesellschaft are working together on processes for manufacturing preforms for hollow-structure fibres with new geometrical shapes.

The University of Glasgow has received a grant worth £2.6m towards the build of a new facility to test 6G communications systems.

Researchers at the CSC – IT Center for Science have transported 800Gb/s over 2,000km on a live network.
