Fast, high capacity fiber transmission gets real for data centers

A cutting edge, "off-line" signal transmission mechanism, experimentally demonstrated just a few years ago, is now on-line as a real-time bidirectional transmission system. At OFC 2018, the single-most important annual event ...

Researchers achieve fastest real-world fiber speeds of 1.4Tb/s

Alcatel-Lucent and BT have today announced trial speeds of up to 1.4Tb/s with a record spectral efficiency of 5.7 bits per second per Hertz (b/s/Hz)on an existing core fiber connection. This is believed to be the fastest ...

New distance record for 400 Gb/s data transmission

As network carriers debate the next Ethernet standard—and whether transmission speeds of 400 gigabit per second or 1 terabit per second should be the norm—engineers are working on new measures to squeeze next-generation ...

First ADC device in family of 28nm CMOS converter solutions

Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe, a market-leading provider of high-speed data converters, has enabled the large-scale deployment of single-wavelength 100Gbps optical transport systems worldwide. Fujitsu's expertise in mixed-signal, ...

World's first 2 tbit/s WDM field trial

Huawei and Vodafone announced the successful trial of 2 Tbit/s optical fiber transmission technologies on Vodafone's live network. The field trial achieved 2 Tbit/s transmission capabilities of over 3,325km. This provides ...
