100Gbps transmission trial completed by Telefonica and Huawei

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Spanish telecoms giant Telefonica along with Chinese vendor Huawei completed a field trial of 100Gbps transmissions over a distance of more than 1,000km. A high speed 100Gbps link between Valladolid and Zaragoza stretching for approximately 1,022km has been constructed by Huawei, under the trial without using electrical regeneration.

The trial was based on Huawei’s OSN 6800 WDM/OTN transport platform with the transponder inserted in subracks, and the fibre type used was standard G.652. According to Christian Chua, president of Huawei’s Transport Network Product Line, 100Gbps is the most advanced transport technology and is crucial to operators’ continuous development and the construction of green ultra broadband networks.
