Nokia and GlobalConnect demonstrate 600G transmission using PSE-V super coherent optics
Live trial achieves the highest transmission rate across GlobalConnect Group’s GO-COLOR terrestrial network, supporting high-capacity data center interconnect services across the Nordics Nokia today announced the successful completion of a network trial with GlobalConnect using the Nokia PSE-V fifth generation super coherent optics (PSE-Vs). The trial demonstrated 600G transmission over a live long-haul network link of GlobalConnect Group’s GO-COLOR network. This trial validates GlobalConnect’s ability to increase its optical network capacity in support of high-capacity data center interconnect services across the Nordics. With this field trial, performed in real-world conditions, GlobalConnect has successfully validated a planned upgrade of its long-haul backbone networks using the PSE-Vs super coherent optics productized in Nokia’s 1830 PSI-M optical transport system. By scaling network capacity over its existing ROADM network, GlobalConnect will be able to flexibly deliver high-bandwidth data…
