Ericsson sets another industry milestone with 1Tbps optical transport

Ericsson will underline its leadership in optical technology with a demonstration of 1Tbps optical transport at OFC/NFOEC in Los Angeles, California. This achievement is a result of Ericsson’s continued investment in optical research and innovation, in partnership with the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies and CNIT, Italy’s national consortium for telecommunications. Ericsson demonstrated 400Gbps transmission in early 2011 and has recently deployed that technology in a field trial using Telefónica’s existing network in Spain.
