Infinera Breaks Industry Record with 800G Transmission over 950 Kilometers in a Live Network Trial
March 17 2020 - 8:00AM
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) announced today the successful completion
of a live network trial of 800 gigabits per second (800G)
single-wavelength transmission at 96 Gbaud over 950 kilometers (km)
across a long-haul link in a major North American network
operator’s production network. Powered by Infinera’s
sixth-generation dual-800G Infinite Capacity Engine (ICE6)
technology, this achievement signals a major industry milestone in
driving down the cost per bit of telecommunications networks. The
trial showcased the ability of Infinera’s 800G technology designed
to enable network operators to rapidly and cost-effectively address
the increasing capacity demands of new services such as 5G,
enhanced broadband, and cloud-based business services.
Conducted over a third-party optical line system carrying live
multi-vendor traffic, the production network trial was implemented
using Infinera’s industry-leading Groove (GX) Series, equipped with
an ICE6-based sled over industry-standard G.652 fiber. The results
of the trial demonstrated the superior performance value of
Infinera’s vertically integrated ICE6 optical engine, which
features second-generation Nyquist subcarriers, 64QAM with
per-subcarrier long-codeword probabilistic constellation shaping,
and per-subcarrier dynamic bandwidth allocation.
“The success of this trial proves our ability to transmit 800G
high-baud-rate signals across significant distances, which will be
instrumental in driving down network costs,” said Parthi Kandappan,
Chief Technology Officer at Infinera. “This marks another major
accomplishment for Infinera’s Optical Innovation Center, adding to
its long history of pioneering innovations in optical
networking.”
