Nokia, Telekom Serbia and MTEL test a 600Gbps optical network over 600km
The mission to pipe generous quantities of data through the network utilized Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch powered by a PSE-Vs chipset, and the whole endeavour was undertaken in order to lay ‘the foundation for future growth to meet the needs of low latency, high-capacity traffic demands enabling the transport of 100GE and 400GE services,’ we’re told.
The 600km path consisted of 6 spans, through C-F ROADM nodes. By operating over spectrally efficient 100GHz WDM channels, Telekom Serbia and MTEL will be able to keep things efficient while lowering network TCO, they say.
“We are proud of our ongoing partnership with Telekom Serbia and support the group in executing its strategy of maintaining market leadership in telecommunication services and content in Balkan region,” Nicolas Almendro, VP, Europe Nokia Optical Networks.
CTO, Telekom Serbia, Djordje Marovic, CTO M-Tel Milan Aleksijevic added: “We are continuing to invest into the latest WDM technology to serve our customers with more demanding traffic growth, low latency requirements and agility for their traffic patterns.” Read More…
