Windstream Wholesale Conducts Its Own CIM 8 Trial Transporting <\/strong>1 Tbps over 1,100km<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the first coherent module on the market to break through the terabit threshold, 海角社区\u2019s 1.2T Coherent Interconnect Module 8<\/a> (CIM 8) has proven its outstanding performance with multiple record breaking field trials across a wide range of applications. The most recent was Verizon with a successful 1.2 Tbps transmission over its live commercial fiber network in metro Long Island, NY. \u00a0And on the heels of that was Windstream Wholesale with a\u00a01 Tbps wavelength over a 1,100-kilometer link across multiple routes on Windstream\u2019s Intelligent Converged Optical Network (ICON).<\/p>\n

Verizon Trial Demonstrates its Ability to Deliver Increased Speed, Reliability, and Overall Capacity
\n<\/strong>Leveraging the CIM 8\u2019s advancements in terabit optics, Verizon was able to carry 1.2 Tbps of data using a single wavelength over longer distances through more nodes. In the trial<\/a>, a 1.0 Tbps single-wavelength was transmitted over the Cisco NCS 2000 line system over 205km traversing 14 fiber central offices.\u00a0In metropolitan networks, the number of central offices traversed is a key performance metric due to the progressive filtering and signal-to-noise ratio degradation as the wavelength passes through each office. Additionally in the trial, 800 Gb\/s transmission was achieved over 305km through 20 offices and a 1.2 Tb\/s wavelength traversed three offices.<\/p>\n

\"Verizon<\/p>\n

According to Adam Koeppe, SVP of Technology Planning at Verizon, \u201cWe have bet big on fiber. Not only does it provide an award-winning broadband experience for consumers and enterprises, but it also serves as the backbone of our wireless network. As we continue to see customers using more data in more varied ways, it is critical we continue to stay ahead of our customers\u2019 demands by using the resources we have most efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cisco\u2019s Bill Gartner, SVP\/GM Cisco Optical Systems and Optics, said \u201cThis trial demonstrates our commitment to continuous innovation aimed at increasing wavelength capacity and reducing costs.\u00a0The Verizon infrastructure built with the Cisco NCS 2000 open line system supports multiple generations of optics thus protecting investments as technology evolves.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Windstream Wholesale<\/strong> Trial Highlights Superior Performance of the CIM 8<\/strong>
\nWindstream Wholesale\u2019s successful CIM 8 trial<\/a> was enabled by the Cisco NCS 1014 C-Band 2.4T WDM Transponder Line Card with the CIM 8 module.\u00a0 This transmission success showcased the high performance of the CIM 8, which was demonstrated over a third-party line system (150Ghz Channel). Following are the key wavelength transmissions that were achieved across Windstream ICON routes:<\/p>\n
