Alcatel-Lucent sets data rate records

Alcatel-Lucent has published a press release in which it claims that it has achieved a new record for speed and distance to transfer data. According to Alcatel-Lucent, the company's specialists managed to achieve a speed of 12.8 terabits per second at a distance of 2550 kilometers. And for a single optical channel. This result is the fruit of using numerous innovations. In particular, "multi-level optical modulation, coherent detection, efficient processing of an electrical signal," etc.

Another Alcatel-Lucent achievement is data transmission at a speed of 8 terabits per second for 520 kilometers using Wavelength-Division Multiplexed (WDM) technology, which is based on the use of light waves of various lengths.

According to the company's management, these achievements show that the creation of low-cost 100-gigabit optical networks is just around the corner.
