📋 Tender Overview
Nokia announced it has broken two optical transport records in real-world field trials on GlobalConnects live optical network in Europe. The demonstration used Nokias sixth generation super-coherent Photonic Service Engine PSE-6s to achieve 1.2 Tbs over metro distances 118km and 800 Gbs over long haul distances 2019 km both using a single wavelength.The 1.2 Tbs speed was using Nokias PSE-6s optics deployed over a wavelength division multiplexing WDM network using 150 GHz of spectrum on GlobalConnects Metro Data Center Interconnect links. Data center interconnection was also demonstrated at 800 Gbs on a single wavelength over 2000km paving the way to single-wavelength 800GE transport across long-haul distances with no regeneration. Reducing the number of coherent interfaces needed enables up to 50 network total cost of ownership savings and up to a 60 reduction in network power consumption.GlobalConnect operates the largest interconnected fiber network in Northern-Europe with more than 150000 km of trenched fiber. Referred to as the gateway to the Nordics the backbone connects to local networks and data centers in Denmark Norway Sweden Finland Nedherland and Germany. The GlobalConnect network provides dedicated point-to-point fiber inter-connection between data centers across a wide range of distances.
