Huawei and BT Ireland Jointly Complete Industry's First 1.2Tb/s Transmission Real-Time Trial in a Live Network

Dec 05, 2019

[Dublin, Ireland, December 5, 2019] BT Ireland and Huawei recently completed Industry's First 1.2Tb/s transmission real-time trial based on commercial product platform in a live network. This project uses Huawei-developed OptiXtreme series oDSP chips and high-performance optical transmission modules to implement ultra-high-speed interconnection between two data centers in Dublin with a record data rate of 1.2 Tb/s.

The OptiXtreme series oDSP with unique Channel-Matched Shaping (CMS) technique and AI neuron modules can sense key parameters of optical channels, and compensate for link impairments and optimize the transmission spectrum efficiency accordingly. With Huawei's unique Super-C line system, single-fiber capacity of 48 Tb/s can be achieved, which is six times as large as that of today’s common WDM systems based on 100G wavelength channels.

According to the latest statistics by OVUM, Huawei's global high-speed port shipments have been ranked No.1 in the world for over 9 years. Huawei remains committed to open collaboration and actively promotes ICT development. With the advent of 5G, Huawei will further expand network bandwidth, create greater value for customers, and build a better connected world featuring ultra-broadband, simplicity, intelligence, and ubiquitous connectivity.
