Verizon Completes Field Trial of Optical Network Transmission
Posted on: Monday, 19 November 2007, 15:00 CST
Verizon, a communications services provider, has successfully concluded the field test of 100 gigabits per second optical transmission, on a live, in-service 312-mile network route between Tampa, Florida and Miami.
The test, which utilized a live video feed from Verizon's national FiOS TV network as the 'payload,' was successfully completed. The 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) transmission was conducted on a Verizon Business ultra long-haul optical system carrying other live traffic at 10 Gbps. The test demonstrated that by deploying advanced electronics, an existing network system can easily and quickly be upgraded to 100Gbps.
Mark Wegleitner, senior vice president for technology at Verizon, said: "This is another critical milestone on our way to ensuring that we have the most advanced telecom network technology at the right time, in the right place, to serve our customers. Whether it's a large-business customer or a consumer using our voice, data or video products, we are harnessing the best technology available to make sure our customers have access to the most advanced, reliable telecommunications services in the country."
