Orange and Nokia set record with 800Gbps transmission trial on 6,600km Dunant live network
The trial utilized Nokia's 6G super-coherent Photonic Service Engine (PSE-6), signaling readiness of Nokia 1830 family of optical transport platforms to carry next-gen 800GE IP services as global traffic demand soars especially on strategic trans-Atlantic route between France and U.S.
“This trial demonstrates Orange’s commitment to supporting ever-greater network scale and new high-bandwidth services across our existing global network, which combined with our subsea networks truly powers global connectivity for our customers. We are pleased to be the first operator to validate Nokia’s latest generation of super coherent optics in a subsea application as an important enabler to our constant need for network upgrades, with high spectral efficiency, sustainability and operational deployment flexibility.”
