Huawei, together with the telecommunications company Orange, successfully tested transmission at a speed of 157 Tbit/s. Thus, a new world record was set. To achieve this impressive figure, the company used 120 km of fiber in the Orange network in the south-west of France.
In June 2022, Huawei already released the industry’s first Super C+Super L ultra-broadband solution capable of providing 12 THz spectrum over fiber using C- and L-bands. In the same test, the total bandwidth was increased to 18 THz by using Huawei’s own S-band technology. A total of 240 wavelengths were applied using Huawei’s advanced high-order group modulation algorithm to provide a total bandwidth of 157 Tbit/c.
As expected, the new technology will make it possible to use already deployed optical fiber systems and simultaneously increase bandwidth, avoiding the costs of deploying new networks.
