Ciena and Arelion achieve 1.6 Tb/s optical transmission milestone
Ciena's WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) is the optical networking technology that enabled the new speed record in carrier data networking transport.
This strategic path links two critical locations in the telco service provider’s North American network, showcasing the potential for increased capacity in high-demand areas. “WaveLogic 6 Extreme provides single carrier 1.6Tb/s wavelength transmission,” Helen Xenos, senior director, portfolio marketing at Ciena, told Network World. “WL6e transceivers can accept a mix of 100GE/200GE/400GE/800GE/OTUCn on the client side and carry it across long distances over an optical network at speeds up to 1.6Tb/s per wavelength,” Xenos said.
