Nortel is introducing the industry's first optical technology that can deliver both 40G and 100G network capacity, enabling four times the network throughput immediately while providing the foundation to simply and affordably increase capacity tenfold as required. This innovative capability equips carriers to keep pace with dramatically increasing demand from bandwidth-sapping applications like IPTV, Internet video, HD programming and mobile video phones. Nortel's 40G/100G Adaptive Optical Engine is a revolutionary technology platform that enables both 40G and 100G transmission with the same ease and simplicity of today's 10G networks. Nortel's technology enhancements allow fibre-optic cables, thinner than a human hair, to carry vast amounts of information globally. The current state-of-the-art networking speed is 10G (Gigabits per second), which can support the bandwidth of 1000 HDTV channels simultaneously. By increasing that capacity to 40G, carriers can transmit four times the traffic over the same link and 10 times the traffic when evolving to 100G.
Danish communications solution provider TDC recently selected Nortel's 40G/100G Adaptive Optical Engine for its European network and Neos Networks, a leading service provider in the
U.K., is deploying the Nortel 40G/100G Adaptive Optical Engine solution to provide bandwidth-on-demand to their customers.
