Building on the worldwide output of its 10 Gbps optical networking equipment, Nortel Networks’ next generation optical solution will be capable of delivering massive bandwidth that is reliable, flexible and affordable. It will be able to simultaneously carry over a single fiber pair more than 5,000 Gigabit Ethernet connections, or one million DVD movies streamed in real time over the Internet.
Our experience with 10 Gbps globally has provided us with invaluable knowledge for the journey to 40 and 80 Gbps. It is enabling us to aggressively address the real world challenges of large-scale deployment in an environment where cost, agility and enabling new services are vital, said Greg Mumford, president, Optical Internet, Nortel Networks.
