Live trial achieves the
highest transmission rate across GlobalConnect Group’s GO-COLOR
terrestrial network, supporting high-capacity data center interconnect
services across the Nordics

Nokia announced the successful completion
of a network
trial with GlobalConnect using the Nokia PSE-V fifth
generation super coherent optics (PSE-Vs). The trial
demonstrated 600G transmission over a live long-haul network
link of GlobalConnect Group’s GO-COLOR network. This trial validates GlobalConnect’s ability to increase
its optical network capacity in support of high-capacity data center
interconnect services across the Nordics.    

With this field trial, performed in real-world conditions, GlobalConnect
has successfully validated a planned upgrade of its long-haul backbone networks
using the PSE-Vs super coherent optics productized in Nokia’s 1830 PSI-M
optical transport system. By scaling network capacity over its existing ROADM
network, GlobalConnect will be able to flexibly deliver high-bandwidth data
center interconnect services across its backbone network.

Anders Kuhn-Saaby, CTO, GlobalConnect Group,
said: “This trial validates GlobalConnect’s commitment to offering
scalable and flexible high-bandwidth services across our Nordic backbone
network. We are pleased to validate Nokia’s latest generation of PSE-V super
coherent optics as an important enabler of these continuous network upgrades,
seamlessly operating over our live network with existing coherent
channels.”  

James Watt, Head of Optical Networks Division, Nokia, said: “We are
delighted to work with GlobalConnect to support continued capacity evolution of
its core networks. With the introduction of the PSE-Vs super coherent
capabilities across our entire 1830 portfolio, Nokia enables
spectrally-efficient network capacity upgrades over real-world long-haul
networks.”

In the trial, Nokia demonstrated error-free performance over a 781km
ring 11 fiber spans and through six ROADMs nodes with Colorless Directionless
Connectionless and Flexgrid technology (CDC-F). By operating over spectrally
efficient 100GHz WDM channels, GlobalConnect will be able to scale total
network capacity 28,8T over the C+ band.
