The companies Fujitsu, NEC, and Anritsu say managed to to their 100Gbps-fiber optic devices, successful mutually to communicate. This should enable interoperability with such network devices come closer.
When the tests were experimental 100Gbps-fiberinterfaces from NEC and Fujitsu linked to fiber optic devices of other companies that comply with the Optical Transport Network standard. This standard, in 2010 by ITU-T is captured, describes how fiberinterfaces need to communicate with others. The company Anritsu supplied the equipment.
According to the three companies, it is during the ” ethernet over OTN technology-project succeeded to ethernet traffic without any loss in speed with 100Gbps between various interfaces to send. It would, according to the participants of the project the first time that interoperability according to the OTN standard is, in practice, is demonstrated.
The 100Gbps standard is 2.5 to 10 times faster than the fiberverbindingen of, respectively, 40 and 10 gbps that are now in use. The test project must demonstrate that fiberapparaten of various brands easily can communicate with each other, so that telecom companies guaranteed can exchange data.
