Sprint completed its testing of the first direct transatlantic link
Recently it was reported that the company Sprint, a famous American operator, completed the test the first foreign transatlantic links with transmission speeds of 40 Gb / s protocol for Internet Protocol (IP) with a fixed wavelength-based interfaces OC768/STM256. The new channel connecting New York and Lulea (a city in northern Sweden). The total length of fiber more than 9 thousand kilometers. It comprises a transatlantic submarine cable system TAT-14 long 7630 km (connects the town of Si-Gert, New Jersey, and Blaberg, Denmark). For the first time a successful transfer of 40-Gigabit signal OC768 with a fixed wavelength of submarine cable systems using existing technology-based wavelength multiplexing for high-density (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing, DWDM).
These tests have been made possible through the support of a consortium of cable system TAT-14, brings together about 40 international suppliers of telecommunications services, and company TeliaSonera International Carrier (ground station operator TAT-14 in Denmark). TeliaSonera International Carrier has provided transit for European terrestrial optical communications cable station TAT-14 from Stockholm, a Swedish research and academic network SUnet provided an optical line to Lulea.
As noted in the company, the explosive growth of the Internet constantly makes demands for bandwidth data, and conducted tests confirm the possibility of a more than fourfold increase in total traffic. Cable system TAT-14 is able to meet the growing demand for high-speed data transmission over the coming years. The results of the experiment confirmed the possibility of further improvement of technologies that will improve the data transfer rate of up to 100 Mbps.
