Verizon has successfully concluded the industry`s first field test of 100Gbps optical transmission, on a live, in-service 504km network route between Tampa and Miami, says CNN Money.
The test, which utilised a live video feed from Verizon`s national FiOS TV network as the "payload", was successfully completed on 16 November.
The 100Gbps transmission was conducted on a Verizon Business ultra long-haul optical system carrying other live traffic at 10Gbps. The test demonstrated that by deploying advanced electronics, an existing network system can easily and quickly be upgraded to 100Gbps.
