The field trials saw 2.5 times more capacity than the traditional optical transmission technology.
The multiple field trials were conducted over a 5,500-kilometer (3,418-mile) submarine cable between New York and Ireland.
However, the tests increased capacity from 13 to over 17 Tb/s using commercially available hardware.
We are thrilled to partner with Facebook to promote our common commitment to accelerating innovation in optical transmission.
