Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier, an
international wholesale unit of Deutsche
Telekom, recently turned up the first
European 800G network, connecting its data
centres in Vienna, Austria. The technology,
provided in cooperation with Ciena, will
satisfy customers’ demands for higher
speeds and efficiency, which are especially
important for applications such as IoT, cloud
computing and video.
Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier welcomes
Ciena’s WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e)
to satisfy surging traffic requirements
across its pan-European network. 800Gb/s
transmission was successfully implemented
between data centres in Austria and
validated for stability and error rates in a live
environment. The technology innovation,
which is based on higher spectrum efficiency,
will allow Deutsche Telekom to transport
eight 100G of data traffic in less than
100Ghz of spectrum and is optimised for
high capacity 100GE and 400GE customer
interface connectivity. It is the industry’s
first solution that can transport 2x400GE
across a single 800G wavelength. This next
technology step supports the extension
of the highly efficient Deutsche Telekom
network by further reducing shelf demand
and power consumption for deployments in
public telehouse exchange points.
“We pride ourselves on always being a step
ahead and this move will push us over the
threshold. It will help us achieve a significant
industry milestone by delivering the first
800G network in Europe,” said Rolf Nafziger,
Senior Vice President, Deutsche Telekom
Global Carrier.
