Riding on cutting-edge technologies such as flex oDSP, super SD-FEC, and flex modulation format, this field trial achieved a record-breaking transmission distance of 1, 500 km using a super-channel PDM-16QAM-based high spectral efficiency solution, and a second record-breaking transmission distance of 3, 325 km using a super-channel Nyquist PDM-QPSK-based ultra-long-haul solution.
With the arrival of mobile as a serious and fast growing new channel, a new, very specific type of solution was needed to manage payments for merchants.
