FREMONT, Calif. -- Opnext, Inc. (NASDAQ:OPXT - News), a global leader in high speed optical communications technology, today announced that it has demonstrated a single wavelength, real-time coherent 127G PM-QPSK (Polarization Multiplexed Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) modem on the TeliaSonera network running through Sweden. The TeliaSonera trial represents the first real-time, single wavelength 100G field trial in Europe.

The trial conducted over a long haul link with 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps mixed traffic ran from Uppsala, Sweden to Olofström, Sweden and back for a total distance of 1700km and represents the longest un-regenerated real-time test to date.
