CORNING, N.Y./MUNICH, Germany -- Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) and Siemens Information and Communication Networks today announced plans to demonstrate a 40 Gb/s transmission system that provides four times the capacity per channel of today's most advanced commercially available networks. The demonstration will show the next level of time-division multiplexed (TDM) SONET/SDH signals and DWDM transmission and highlights the optical fiber and photonic components necessary to achieve an error-free and reliable N x 40 Gb/s data rate.

"We are working together to move advanced 40Gb/s technology out of the research laboratories and into the market as a robust and reliable product offering," said Dr. Hans-Joachim Grallert, Senior Vice-President Development, Optical Networks at Siemens Transport Networks. "Through this effort, we are one step closer to accommodating the rapidly increasing bandwidth and traffic demands of today's communication market."
