Verizon Keeps 100-Gig Promise

re: Verizon Keeps 100-Gig Promise I would also like clarification on this. Is this a coherent stream.. that is, even if it is multiple 10's or 25's, are they put together as one coherent stream at the other end? Or is this just aggregated DWDM?

So this is 100G serial, right? or is this article about 10x10G? Kudos for the former, yawn if the latter.

re: Verizon Keeps 100-Gig Promise This will be keynote in Pat's next earnings announcement, right after she updates shareholders on its ongoing earnings disappointment. But at least it will keep the former Lucent Optical R&D team around instead of being completely optimized by the former Alcatel team. Should extend the (more needed and necessary) R&D realignment by another 3-4 quarters.

re: Verizon Keeps 100-Gig Promise The test was of a single 100-Gbit/s wavelength carrying IP video that was sent over Verizon Business's existing 10-Gbit/s fiber plant. According to Tom Goodwin of Alcatel-Lucent, they were able to do this by using DQPSK and "tweaking it to get [100-Gig] all on one wavelength."

Bell Labs has been very active in pushing 100G in research papers and various hero experiments, but this is the first trial on a live network. The technology used is probably similar to that explained in the tests Bell Labs demonstrated at ECOC and OFC earlier this year:
