Windstream Wholesale Sets 400G ZR+ Record with Acacia Coherent Pluggable Module Reaching over 1,000 km in Live Network

摘要

Windstream Wholesale, a leading provider of advanced optical solutions, announced the completion of a live network trial that successfully deployed 400 gigabits per second single-wavelength transmission over 1,027 kilometers across Windstream's long-haul network between Phoenix and Los Angeles. The trial set an industry-leading real-world benchmark of 400G using Acacia Communications' digital coherent optics technology. These compact, low-power, industry-compliant 400G pluggable modules represent the next evolution in driving high-capacity optical connections to the network edge to deliver ultra-fast speeds to more end-users than ever before. In addition to the industry-leading real-world performance at 400G, Windstream set another industry record by looping back the signal to achieve 300G transmission over 2,054 kilometers using Acacia pluggables.
