Telefónica reaches a data transmission speed of 400 Gbps
-
Engineers at Telefónica Spain have managed to transmit data over fiber optics at the stratospheric speed of 400 Gbps, a mark that has been achieved using the networks that the company currently offers to its customers.
The Spanish company used Ericsson's MHL 3000 optical multiplexing DWDM systems to complete its experiment.
These are equipment that are already part of their network, which has shown that the infrastructures of César Alierta's company can support very high speed traffic.
The tests were carried out between November 21 and January 4 and successfully covered a total distance of 280 kilometers, in the regions of Jaén and Granada.
The truth is that this is not the first experiment of this kind that Telefónica has carried out, since in 2009 they managed to transmit data between Madrid and Seville at a speed of 100 Gbps.
Now, after the success of these latest tests that have managed to quadruple that speed, the company has confirmed that it could start to commercialize that ultra-fast data service from 2013.
