    • Verizon and Ciena have completed a fibre trial that achieved a data transfer speed of 1.6Tbps, marking a significant step forward in high-speed fibre technology.
    • This milestone could pave the way for faster and more efficient communication networks, supporting future demands in data-intensive applications and high-performance networking.

    What happened

    Verizon, in collaboration with Ciena, has completed an advanced fibre-optic trial achieving an impressive 1.6Tbps (terabits per second) data transfer rate. This trial is part of an ongoing effort to enhance network capabilities and meet the increasing demand for faster, more reliable internet. The companies leveraged cutting-edge optical technology and advanced networking solutions to test the limits of fibre bandwidth and data handling. By successfully completing this trial, Verizon and Ciena demonstrated the potential to handle massive amounts of data at unprecedented speeds, setting a new standard for fibre-optic networks.
