ZTE hits record single-carrier signal transmission speeds

ZTE has announced what it describes as a new world record in 400G single-carrier signal transmission. In a statement, the company announced the successful transmission of single-carrier PM-256QAM signals at 34-Gbaud over a distance of 80km SSMF, adding that the trial confirmed that constellation-shaping technology can greatly enhance 400G 256QAM transport performance. The experiment was recognised as a ‘Highly Scored Paper’ at the National Fibre Optic Engineers Conference (OFC), said ZTE.

The demonstration was carried out by the company’s Optics Labs in North America, which has proposed a number of key technologies for 100G and beyond 100G devices and has become a recognised “Acceleration Engine” in developing global high-speed optical communications transport technologies.
