Zayo Group has successfully completed what is believed to be the world’s longest known terrestrial 800G optical wavelength in a commercial network, at 1,044.51km.
The Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) conference and exhibition took place from 6-10 March. Here is a roundup of just some of the technology and product announcements, demonstrations and industry news from the event.
Infinera has introduced the ICE6 Turbo, a coherent optical solution that can operate above 100GBd.

G8 Telecommunications has committed to increasing network capacity to meet the growing needs of enterprises, network operators, and government companies across Brazil.
LightCounting has released its High-Speed Ethernet Optics Report for September 2021.
Jonathan Homa takes a look at how the economic benefits of 400G optical fibre links can be unlocked
Acacia has revealed its 1.2T faceplate pluggable coherent module, which highlights an 'eighth generation' coherent interconnect module family, powered by the Jannu 5nm CMOS digital signal processor (DSP) ASIC.
Crosslake Fibre is using coherent optical technology and advanced analytics apps to build a new seamless submarine cable and terrestrial GeoMesh Extreme network between the data hubs of Slough, UK, and Paris, France.
Since its emergence in the late 2000s, coherent technology has undergone several transitions. First it went from 40G to 100G, then from hard-decision forward error correction (FEC) to soft-decision FEC, and finally from single-rate interfaces to flexible-rate interfaces with additional modulation schemes such as 8QAM (150 Gb/s) and 16QAM (200 Gb/s).
