Fujitsu 1FINITY T900 trial reduces cost per bit and energy consumption
Fujitsu and Orange have completed a successful lab trial of Fujitsu's 1FINITY T900 optical transport solution at 800 Gbps. The trial focused on reducing cost per bit and energy consumption for more sustainable networking.
Fujitsu Limited announced that global communications service provider Orange S.A. has completed a successful lab evaluation of the Fujitsu 1FINITY T900 optical transport solution. The evaluation demonstrated 800 Gigabits per second (Gbps) data transmission over long distances with low power consumption, enabling affordable and sustainable optical transport.
Network operators face escalating data demands and rising costs, aiming to transport more traffic at a lower cost per bit. Simultaneously, there is a push to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints.
During the trial at Orange's Innovation Labs in Lannion, France, the Fujitsu 1FINITY T900 transponder maintained low and constant power consumption across all transmission rates. The solution achieved a transport distance of at least 1600 km at 800 Gbps with power consumption below 150 Watts. This energy efficiency is enabled by Fujitsu's closed-loop liquid cooling technology.
Orange noted the trial demonstrates potential for longer long-haul transport distances and increased capacity without growing power consumption. Fujitsu plans to establish a new company, 1FINITY Inc., to consolidate its network business and accelerate the delivery of optical and wireless solutions globally.
