Huawei and Vodafone announced the successful trial of 2 Tbit/s optical fiber transmission technologies on Vodafones live network. The field trial achieved 2 Tbit/s transmission capabilities of over 3,325 km. This provides a data highway capacity 20-times higher than current commercially deployed 100Gbit/s systems and has a speed equivalent to downloading 40 HD videos in one second. This marks an important step forward for optical transport technology advances beyond 100G
