ORION joins forces with Alcatel-Lucent to trial 400G optical network
TORONTO, April 7, 2014 /CNW/ - The Ontario Research and Innovation Optical Network (ORION) has successfully completed the first North American field test of a high–capacity 400G live research, education and innovation (RE&I) network.
Last week's test in Ontario marks the first time a dedicated RE&I network in North America has completed a 400G trial.
The test on the ORION network was conducted with Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) between ORION's Point of Presence (PoP) on Front Street in downtown Toronto and another PoP located inside York University's campus in North York.
The results of the test demonstrate the ORION network is 400G capable, which could open up new opportunities for Ontario researchers, educators and innovators as they collaborate on local, national and international projects.
