Nokia has taken the wraps off its fifth-generation IP routing silicon. Appropriately called the FP5, the silicon is designed to support 800 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interfaces as well as improved security through flow-based encryption, while offering a 75% reduction in power and a new embedded line rate.The FP5 will enable Nokia service router platforms to support high-density 800GbE and 1.6-Tbps clear channel routing interfaces. (The company has already conducted terabit clear channel tests based on the previous FP4 chipset; see “Nokia, Vodafone Turkey trial intercontinental 1-Tbps clear-channe...

Nokia says it partnered with Vodafone Turkey to demonstrate a 1-Tbps per channel coherent transmission over the latter’s live fiber network. The demonstration suggests the ability to increase network capacity to 70 Tbps per fiber.The 1-Tbps was transmitted across 130-GHz bandwidth without errors on Vodafone Turkey’s in-service optical network between data centers. The route benefited from Nokia’s wavelength routing technology, including a non-blocking CDC-F ROADM optical switch architecture and support of C+L band transmission. Equipment used included the 1830 PSI-M (Photonic Service Interconn...
