Nokia completes world's first single-carrier terabit-per-second field trial, sets optical transmission capacity record over Etisalat's fibre network in UAE

 

• Trial is the world's first terabit-per-second, single-carrier data transmission over an operator deployed fibre network
• New transmission capacity record comes as Etisalat invests in core network infrastructure in anticipation of a new generation of high-bandwidth services
• Results move Nokia Bell Labs' experimental lab records of terabit-per-second single-carrier transmission to a deployed operator network

 

30 September 2019

 

Espoo, Finland - Nokia and Etisalat, one of the world's leading telecom groups in emerging markets, have set a capacity record during the world's first field trial of single-carrier terabit-per-second data transmission on a deployed fibre network.

 

A terabit-per-second is enough bandwidth to download the entire Game of Thrones video series in HD in under two seconds. This comes as Etisalat is investing heavily in its core network infrastructure in anticipation of the massive increase in traffic from high bandwidth services.

 

The Nokia field trial demonstrates that Etisalat's existing network can support the higher optical wavelength bit rates that will be required to support high-bandwidth services such as 5G extreme mobile broadband (very fast wireless to the mobile), fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) cloud services. Higher bit rates per wavelength provide power and space savings, improved network simplicity, increased spectral efficiency and capacity, and ultimately reduced cost per bit compared to optical networks composed of lower rate channels.

 

The trial successfully transmitted a record 50.8 terabits per second using multiple wavelengths, each with a net information rate of 1.3 terabits per second, over a 93-km fibre route of Etisalat's wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network. Leveraging a single optical carrier operating at 100 Gigabaud, the terabit wavelengths employed Nokia Bell Labs-pioneered probabilistic constellation shaping, or PCS, to intelligently shape the signal to achieve maximum capacity for the specific fibre route. Nokia's Photonic Service Engine 3 – now shipping to customers as part of Nokia's 1830 portfolio – is the first coherent digital signal processor to implement PCS.

 

Esmaeel Alhammadi, Senior Vice President, Network Development at Etisalat, said: "We are pleased to have partnered with Nokia Bell Labs to demonstrate that our optical network is capable of transporting a terabit per second over a single wavelength, and a total per-fibre capacity of over 50 terabits-per-second.  Increasing network capacity helps us to provide bandwidth-hungry services such as 5G extreme mobile broadband, fibre-to-the-home and DCI for enterprises."

 

Sam Bucci, Head of Optical Networking at Nokia, said: "The introduction of 5G will require a network that can support dramatic increases in bandwidth in a dynamic fashion. This ground-breaking trial with Etisalat is testimony to Nokia's commitment to continue to invest in coherent and optical component technologies required to meet the 5G networking challenge at the lowest total cost of ownership for our customers."

 

Nokia has a long history of advancing the frontiers of optical transmission. It was the first to demonstrate single-carrier 100G transmission in a deployed production network in 2007, and the first to commercialize single-carrier 100G and 200G wavelengths in 2010 and 2013, respectively. More recently, the Nokia Bell Labs optical research team published the world's first terabit-per-second transmission lab trials in 2015 and 2017.  By extending these records to a deployed operator network, Nokia Bell Labs is bringing the age of terabit wavelength networks a big step closer to reality.

 

Details of the trial have been published in a post-deadline paper at the European Conference on Optical Communication, held last week in Dublin, Ireland.

Nokia steps up commitments to limit global warming to 1.5°C

Press Release

 

• Nokia recognizes the imperative to take action and do more to limit global warming to 1.5°C and is revisiting current commitments and means to achieve this.
• Connectivity and 5G will be essential tools to ensure that the 1.5°C scenario is achievable, enabling smarter processes, smarter use of resources and better energy efficiency for all businesses.
• 1.5°C scenario will not be achieved without global co-operation. Ahead of the UN Climate Action Summit in New York, Nokia calls for other businesses and leaders to join the accord and work together to achieve meaningful progress.   

 

 

23 September 2019

 

Espoo, Finland – Rajeev Suri, President and CEO of Nokia, today announces the company's commitment to reset its science-based emission reduction targets in line with the goal to limit average rises in temperatures to 1.5°C. Nokia joins a coalition of global business, civil society, and UN leaders in responding to what the latest climate science indicates is needed to limit the worst consequences of climate change.

 

In 2017, Nokia was among the first of 100 companies in the world to commit to reduce emissions in line with the landmark Paris climate agreement. A recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) revealed that further action and increased commitments are needed to truly make a difference.

 

In response to this, Nokia is now among the first 87 companies to accelerate its commitments and recalibrate its emissions targets to do its part to limit global warming to maximum 1.5°C.

 

The company is well positioned to help to achieve this target. 5G, as a 'natively green' next-generation mobile connectivity solution, is more energy efficient, meaning energy consumption per bit is heavily reduced compared to 4G. More than that, 5G will drive industries and communities towards digitalization, automation and advanced analytics. For instance, a 5G-enabled factory can have more environmentally sustainable and efficient processes through predictive maintenance, on-demand manufacturing and use of smart logistics.  

 

Nokia is applying R&D efforts to ensure that its products and solutions are more efficient than ever, decreasing both energy bills and carbon emissions for customers. One example is Nokia's ReefShark chipset, which can reduce the power consumption of base stations by up to 64% while simultaneous improving performance. Another is Nokia's unique liquid cooling system, which can reduce a base station's CO2 emissions by up to 80%.

 

In addition, Nokia is improving its own operations through digitization and looking closely at ways to reduce travel and emissions throughout the company. By addressing these priority areas, Nokia is committed to further progressing the changes it has already made.

 

Rajeev Suri, Nokia President and CEO said:

 

"I am proud to say that we are speeding up our commitments to be in line with the new scientific consensus to limit global warming to 1.5°C. This means operational improvements, but even more importantly, increased focus to enable digitalization and connectivity to unlock major environmental efficiencies across industries and society. The climate crisis is real, but so are the tools to fight it, and we can win this fight if we act together."
