Copenhagen, Denmark - September 16th 2009
Alcatel-Lucent and IPNETT has completed the 40 Gbit/s upgrade of the first
link of NORDUnet's optical and IP transport network, which provides the
Nordic infrastructure for research and education. Preparing the move to 100
Gbit/s, this network upgrade will further support new application enablement
for universities and scientists in the Nordics and strengthen international
collaborative environment. The new 40 Gbit/s per channel technology utilises
the existing network capabilities that allow for up to 96 parallel channels
on a single fiber pair.
