Nortel has made a couple of announcements over the last few days that have highlighted some pretty impressive optical technology leadership.

 

 

Late last week, this press release highlighted a 40gig optical win for LG-Nortel with SK Broadband, South Korea's second-largest broadband provider. Using Nortel's 40/100G solution, SK Broadband is upgrading their 10gig network to 40gig.  With the addition of DWDM capabilities, SK Broadband now has 3.52 terabits of bandwidth (40gig x 88 wavelengths) to address their growing IPTV and HD videoconferencing services -- all without having to lay a single new strand of fiber.
