OFS has published research that gives a glimpse of what the next generation of optic fibre cables will be like.
The company has produced live demonstrations of 100 Gbps transmissions while further research also looks at transmissions at 200 and 400 Gbps.
A record 64 Tbps capacity over a single optical fibre with ultra high spectral efficiency of 8 bits/s/Hz was achieved in testing with little loss reported.
Robert Lingle Jr, director of Fibre Design and Systems Research for OFS, said: "Based on the market direction toward coherent receiver technology, and considering the sensitivity of coherent techniques to non-linear effects, OFS is working with carriers and systems integrators to research what optical fibres will be necessary to enable 400 Gbps and one terabit per second (Tbps) transmission technologies."
The British government recently confirmed plans to roll out fibre cables around the country in order to provide everyone with superfast broadband by 2020.
Gordon Brown claimed that this would be essential to prevent any digital divide and to help the economy.
