NTT and Danes brandish 1 petabit mega-intertube at ECOC

World Record One Petabit per Second Fiber Transmission over 50-km:
Equivalent to Sending 5,000 HDTV Videos per Second over a Single Fiber

NTT and three partners- Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Hiroo Unoura), Fujikura Ltd. (Fujikura, Koto-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO Yoichi Nagahama), Hokkaido University (Sapporo, Hokkaido, President Hiroshi Saeki), and Technical University of Denmark (DTU, Lyngby, Denmark, President Anders Overgaard Bjarklev)-demonstrated ultra-large capacity transmission of 1 petabit (1000 terabit) per second over a 52.4 km length of 12-core (light paths) optical fiber.

The present achievement indicates that transmission of one petabit per second (Pbps), capacity equivalent to sending 5,000 HDTV videos of two hours in a single second is possible over 50 km, which is approximately the distance between medium-haul telecom offices. This sets a new world record throughput over a single strand of optical fiber.

This remarkable achievement was reported as a postdeadline paper*1 on September 20, 2012 at the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communications (ECOC 2012), the largest conference on optical communication in Europe, that was held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from September 16-20, 2012.
This work was partially based on work commissioned by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT).

Doesn't surprise me in the least... I fully expect the Japanese equivalent of Manchester to be Toyohashi

I think the limit is set at 40 D/L's now but it was at 30 before...or so I've heard

@SDH-hamlet was a right fucking miserable bastard and the whole incestuous story doesn't really say much about danish character!
@frenchie-danish pastries are of viennese origin
@yanpa again-b&o stocks are in the toilet, and just about everyone else has blown them away in the last years.
