Huawei touts 320-Tbps centralized optical switching WDM prototype
Huawei used this week's Mobile World Congress to show off a 320 Tbps centralized all-optical switching WDM prototype optical crossconnect. The 320-Tbps switching capacity is 12X to 16X the capacity of traditional Optical Transport Network (OTN) crossconnects, but uses one-thousandth the power of traditional OTN switching, Huawei asserts.
