100G Poster - Trends and Issues in Ultra-High-Speed Transmission Technologies

The daily and rapid spread of the broadband environment is led by FTTx and core networks are starting to see a genuine transition from 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps. In particular, the focus is on traffic between Internet Exchanges (IXs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and the data rate at the Japan IX (JPIX) now exceeds 100 Gbps, while the world's busiest IX in Amsterdam (AMSIX) exceeds 400 Gbps.

In addition to explaining the latest technology trends from the viewpoint of a test equipment manufacturer, this poster also describes the important measuring issues.

Anritsu’s MP1800A Signal Quality Analyser (SQA) has been designed to support the new test requirements emerging from the adoption of 100 Gbit/s networking equipment. Anritsu’s SQA will perform all the key tests for 100 Gbit/s implementation in both long haul and short range, and provides a convenient upgrade path to enable the support of future requirements arising as standards evolve.

Application Note - Test Capability Requirements, 40 GE and 100 GE Physical Layers

One of the greatest challenges facing the communications industry today is the necessity for bandwidth expansion in the network’s core. In the past, the driving force behind growing bandwidth demand was the Internet data explosion. Today, the driving force is video and the Internet traffic pushing that video, whether it is from the consumer side with video-content providers such as YouTube or HULU, or from the business side with cable companies and telecommunications services providers seeking to offer more cable company-type services. Analysts expect this bandwidth explosion to continue, particularly with the move to high-definition video over IP pipes.
